FAQ

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. 100% of your data processing happens completely client-side. We do not upload your mind map files, keystrokes, or project nodes to any external server.

Can I load saved projects?

Yes! Just export your work as a .json file. When you return, click "Import" to restore your entire layout, colors, and node connections.

Are there limits?

No, there are no limits on nodes, layers, or branches. Create highly comprehensive layouts for your complex architectures!
