GoMind

GoMind is a mind map workspace for organizing knowledge, developing ideas, and converting outlines into usable results. It offers more than 17 layouts and imports XMind, Markdown, YAML, OPML, FreeMind, and plain text. Maps can span multiple pages, link across pages, and include custom connections, branch memos, and focus history. Notes on map nodes can contain Markdown, HTML, LaTeX, code blocks, and Mermaid. AI workflows can create, revise, organize, read, and inspect maps; listed connections include OpenAI-compatible services, MCP, and OpenClaw. Exports include PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, Markdown, and OPML. The product describes itself as local-first and lists autosave recovery, document-level undo and redo, and complete import and export. GoMind runs on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, and supports offline mode. The free plan includes core mind mapping, rich notes and layouts, and import and export. Plus is $9.90 a month as a one-time unlock; Pro is $1.99 a month. Private deployment is available for organizations.

GoMind combines flexible map structures, rich notes, and broad import and export options. Individuals can start on the free plan, while organizations can choose private deployment.

GoMind suits individuals who want to organize ideas in maps and use notes, imports, and exports across supported devices. Its private deployment option is intended for organizations that need maps kept on internal networks or private infrastructure.

GoMind is a mind-mapping workspace for individuals and organizations that need maps to hold more than a simple outline. Its mix of layouts, detailed notes, offline access, and broad file support makes it a strong choice for building and carrying forward complex ideas.

It is less suited to group sessions that depend on live collaboration or to users who need presentation mode.

Overview

GoMind lets users build maps across multiple pages, connect those pages, add custom connections, and keep branch memos and focus history. That structure suits projects with linked themes or material that develops over time; a basic diagram may not need this range. Its local-first approach, autosave recovery, and document-level undo and redo support work centered on keeping and revising documents on the device.

Key features

The homepage describes more than 17 layouts, giving users options for shaping a map around its contents. Import support covers XMind, Markdown, YAML, OPML, FreeMind, and plain text. Export formats include PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, Markdown, OPML, DOCX, and XLSX. Together, those options make GoMind practical for bringing existing outlines into a project and moving finished work into image, document, or structured-text workflows.

Node notes support Markdown, HTML, LaTeX, code blocks, and Mermaid. That makes each node capable of holding technical or formatted supporting material, rather than relying on a separate notes file. AI workflows can create, edit, organize, read, and inspect maps; connections listed for GoMind AI Relay include OpenAI-compatible services, MCP, and OpenClaw. These tools broaden the ways users can work with maps, though they do not replace the need for real-time collaboration, which GoMind does not offer.

GoMind supports offline use and is available on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The download page gives minimum system requirements of Windows 10, macOS 10.14, 64-bit Linux with GTK 3.0+, Android 6.0, or iOS 12.0. There is no presentation mode, so users who need to present maps directly should consider another tool.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed forever. It includes core mind mapping, rich notes and layouts, and import and export workflows, making it a sensible starting point for individuals. Plus costs $9.90 a month as a one-time unlock and adds watermark-free PDF and PNG export, more visual assets, and additional capabilities. It suits users who want cleaner image and PDF exports without a recurring subscription.

Pro costs $1.99 a month, billed per month, and adds more usage, advanced features, and Pro-only visual assets on top of Plus. Pro yearly costs $19.90 a year, billed per year; the first year is $9.9 for eligible education users. It includes Pro features and higher limits. The monthly plan suits users who prefer a monthly term, while the annual plan is aimed at users who want higher limits on a yearly subscription. The available personal plans are for individuals.

Organizations needing maps kept on private infrastructure can choose Enterprise deployment license, priced at $6,000 a month for one standard production deployment, with up to 50 seats. Enterprise base service costs $1,000 a year per deployment and includes security updates and basic support. Customer-operated infrastructure has no uptime SLA, an important consideration for organizations that need a contractual service guarantee.

Who it's for

GoMind is best for individuals who want flexible map structures, rich notes, offline access, and the freedom to import and export in several formats. Its Enterprise options also address organizations that need private deployment. It is a weaker fit for teams that need live co-editing or users who want to present directly from the app.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Multiple pages, cross-page links, custom connections, and branch memos suit connected projects that outgrow a single-page map.
• Pros: Imports and exports span common map formats, structured text, images, and office documents, giving users flexibility to bring work in and take it elsewhere.
• Pros: Offline mode, autosave recovery, and document-level undo and redo support local document work and recovery.
• Cons: No real-time collaboration makes it a poor choice for teams that need to edit maps together live.
• Cons: No presentation mode means users needing an in-app presentation workflow should look elsewhere.
• Cons: The Enterprise deployment license and base service are separate charges, and customer-operated infrastructure has no uptime SLA.
