What it does
Turns a topic or an uploaded document into a branching map, then lets you expand any node into sub-branches and have the AI search the web and write summaries with links for deeper reading. Everything is editable by hand too — drag to reorder, insert images, recolour branches, add checkboxes, export in several formats, with history and undo. Usable straight from the browser, or self-hosted against a local Ollama model if you would rather keep the material off someone else's server. No licence file is published.

Mind-Map-Wizard FAQ
- Is Mind-Map-Wizard free?
- Mind-Map-Wizard itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use Mind-Map-Wizard?
- You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.
- Does Mind-Map-Wizard work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use Mind-Map-Wizard commercially?
- We could not confirm this. The publisher does not state it clearly, so we have not verified whether what you make with it may be used commercially. Ask the publisher before relying on it.
