A local-first mind-map knowledge base

Give every idea a place to belong.

Start with one map, see the connections, then shape scattered notes into a knowledge base you can search, trace, and keep building.

A clear way to work

From scattered material to a coherent view

mindb keeps the work in one visual space. The content, its relationships, and your next action stay visible.

  1. 01

    Capture, then organize

    Put text and media into nodes, then drag, indent, and fold them into shape. Your map saves automatically.

  2. 02

    Help knowledge find itself

    Cross-map links, backlinks, and full-vault keyword search connect material spread across different maps.

  3. 03

    You decide how it evolves

    Use AI chat to propose expansions or restructuring. Suggestions remain distinct from applied changes until you approve them.

Clear data boundaries

Know where your work is stored.

Web

Start now, sign in later

Guest maps stay in this browser. They do not appear automatically on another device, and clearing this browser's data deletes them. After sign-in, maps are stored by account on the server.

Desktop

Readable files stay on your computer

Maps are readable .mind files with media in the vault folder, making backup and migration straightforward.
