What Comapping is
Comapping is mind mapping software for taking notes, planning, organizing information, and sharing it. Its visual maps connect blocks of information, and topics can be dragged into a new arrangement. Notes can include attached files of any format. Maps support real-time collaboration for up to 20 active collaborators, with built-in chat. The software also includes task management with on-demand status emails and an online presentation mode. Listed platforms include web, Windows, macOS, and Linux; its desktop application supports offline work on Windows and Mac. The API reference describes importing Comapping, MindManager, FreeMind, and OPML files, and exporting maps to HTML, RTF, MPX, CSV, and OPML. The FAQ says map changes are saved to the server and backups are made hourly and kept for two months; it also says user information is not shared with third parties. Comapping became free to use on November 1, 2025, though the pricing page says the service might be retired after one year. The site says the product is built on Adobe Flash Player, which reached end of life on December 31, 2020.
