MindTree
What MindTree is
MindTree is a paid mind-mapping app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It works offline after initial license activation, while map data stays on the user’s PC rather than MindTree’s servers. Vertical and horizontal tabs help manage multiple maps. Images can be added to nodes and backgrounds, with no stated count or size limit beyond computer performance. Maps can be imported from FreeMind files, and the app reads JSON and Markdown. Export formats include JSON, Markdown, outline text, SVG, PNG, and FreeMind. The MindTree plan is listed at $15 a month, billed one-time with tax included, for one license on one PC. There is no free plan or free trial. A license can move to another computer by deactivating the old one and activating the new one. Support uses a form, and refunds are available within seven days for unresolved issues caused by MindTree.
