Mind Map Maker
Turn an outline or Markdown headings into a tree
Type an indented outline, or use Markdown headings (#, ##, ###), and see it redrawn instantly as a branching text tree — the same shape as a directory listing.

What this tool does
A mind map starts as a list before it is ever a diagram: a topic, its sub-points, and their sub-points, expressed by indentation or by heading depth. This tool reads that structure directly — two-space or bullet indentation for an outline, or hash-count for Markdown headings — and draws it as a plain-text tree with the connecting lines a person would draw by hand. There is nothing to save or sync: the tree is recomputed from the text on every keystroke, and copying the result is a single click.
How to use it
- Type an outline using indentation or bullets, or Markdown headings.
- Watch the tree preview update as you type.
- Copy the tree once it matches your outline.
Privacy
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it support both indentation and Markdown headings?
- Yes. Indented lines or bullets ("- " / "* ") set depth by indent width, and lines starting with #, ## or ### set depth by the number of hash marks. You can mix styles across an outline.
- Is my outline saved anywhere?
- No. The tree is rebuilt from the text in your browser on every change and nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
- Can I paste the tree into a document?
- Yes. Copy it and paste it anywhere plain text and a monospace font are supported, such as a code block or a plain-text note.
