The mind-mapping tool I built because every other one shipped my

For years I relied on mind-mapping and note tools that quietly moved my work into their own clouds. As an independent developer who cares about privacy, that never sat right with me — my rough ideas, meeting notes, and half-formed plans shouldn't belong to a SaaS company.

So I built Mind Elixir. It started over six years ago as an open-source JavaScript mind-mapping engine (mind-elixir-core, MIT licensed). I kept refining it until it became a real desktop app: fully local, AI-powered, and the first to support the MCP protocol, so AI can read your map and expand ideas right on your device.

Today Mind Elixir is a 20MB app that opens instantly on Windows, macOS, and Linux. No account required to start, no tracking, no cloud. Just your ideas — owned by you.
