MindLM turns long content into mind maps you can read in a minute. Each tool below is built for one kind of source: YouTube videos are summarized from their captions, podcasts from each episode’s show notes, and audio recordings from a fresh transcript; PDFs, Word files, eBooks, and research papers keep the author’s chapter structure; webpages are stripped of clutter before mapping; and Twitter threads are regrouped by idea. Every result opens in the same editor, where you can collapse branches, rename nodes, and export to PNG or Markdown (plus SVG on Pro and Max). Text, documents, eBooks, and webpages work on the Free plan; video, audio, podcasts, and threads need Pro or Max.
Summarize lectures, keynotes, and tutorials from their captions instead of rewatching them. Before anything runs you see the video’s length and the credit cost, and an hour-long talk comes back as one navigable outline. Available on Pro and Max.
Convert a YouTube video to a mind mapSearch a show by name, pick one episode, and MindLM maps it from the episode’s show notes, so there is no transcription wait. Works best for shows that publish detailed notes. Available on Pro and Max.
Turn a podcast into a mind mapUpload a lecture, interview, voice memo, or meeting recording and MindLM transcribes the speech before mapping it by topic. Files up to 20 MB in MP3, M4A, WAV, and seven other formats. Available on Pro and Max.
Turn an audio recording into a mind mapDrop in an article or documentation URL and MindLM strips navigation, ads, and comments before mapping the body text. Useful for long reads you want to skim before committing an hour to them.
Turn a webpage into a mind mapUpload a text-based PDF up to 10 MB and get its chapter structure back as a tree rather than a flat list of bullets. The Free plan reads up to 100,000 characters per file; Pro and Max raise that to 300,000 and 600,000.
Summarize a PDF into a mind mapBuilt for arXiv preprints and journal articles: abstract, methods, results, and limitations stay in the order the authors wrote them. Use it to triage a reading list or to start literature-review notes.
Convert a research paper to a mind mapUpload a Word file, plain text, Markdown, subtitle file, or an EPUB book and get one editable outline back. Free reads up to 100,000 characters per file, enough for a long report; Max reads up to 600,000, roughly a full-length nonfiction book.
Summarize a document or eBook into a mind mapPaste a thread URL and the posts are regrouped by idea instead of by posting order, so a long thread reads like an outline. Available on Pro and Max.
Convert a Twitter thread to a mind mapA text summarizer that keeps the structure: paste meeting notes, a draft, or a chat transcript and get it organized by topic. It is the quickest way in: nothing to upload, and you get three free tries without creating an account.
