In their own words
MindSpark
MindSpark is an open-source mind-mapping app that runs in a browser or can be self-hosted. Its editor combines an infinite canvas with automatic layouts, keyboard-first editing, drag-and-drop reordering, search, presentation mode, and undo and redo. A Markdown outline and the map canvas stay synchronized as users edit either view. Research tools can fill citation details from Crossref using a DOI and export cited nodes as a references list. Users can compile a map branch into a prompt, estimate its tokens, and run it with their own Anthropic or OpenAI API key. MindSpark imports JSON, OPML, Markdown, GitMind, and MindMeister files, and exports PNG, PDF, JSON, Markdown, Word, and Mermaid. Self-hosted mode stores maps in SQLite and requires Node.js 22 or later; browser mode saves maps as private JSON files in a repository on GitHub, Gitea, Forgejo, or GitLab. The app is free with no feature gates or usage limits and is released under the MIT license.
