中文文档

An interactive mindmap plugin with bidirectional Markdown synchronization, multiple structural views, AI-assisted editing, and slideshow export.

Features

  • Bidirectional Markdown sync — edits in the mindmap reflect in Markdown and vice versa.
  • Multiple views — Basic mindmap, FolderView (from directory structure), TagView (from tags), and CoTView (chain-of-thought outline).
  • Focus view — deterministic partitioned layout centered on a selected node, showing parents, children, links, tags, and siblings in fixed regions.
  • AI integration — expand or decompose nodes with AI; chat-based brainstorming panel. (Requires an API key and contacts an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.)
  • Slide presentation — generate presentation decks from mindmap structure, with AI-assisted slide generation and style presets.
  • Export — export to PNG, JPEG, HTML, Canvas, Excalidraw, or Markdown.
  • Import — import OPML and XMind files.
  • Rich node editing — inline editing, drag-and-drop reordering, copy/paste, find-and-replace, tags, outlinks between nodes.
  • Undo/redo — full command history for mindmap operations.
  • Laser pen — freehand laser drawing for presentations and focus sessions.
  • Multi-language — supports English, 中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, Русский, العربية, and more.
  • Keyboard-driven — full keyboard shortcut coverage for node creation, editing, navigation, and view toggling.

Usage

Create a new mindmap via the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd+P → "Create new mindmap"), or add a mm-view frontmatter key to an existing Markdown file:

---
mm-view: basic
---

# My Mindmap
## Branch 1
## Branch 2

Switch between mindmap and Markdown views with Ctrl/Cmd+P → "Toggle markdown/mindmap".

AI Features

This plugin can send node content to an OpenAI-compatible API for AI-powered node expansion, task decomposition, and chat-based brainstorming.

  • Network usage: AI features contact the configured API endpoint (https://api.openai.com/v1 by default, configurable in settings). The plugin sends the selected node text and surrounding file context as prompts. No vault data is sent beyond the current file's content.
  • Requirements: You must provide your own API key and configure the endpoint in plugin settings. No account with the plugin author is required for AI features.
  • API key storage: The API key is stored locally in Obsidian's plugin data and is never sent to any server other than the configured API endpoint.

Licensing

Some features require a paid license. The license is verified via a remote license server.

  • License server: When you activate or refresh a license, the plugin contacts the configured license server. The following data is sent: license key, device identifier, device name, and app version. No vault content is transmitted during license operations.
  • Offline grace period: Licensed features remain available for a limited grace period without network access before requiring an online refresh.
  • Free features: Basic mindmap editing, Markdown sync, keyboard shortcuts, undo/redo, and view toggling are available without a license.
