What is YaviMind?
Mind mapping, minus the friction
YaviMind is a web-based mind mapping tool for brainstorming, planning and note-taking. You double-click to create a bubble, drag to connect ideas, and every change saves to the cloud instantly โ from any browser, on any device, anywhere in the world.
Features
Everything you need to map an idea
Powerful where it matters, invisible everywhere else.
Drag to connect
Pull the ๏ผ handle from any bubble and drop it on empty space to create a linked child, or onto another bubble to join two ideas with a smooth curve.
Cloud autosave
Every edit is saved to the cloud within a second โ moving, typing, connecting, recoloring. Close the tab, come back later, everything is exactly where you left it.
Live collaboration
Share a map to any email address. Once your teammate signs in, you both edit the same canvas at the same time, with changes syncing every few seconds.
Multiple map files
Keep a separate map for every project, class or client. Create, rename and delete maps from a clean sidebar โ all under one free account.
Glass design
A calm, iOS-inspired frosted-glass interface with soft pastel colors keeps the focus on your thinking, not on the tool.
Passwordless sign-in
Register with just your name and email. A secure one-time link lands in your inbox โ nothing to remember, nothing to leak.
Works everywhere
Desktop, tablet or phone โ YaviMind is fully responsive and touch-friendly in any modern browser. No app store, no installs, no updates.
How it works
From blank canvas to big picture in three steps
You will be mapping within a minute of arriving.
Register with your email
Enter your name and email address. Click the secure link we send you โ that's the whole sign-up. No password to invent, no form to fill.
Drop your ideas as bubbles
Double-click anywhere to create a bubble. Drag the ๏ผ handle to branch it into children, connect separate thoughts, recolor and rearrange freely.
Share and build together
Invite anyone by email. They sign in, open the shared map, and you refine the idea together in real time โ while autosave guards every change.
Collaboration
Two minds, one map, zero conflicts
Mind maps get better with a second brain. YaviMind's sharing is built for that: invite by email, require sign-in for privacy, and edit simultaneously. If two people change the same thing at once, YaviMind merges the edits instead of losing them.
- Brainstorming sessions โ capture every idea from the whole team on one canvas, live.
- Project planning โ break a goal into workstreams, tasks and owners, level by level.
- Study notes โ turn a chapter into a memory-friendly tree of concepts and examples.
- Content outlines โ structure articles, videos and presentations before writing a word.
- Meeting notes โ map decisions and action items as they happen, then share the map instead of minutes.
