What My Mind is

My Mind is a free web application for creating and managing mind maps. It runs on the web and can also be self-hosted from its source archive or repository through a local web server. Editing controls cover map layout, shapes, values, statuses, item and text colors, and icons. You can load and save local files from other mind-mapping applications, then export maps as images or in MyMind, MindMup JSON, FreeMind XML, MindMap Architect XML, tab-indented plaintext, SVG, and PNG formats. Browser localStorage can hold maps, but its generated permalink cannot be shared. Firebase storage adds real-time synchronization for multi-user collaboration. Google Drive storage provides shareable permalink URLs through Drive permissions, and a generic DAV-like REST API is supported. The source is under the MIT license. Opening index.html directly in a browser does not currently work.

Who it suits

My Mind suits people who need browser-based mind-map creation with many export formats, collaboration options, or self-hosting. It also fits users managing files from other mind-mapping applications.

Verdict

My Mind provides broad mind-map editing, export, storage, and collaboration choices at no cost. Self-hosting has a server requirement, and browser localStorage links are not shareable.
