The whole application runs in your browser with no signup, no download and no account. It is not a video and not a sandbox — it is the product.
The facts
| What it is | A mind-mapping and whiteboard app that runs in the browser and installs as an app. One document reads six ways — mind map, kanban board, Gantt chart, page of notes, spreadsheet or presentation. An account syncs your maps across your devices; everything keeps working offline, and any map exports as a file you keep. |
|---|---|
| Categories | Mind mapping · Diagramming · Note-taking · Productivity · Local-first software |
| Alternative to | XMind, MindMeister, Miro, Coggle, SimpleMind, MindNode, Whimsical, Excalidraw |
| Platforms | Any modern browser · macOS, Windows, Linux · iOS and Android as an installable web app |
| Price | Free plan, $0 forever — an account, the whole editor, and 10 maps synced across your devices. Pro is $9 a month or $79 a year, and every account starts with 14 days of Pro without a card. Current pricing is always on tabtree.app — please link rather than quote a figure. |
| What Pro adds | Unlimited synced maps, 5 million relayed AI credits a month (no key of your own needed), the Claude connector, publishing a map to a link, and the Pro templates. Nothing is ever locked: when Pro ends you move to Free and every map stays readable, editable and exportable. |
| Licence model | Proprietary, subscription. The Claude connector is separate and permissively open source. Holders of the earlier one-time licence keep it: their copy is still served, still activates and still works offline — the subscription replaced the offer, not the product they bought. |
| Refunds | 14 days, no questions |
| Publisher | TabTree — bootstrapped, solo, no outside funding |
| Founder | Youssef Ghalem, Casablanca, Morocco |

Boilerplate — three lengths
Copy any of these verbatim. They are the same text we submit to directories, so quoting them keeps everything consistent.
One line
Mind maps and whiteboards in one document that reads six ways.
Short — about 150 characters
TabTree is a mind-mapping and whiteboard app. One document reads six ways — map, kanban, Gantt, notes, spreadsheet, presentation — and works offline.
Medium — about 500 characters
TabTree is a mind-mapping and whiteboard app that runs in your browser and installs as an app. One document reads six ways: mind map, kanban board, Gantt chart, page of notes, spreadsheet or full-screen presentation — you switch views, nothing is converted. An account syncs your maps across devices, and everything keeps working offline. Send a whole map as one .html file that opens anywhere with nothing installed, and Claude can read your library and write new maps into it through a free connector.
Why this is not the four-hundredth mind-mapping tool
If you write one paragraph about TabTree, this is the paragraph.
- It is one document. The entire editor — templates, exporters, presentation mode, its own test suite — is a single HTML document, with two small modules beside it for the account. No installer, no build step, no runtime dependencies.
- It works offline, and it is not a thin client. The whole editor is in your browser: edits are saved locally the moment you make them and sync when you are back online. Install it and a disconnected laptop still opens, edits and exports every map on that device.
- Nothing is ever locked. The free plan is not a trial that expires: when Pro ends you keep every map readable, editable and exportable, and ten of them keep syncing. Any map leaves as a file, an image, a PDF, a video or a carousel — there is no proprietary format to be trapped in.
- One document, six ways to read it. The same tree is a mind map, a kanban board, a Gantt chart, a page of notes, a spreadsheet or a full-screen presentation. You switch views — nothing is converted, so nothing is lost.
- You can email the app with the map inside it. Export one
.htmlfile that carries both. Your reader double-clicks it and can read, navigate and even present your map — offline, with nothing installed and no account. No hosted competitor can do this, because their application does not fit in a file. - Claude writes into it. A free connector lets Claude read your library and turn a transcript, a spec or a conversation into a real map on your disk. On the official MCP registry, it is the only mind-mapping server that writes local files rather than requiring a cloud account.
What ships in the app
Counted on the shipping build, 21 September 2026.
| Templates | 87 templates in 13 families — including Business Model Canvas, Lean Canvas, Value Proposition Canvas, SWOT, AARRR, the 1-Page Marketing Plan and OKRs. Every one has a direct link, so a template is a page you can open. A handful more are reserved for Pro. |
|---|---|
| Diagrams | 18 generators: pie and donut charts, pyramids, funnels, 2×2 matrices, Venn diagrams, fishbones, magic quadrants, KPI dials, sunbursts and more — typed as text, drawn as ordinary shapes you can then move and recolour. |
| Artwork | 156 line icons and 48 flat illustrations, drawn for the product, so nothing is fetched from anywhere |
| Looks | 9 skins, 10 branch palettes, 12 font stacks, 16 backgrounds, light and dark themes — all system fonts, no web fonts, no external requests |
| Layouts | 6: balanced, one-sided, org chart, radial, outline and timeline |
| It opens | .xmind, Markdown, OPML, Excalidraw scenes, Trello
exports, CSV and Excel lists, and its own format |
| It produces | High-resolution PNG posts, carousel PDFs, MP4 flythroughs with subtitles and music, Markdown, CSV, one-file HTML, and a published link with an optional password |
What it is not
So you do not have to discover this in a review.
- Not real-time collaboration. Two people cannot type in the same map at once today — shared cursors are on the roadmap, not in the product. What exists: a map published to a link can be opened for guest edits, and those come back into your own copy on a click.
- Not a team product yet. An account is one person. Shared spaces and a Team plan are on the roadmap; today people who work together share a backup folder on iCloud, Dropbox or Google Drive — files, not cursors.
- Not a native mobile app. On a phone it installs as a web app.
- Not open source. The application is proprietary. Only the Claude connector is open, and it is permissively licensed.
- Not a zero-knowledge vault. Synced maps are stored on our servers so they can reach your other devices. Maps you keep on one device never leave it, AI requests are relayed and never stored, and every map exports as a file you keep.

Writing about it
Reviewers and journalists: write to info@tabtree.app and say where you plan to publish. Founder interviews, a walkthrough call, or answers in writing — whichever suits you.
Two things we would ask, and neither is unusual: link to tabtree.app rather than quoting a price that may have moved, and try the demo before deciding what the product is. Three seconds in it says more than this page.
