About Xmind
Xmind is a mind-mapping and brainstorming app with AI that builds maps from text, links or photos of notes. Apple named it in its October 22 roundup of popular local apps from China: it “brings mind maps and outlines together in a side-by-side view, letting users explore the big picture while working through the details.” Its co-founder Mango Du had already shown it to Tim Cook on the new iPhone Duo, in photos of a mind map filling the open phone with an outline down the left side. The release notes for 26.05.01106 describe the Duo update: Foldable mode puts the Outliner and Mind Map side by side, and multi-window support brings different documents into view.
