About MINDNODE
MindNode is a mind mapping app for the Mac, iPhone and iPad, made by IdeasOnCanvas in Vienna. It's only for Apple's devices, so its .mindnode files reach Windows, Android and Linux with nothing there to open them. Since late 2024 the app that keeps maps as these files is called MindNode Classic.
A .mindnode is a package, a folder the Mac shows as one file, which the Mac zips when it's mailed or uploaded. Inside, contents.xml is a binary property list of the maps on its canvas, each node with its title, note, link, task, tags and style, the pictures its nodes show are in a folder beside it, and a picture of the whole map is kept for Quick Look.
Filepeek reads it in your browser with a reader of its own. Each map opens as an outline of its branches in their colors, each node with its note, task, tags, picture and link, and the links drawn across branches lead to their other end. Filter keeps the nodes that match, and Export saves the map as OPML, Markdown or FreeMind's MM, which other mind map apps import.

Questions
How do I open a MindNode file on Windows?
Drop it on this page or press Peek a MINDNODE. The map opens in your browser as an outline, on Windows, Android or Linux, with nothing to install.
Why did my .mindnode file come as a ZIP?
A .mindnode is a package, a folder the Mac shows as one file, so the Mac zips it to send it. Drop the ZIP here as it is, and the map inside opens.
Can I move a MindNode 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.
Does it show the map as MindNode draws it?
No. It shows the same branches as an outline, in their colors, which reads well on any screen.
