Powerful Mind-Mapping, Made Simple

Everything you need to get your ideas down, fast.

Intuitive Editing

Quickly add, edit, and delete nodes with a clean, minimal interface. Long-press or click for actions.

Collapsible Branches

Effortlessly expand and collapse entire branches to focus on what matters and manage complexity.

Flexible Layouts

Instantly switch between vertical and horizontal tree layouts to visualize your map in the way that works best for you.

Infinite Canvas

A fluid, pannable, and zoomable canvas that grows with your ideas. Never run out of space.

Private & Portable

Files are saved locally. Use any cloud-synced folder (Google Drive, Dropbox) to work across devices.

Export Options

Easily export your mind maps to a structured Markdown file, ready for any note-taking app or text editor. Or to a mind-mapping tool like Freemind.

Your AI Co-Pilot, Not an Autopilot

We believe AI should be a scalpel, not a sledgehammer. Moose Antler gives you just enough AI to fuel your brainstorming, not replace it. Click the ✨ icon on any idea to access surgical actions.

  • Expand Idea: Generate related concepts to explore new avenues.
  • Suggest Analogies: Discover new ways to think about your topic.
  • Play Devil's Advocate: Uncover weaknesses and strengthen your arguments.
  • Summarize Branch: Condense a complex branch into a clear summary.

Go beyond text. Add images to your nodes to create vibrant, visual mood boards, story maps, and project plans.

A Versatile Tool for Any Project

Moose Antler is for anyone who starts a project with an idea. Here's how people are using it.

For Students & Researchers

Plan essays and research papers with unparalleled clarity. Use "Play Devil's Advocate" to find counterarguments and "Summarize Branch" to condense research.

For Creative Professionals

Outline a novel, design a user-flow, or build a world. Attach character sketches or mockups to nodes and use "Suggest Analogies" to break creative blocks.

For Productivity Enthusiasts

Map out a new business venture or plan a software project. Use "Expand Idea" to flesh out project phases and then export the entire plan to Markdown to share.
