Why export mind maps to Markdown?
Works in Obsidian
Drop your exported Markdown file straight into your Obsidian vault. Headings become notes, bullets become linked outlines, and your entire mind map structure is preserved.
Great for Notion
Paste your Markdown export directly into Notion. Headings, toggle lists, and bullet points convert automatically into Notion's block-based format.
Easy to edit
Markdown is plain text. Edit your notes in any text editor, version-control them with Git, or share them anywhere without worrying about file formats.
Perfect for knowledge bases
Build a structured knowledge base from your mind maps. Use Markdown files in GitHub wikis, Docusaurus sites, or any static site generator.

How does the mind map hierarchy map to Markdown?
Each level of your mind map becomes a Markdown heading or bullet list. The root node becomes the H1 title, main branches become H2 headings, sub-branches become H3 headings, and leaf nodes become bullet points. Notes attached to nodes export as indented text under their parent.
Is exporting to Markdown free?
Generating mind maps is completely free — create as many as you want. Exporting to Markdown is a paid feature: you purchase once and get permanent, unlimited exports. No subscription required.
Can I use the exported Markdown in Obsidian?
Yes! The exported Markdown file is fully compatible with Obsidian. Drop it into your vault and it works immediately — headings render as note titles, bullets become outlines, and internal formatting is preserved.
What about Notion?
Absolutely. Copy the exported Markdown and paste it directly into a Notion page. Notion automatically converts headings, bullet lists, and other Markdown formatting into its native blocks.
Can I edit the mind map before exporting?
Yes. After generating your mind map, you can double-click any node to edit its text, use Tab to add child nodes, drag to rearrange, and refine the structure. When you're happy, export to Markdown.
What other export formats are available?
Besides Markdown, you can export your mind map as PNG (image), SVG (vector), or PDF (document). All export formats are included in the one-time purchase.
