I Built a Lightweight Mind Mapping Tool That's About to Change Everything
/ 2 min read
Six years ago, I stumbled into developing a web-based mind mapping core called Mind Elixir. After countless iterations, it’s finally reached a level I’m proud of—2.7K stars prove the community agrees. With AI taking over the world, it was time to ride that wave and build something extraordinary on top of this solid foundation!

After months of burning the midnight oil, I’m thrilled to officially launch Mind Elixir Desktop! 🚀
Let me cut to the chase—here’s what makes Mind Elixir Desktop absolutely game-changing:
- Cross-Platform Beast: Works seamlessly on Windows, macOS (beta), and Linux (beta)
- Privacy First: All your data stays on YOUR device—zero tracking, 100% local storage
- Ridiculously Lightweight: Built with Tauri, the entire app is under 10MB!
- Smart Organization: Intuitive tag system to keep your mind maps organized
- AI-Supercharged: Connect your API keys to leverage mainstream AI models for brainstorming
- Industry First: The world’s first mind mapping tool with MCP (Model Context Protocol) support! Check out the guide
Perfect for:
- Students organizing knowledge
- Product managers mapping requirements
- QA engineers writing test cases
- Entrepreneurs planning business strategies
- Writers structuring their ideas
