  • Visual organization: Toggle node visibility, collapse/expand sections at any depth, focus on specific branches, and adjust spacing and width to suit your needs
  • Ranking system: Vote on ideas with positive and negative points, or use star ratings to prioritize options during group workshops
  • Search functionality: Find phrases across your entire map and navigate between results
  • Export options: Save as HTML files or export text maps directly to clipboard
  • Customizable: Configure colors, key bindings, clipboard behavior, and auto-save settings through a simple config file
  • Marks and symbols: Add checkmarks, crosses, numbers, and stars to track status and priority
