MindMeister

MindMeister is an online mind mapping tool from Meister, released in 2007, that lets users start with a central topic and build outward with draggable branches. Maps can include links, notes, emojis and images, and can be shared for simultaneous editing, presented directly from the map, or exported to image, PDF, Word and PowerPoint formats. It runs in the browser with native iOS and Android apps, and maps sync across devices.

Core capabilities include templates, presentation mode, focus mode, outline mode, version history, and the MeisterTask integration for turning topics into tasks. Meister AI generates a map from a prompt or uploaded file and can expand branches, shorten text, add notes, or tidy the map; a beta MCP connection links MindMeister to Claude. Integrations include Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace, with SAML SSO, role-based access controls, two-factor authentication, and admin controls available on higher tiers. Data is hosted in Germany under ISO 27001 certification.

MindMeister is aimed at individuals, students, educators, small teams, and enterprises. It is packaged as a free plan with a limited number of maps, plus Personal, Pro, and Business editions priced per user, with AI creation marked as beta.
