Simple Mindmap

Create keyboard-centric mind maps in Obsidian with wiki-linked notes, drag-and-drop editing, and Markdown export.

Obsidian License Version

Overview

Simple Mindmap adds a dedicated mind map view to your vault. Build hierarchies with the keyboard, link nodes to existing notes, reorganize with drag-and-drop, and export outlines or merged documents when you are ready to publish.

demo

Features

  • Mind map editing — Create, rename, delete, collapse, and reorder nodes; multi-select; undo (Ctrl/Cmd+Z).
  • Keyboard-first workflow — Navigate and edit without leaving the keyboard; customizable hotkeys in settings.
  • Note integration — Link nodes with [[wikilinks]], search and attach notes, create notes from nodes, open linked notes.
  • Drag-and-drop — Reorder siblings, reparent nodes, and drop external notes onto the map.
  • Markdown import/export — Import the active note’s list structure; export the map as a Markdown outline.
  • Full note export — Compile linked note content into one Markdown document (optional YAML stripping).
  • .mindmap files — Store maps as vault files with a JSON data block for persistence and version control.

Getting started

  1. Enable Simple Mindmap in Settings → Community plugins.
  2. Click the network ribbon icon or create/open a .mindmap file.
  3. Select the map canvas so keyboard shortcuts apply (click the background once).
