MindNode Triad

About Us

At IdeasOnCanvas, we believe every great project starts with a single idea. That’s why we created MindNode, a mind mapping app built exclusively for Apple platforms. It turns sparks of inspiration into clear, structured plans, helping you see connections, stay focused, and move ideas forward.

Since 2008, our small Austrian team has dedicated itself to perfecting this one product. With that focus, we craft a seamless, native experience across all Apple devices—one that millions of people around the world rely on to think more clearly, stay organized, and unlock their creativity.
