Mind Maps

It would be great if mind maps were integrated into the features set for your app! Something sort of like MindNode. I like how easy it is to use their app for those things, but I use Goodnotes for everything else

Thanks for your feedback!

We're excited to announce that mind-mapping tools are now available in the latest version of Goodnotes on Apple devices.


Here are a few ways you can start mind mapping in Goodnotes:


1. Freehand with available shapes and arrows:

You have all the tools you need to start capturing ideas and making connections between them.

Learn more about the improved shape tools.


2. Using the Spider Map template for Whiteboard documents:

In the latest version of Goodnotes, we've introduced a new document type called "Whiteboard."

Learn more about Whiteboard.


To access it, click the "+" icon on the right side of the toolbar, then select "View All Templates." You'll see the Spider Map (Mind Map) template ready to add to your board.


Make sure your app is updated to the latest version to get access to these features.

We're glad you're here

    I love Goodnotes' perfomance and would like to stick to it, but there is a vital function I cannot find in it yet: mindmapping notes orgainzation. Mindmapping here means basically a function for notes organization, rather than releasing a whole lot of mindmapping functions as an app. Categorising, subcategorising, bookmarking, and searching can show relevant notes together in a one-dimensional directory-structure or randomly in a group from searching, while mindmapping would visualize a two-dimensional network-structure. The latter would be more powerful and intuitive. In addition to be able to go down a tunnel to fetch my thought, I would very much like to see how a thought of mine has been conneted to all the other thoughts.

    Disagree. Keep Goodnotes simple. It is a handwriting app for taking notes and sketches. If you like Mindmaps, draw it manually or use a MindMap App. For arrows, symbols or stamps, you can create your own library of PNGˋs and strore them in „Fotos“ or any cloud service.
    Again, please do no overload Goodnotes with dedicated features. It should stay a digital note-taking-app, just replacing the paper.

    I would like arrows and other signs like Skitch app for Ios for anoted sketch

  • Emily Hegarty commented  ·   ·  Report

    I think some of the mind mapping tools will export your mind map as a PDF and then you could add it to your notebook.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Never. Use a "mindmap" App instead.
    Besides and with my full respect: Mindmapping is overrated.

    Also it'd be awfully nice if we'd be able to make vector-shapes ourselves, e.g. in Affinity Designer :-)

  • PierreLeRoi commented  ·   ·  Report

    Fully agree with Jessie, using diagrams (engineering, modeling for ex.) within handwritten text require predefined shapes. For example, See how powerpoint implements this in its Insert/Shapes drop down menu under shapes.

    Please do it and you are nr. 1 in Notes App in the World

  • Alfred Arent commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please do Mindmaping function, like Mindmeister, in GoodNotes!!!

  • Martie commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you want mind maps, use a mind mapping tool like iThoughts. Please don't expect Goodnotes to do everything. It's beauty is in its minimalism.

    I am a neurophysiologist and am constantly designing experiments. There are many moving parts and it helps to be able to draw flow charts and mind maps for each experimental design. I know many people have requested arrows, and I just want to ask that in addition to arrows we get dynamic colored text boxes (squares would be fine if they could remain editable in brain-map mode) so that I don't have to lasso things to move them and change how they connect. And PLEASE LOTS of color options and thicknesses with these!!

    Insuggest you add a mindmapping function to Goodnotes, either a plain vanilla one or as an import
