What Makes Tectonian the Best Mind Map for
ADHD Brains & Visual Thinkers Alike

Not just another mind map. Built for brains that need structure without rigidity.

Unlockable Branches

Set criteria to lock branches. As you complete tasks and meet conditions, paths unlock — turning progress into something visible and rewarding.

Physics-Based Layout

Nodes repel each other like tectonic plates. Drag one and watch the rest shift into place — no manual arranging, no overlapping chaos.

Note-to-Node

Start with freeform notes or structured outlines — Tectonian transforms them into connected node trees. Write naturally, organize visually.

Focus Mode

Hide locked nodes, collapse distant branches, and zero in on what matters right now. Built for deep work and easily overwhelmed minds.

Also includes: cloud sync, multiple workspaces, smart filters tags, keyboard shortcuts, custom themes, lateral connections, and more.
