About MIND
MindMeister is a mind mapping app in the browser and on phones, made by Meister, and its maps live in its cloud. Export as MindMeister saves a map as a .mind file, which people keep as a backup or send to someone without an account, and which only MindMeister imports.
A .mind is a ZIP holding map.json, the map's ideas inside ideas from its central one, each with its title, note and link.
Filepeek shows the map as an outline, its ideas nested as they branch, each with its note and link. Filter keeps the ideas that match, and Export saves it as OPML, Markdown or FreeMind's MM, which other mind map apps import.

Questions
How do I open a .mind file without a MindMeister account?
Drop it on this page or press Peek a MIND. The map opens in your browser as an outline, without signing in anywhere.
Is a .mind file a ZIP?
Yes. It holds the map as JSON, which is why renaming it .zip shows map.json inside. Filepeek reads it without unzipping it by hand.
Can I move a MindMeister map to another app?
Yes. Choose Export, then Save as FreeMind (MM), which XMind, SimpleMind and Freeplane import, or Save the outline as OPML or Markdown.
