UMind is a new open-source application for creating mind maps. Unlike traditional mind mapping tools, it lets you build a map by editing a clear, nested text list that directly represents the tree structure. Each node contains a title and an optional note written in Markdown. From this textual representation, the application automatically generates a graphical mind map while preserving the order of the nodes. Instead of drawing and rearranging nodes with a mouse, the map is generated directly from the text.
UMind is written in JavaScript as a static web application. It can be run directly from a local disk or hosted on virtually any standard web server. All data remains stored locally on the user's device, so no registration or connection to an online service is required.
