CloudMindMaps is browser-based software for making, editing, and sharing mind maps.
What CloudMindMaps is
CloudMindMaps is browser-based software for making, editing, and sharing mind maps. Maps save automatically and sync across devices, and you can invite collaborators to edit in real time, publish read-only links, or embed live maps. It imports and exports FreeMind .mm files, with image and outline exports also available. Its AI tools can turn URLs, meeting notes, and submitted files into maps. An API key can connect Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP client to create maps in your account; the site also describes connecting Fireflies.ai to generate maps from meetings. The service works in modern desktop, tablet, and phone browsers without installation. Cloud maps are private by default, and users decide whether to share them. The privacy policy says account data includes your name, email, maps, and basic anonymous usage data, and states that the service uses industry-standard encryption. Its free plan is free and includes creation, editing, export, sync, sharing, collaboration, and AI-assisted generation.
