See the shape of an idea before you decide its order

Use TreeNote Mind Map to explore an outline branch visually. Brainstorm, see relationships and return to structured writing without moving your ideas into another app.

Brainstorm visually in the same place you will do the work

Open any branch in Mind Map to see its central idea and the thoughts around it. The map is another view of your TreeNote outline, so every idea stays ready to be refined, moved and written into the structure you need.

Move from idea to structure

Start with a central topic and add the first ideas beneath itThe parent becomes the centre of the map; its children become the first ring around it.
Switch to Mind Map to see how those ideas relateReading a branch radially shows you the balance of it — which strand has five ideas under it and which has one.
Add, move or refine items as the thinking developsEvery change is a change to the outline itself, so nothing has to be transcribed later.
Return to the outline when you are ready to sequenceThe same branch is already there, waiting to become a chapter list, a plan or a set of next actions.

Exploring a research question and its supporting claims
Brainstorming product, project or business ideas

Explore freely, then write with clarity

Mind Map helps you make sense of an idea before forcing it into a linear order. When the direction is clear, the same branch is already waiting as an outline—no export, conversion or duplicate notes required.

Give your next idea room to take shape.

Start with one branch in TreeNote, explore it visually, then turn it into the work you want to make.
