Thoughtree: Mind Map

Native mind mapping for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Create and search maps from Shortcuts, open them from Spotlight, restyle with themes, and sync via iCloud Drive.

Write down your thoughts, branch them out, and watch the shape of your thinking emerge. Thoughtree is a mind mapping app built natively in Swift for Mac, iPhone, and iPad — from early project outlines to daily notes.

KEY FEATURES

Shortcuts Integration Run "Create Mind Map", "Open Mind Map", and "Search Mind Maps" from the Shortcuts app or Siri. Turn a meeting note into a map with one tap, or build your own automations.

Open from Spotlight Every saved map is indexed by Spotlight. Search by topic name and jump straight into the map.

Fast, Focused Mapping Add child and sibling topics in a keystroke, drag branches into place, and dim everything but the branch you're working on with Focus Mode.

Restyle in One Tap Switch a whole map's colors, shapes, and line styles instantly with Thoughtree's original themes.

iCloud Drive Sync Keep your maps in sync across every Mac, iPhone, and iPad signed in with the same Apple ID.

Cross-Map Search Search topic text, notes, links, and attachment names across every map you've saved.

Markdown Notes Add a free-form Markdown note to any topic, right alongside its title.

Tasks & Images See task progress right on the map, and attach images to any topic.
