Mindz - Mind Map & Lists

Creative Robots Labs

About this app

🚀 Mind mapping that actually works on a phone.
Most mind map apps put a huge canvas on a small screen and expect you to pinch and drag. Mindz gives you a second way in: browse and edit your map as clear, simple lists, then switch to the canvas whenever you want the full picture. 100% offline, completely private, no subscription and no ads.

📋 Two views, one map
In list view you see one level at a time, with a breadcrumb showing exactly where you are. Tap an entry to go deeper, swipe back to come up. Add nodes, reorder them and edit them the way you would in any list app — no zooming, no hunting for the right branch. One tap switches to the mind map canvas, where the same content appears as a full visual structure you can freely arrange.

🎨 Nodes that hold more than text
Give any node an image, an icon, a colour and a note. Attach links. The list view shows all of it at a glance, so a map stays readable even when it gets big.

🔒 Your data stays on your device
No account. No cloud. No tracking. Mindz works fully offline, so your notes never leave your phone unless you choose to share or back them up yourself. Privacy is not a setting here, it is how the app is built.

Ratings and reviews

The app looks good overall but like other reviews, frame drops are present & highly noticable in map view. I'm using a fairly mid range device with 4 gig of RAM, no way to blame my phone. Other than that it's nicer than other alternatives. Also this should be called as Demo version instead of Free, to avoid misunderstanding. Most of the real tweaks are locked & you can create limited maps. Even tho it's written in the description but most of the people don't read description before installing.

This is exactly what I need. Very simple yet very powerful. I actually tried 10+ other mind mapping app and tried them all. Simulating how fast and easy I can branch topics and ideas. In short, all the features that I'm looking for is here. I added this app to my workflow and immediately bought the pro version. I usually do my mapping manually/traditionally, which consumes time and now I don't have to. Can I suggest one thing? Could there be an option to shift the index panel (I don't know what it is called) from left to right? I'm using a tablet with stylus. Its going to be efficient pan the map on the left side and control the panel on the right.

This free app is limited as far as how much you can save, but, I really liked the ease of use, and layout design, so I paid a few bucks for the pro version. I figured if I can do with it (and more) what I did with free version, it was worth the money. Thank you devs!
