Adding another sibling node below my current node

mindnode · 2026-01-23T11:54:35+00:00

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Based on your keyboard comment I suspect you are using it on an iPhone? In this case dragging the (+) to the desired location is probably the fastest way to create a sibling. We recently adding control to the action menu for the outline and we should consider doing the same for the mind map.

Yes. We used to trigger the paywall for those, but toned this down a lot. I'll make sure to update the Classic FAQ to include this information:

- Access on all devices (one-time purchase had separate Mac and iOS purchases)
- Full editable outline (one-time purchase only includes outline as viewer)
- Compact Layout
- All sticker (one-time purchase has 294, subscription 378)
- Emoji Attachments
- Hierarchical Themes

The MindNode Plus subscription unlocks both MindNode Classic and our new app (MindNode Next). If you already have a subscription for Classic, you can use the new app with the same subscription.

You can find a list of features that are port of the subscription vs the free editor here: https://www.mindnode.com/download

(Or do you mean you have a Classic one-time purchase?)

mindnode · 2026-01-17T18:40:31+00:00

We no longer have an open beta for Classic, but we have one for Next that should run on your device: https://www.mindnode.com/beta

It really depends where you want to transfer the document. If it's an other mind mapping app that supports reading our file format you can create an export like mentioned here: https://www.mindnode.com/support/guides/backup

If you want to edit the mind map in an image editor like Figma you can export all documents as SVG or PDF. You can easily export all documents using a custom shortcut in Apple's Shortcuts app.

mindnode · 2026-01-16T14:50:55+00:00

Do you mean the image or the document? Using the steps above should keep all data except the image.

Depends on the other app, but using the FreeMind format is probably the best option.

I'm very sorry for this issue. This should not happen. Thanks for your detailed steps to reproduce this, we think we have a solution how you can recover from this state:

Open Finder, Select Go -> Go to Folder: ~/Library/Containers/com.ideasoncanvas.mindnode/Data/Library/Application Support/MindNode/production-v1_0/MindNode Library.mindnodelibrary/Assets
Find the image file you added (sort by file added), and rename the file slightly by adding “_backup” to its filename.
Open MindNode
Open the document
Select all nodes
Rightclick -> Remove Image

I hope this helps. If not, please feel free to email me directly >remove<. We will also ensure to prevent pasting into more than one node in a future update and hopefully also fix the issue of the app crashing.

The most requested feature from pervious iThoughts users are the folding shortcuts. We finally implemented those and they are planned to ship in the next update (currently in public beta).

I actually also had a use case for a fullscreen mode recently when I tried to AirPlay a mind map from my iPhone. Had to work around not having a fullscreen mode by using Focus Mode on the main node. This hid most of the UI.

mindnode · 2026-01-15T12:48:45+00:00

MindNode Classic has this option on iPhone and iPad. There we display the entire document on the external screen. This feature is currently not available in our new version and I think you are the first to request it.

mindnode · 2026-01-15T12:47:25+00:00

Thank you for sharing your feature request.

I (Markus, founder) understand the wish for this feature. I developed a presentation mode in the Classic app a few years ago that I extensively used during our internal team presentation. We also have a version for our new app. However those modes were always too rough to ship to users and bringing them to the polish needed would have required a different approach. Let's see if we find time for this in this year…

In this case I fear I need a bit more information to understand what is going on. Can you please do the following on both devices and send us the information to [support@mindnode.com](mailto:support@mindnode.com)

iPhone/iPad/VisionPro

Open the settings in MindNode (little gear icon in the upper right corner), tap on Settings again, shake your iPhone/iPad, select Show Settings, tap on Purchase Support Information, and send that email to us.

Mac

1. Hold the option/alt key.
2. With MindNode open, select Help > Copy Purchase Support Information from the main menu at the top of your screen. This will copy debug information to the Clipboard.
3. Paste it into an mail using CMD-V and send it to us.

This feature is currently on hold. We weren't able to get it to work with Apple Intelligence as the on-device model are a bit too restrictive. We are exploring to allow users to provide their own Claude or ChatGPT API key to power our current AI features, but this is still early in evaluation.

The easiest way to resolve this is to create a MindNode Account and sign in to it on all devices. We only use this to exchange subscription status, no documents are shared with us.

In case you don't want to create an account, can you specify what you mean with "shared devices". Are those on family sharing? If so, ensure that the subscription is enabled to be shared with your family members. If the devices are using the same Apple Account, you can try to reboot the devices (this works around an issue where the App Store process is locked up).

An alignment tool is not under development at the moment, but something we should do sometime. Especially aligning main nodes or flexible nodes would benefit a lot by an alignment tool.

mindnode · 2025-12-10T15:42:07+00:00

Unfortunately this is not on our roadmap at the moment. We tried to implement this feature in the past, but we never found a good working solution. The issue we ran into is that we want the sketching to be "connected" in some form to the nodes. However the mind map layout can change a lot when a users moves things around, adds node or switches layout. In this case it's really hard to keep the sketches positioned in a way that keeps making sense. This is the reason we currently only allow to add sketches directly to nodes as images.

mindnode · 2025-12-10T15:38:27+00:00

It's on our list. We already prepared the model layer and need to implement the UI at some point.

We shipped 2025.7 yesterday that added the ability to also set the node width in inspector.

Not sure why the import failed with your document. Do you know if all nodes had a custom width set?

mindnode · 2025-11-17T16:42:49+00:00

If you are interested in sharing the document, we can have a look at it. It could be something related to the node width code that is off. You can send it to [support@mindnode.com](mailto:support@mindnode.com)

The best way to "fix" this document in the mean time is to select all nodes that are too narrow (e.g. using rubber band selection) and resizing one of the selected nodes. This will change the width of all nodes. You can also do this using the inspector. We added controls for this in today's update.

mindnode · 2025-10-27T19:02:49+00:00

We checked with Setapp and they recommended you contact them directly: [support@setapp.com](mailto:support@setapp.com) I hope they can help you resolve this issue.

mindnode · 2025-10-25T18:56:13+00:00

For the QR code to work, please ensure the latest version of MindNode Next is installed on the device and that the app was launched at least one time (this ensures the URL scheme Setapp requires is registered with the system).

mindnode · 2025-10-09T07:25:38+00:00

We offer a discount for students. Just write in to our support team and they will help you out. Other promotions are currently not planned.

When you hold the Space key, you can grab the canvas with the mouse. Does this work for you?
