Mind Garden: Mind Map & To-do

A little idea. A clear next step.

Mind Garden is a free mind map tool for Mac that brings your ideas, to-do lists and illustrations into one calm workspace.

SEE THE BIG PICTURE Create colorful branches, connect related thoughts and arrange your map. Add notes and reusable tags to keep details close. Plan a launch, explore a creative project or untangle a busy day.

TURN IDEAS INTO ACTION Add to-dos to any idea. See tasks from its branches together, mark them complete and keep the next step in view.

ILLUSTRATE WITH APPLE INTELLIGENCE Get an illustration prompt from Apple’s on-device language model, then create an image with Image Playground. Artwork sits beside your ideas. The Shortcuts action can suggest an illustration for the selected idea.

A PRIVATE SPACE TO THINK No account, no ads and no tracking SDKs. Mind Garden does not send your maps or to-dos to EasyDigital. Projects autosave on your Mac; connect a folder such as iCloud Drive if you want optional sync. Open and export your own .mindgarden files.

FREE TO USE No subscriptions or in-app purchases. Each map supports up to 150 ideas, with notes, tags, illustrations and to-dos.

Requires macOS 26 or later. Mind maps and to-dos work without AI. Apple Intelligence and Image Playground require supported hardware, languages, regions and system settings. AI illustration prompts are generated in English. Image Playground models and processing are managed by Apple and depend on your choices.

Deleted projects can be restored; local history and exported or synced copies may remain. See the privacy policy for details.
