Say one sentence.Get a diagram in 5s.
The AI runs on your iPhone. No AI server, no account — not “we promise not to look”, but the AI step never leaves your device.
Exporting happens on this device. No file passes through a server.
One sentence, one diagram. Nothing left the phone.
Only that branch changed — every other line stayed put.
Presentation mode: the whole map first, then one branch at a time. Mirroring is the system’s job.
What it does
Drawing it isn’t the end.
Keep talking and it changes.
Generating got commoditised by chat assistants. “Add one more under marketing” — it knows which branch you mean, changes only that one, and never redraws the whole diagram.
Edit by saying so
Shake to undo. Every change is previewed first — it only lands once you say yes.
Five structures, picked for you
Ask for a mind map and get one; describe an approval rule and get a flowchart. Wrong guess? One tap to switch.
Seven exports, all done on device
PNG, PDF, SVG, Mermaid, XMind, OPML, Markdown. No file passes through a server.
When it helps
You already know how to
say these things.
That is the whole input. No canvas to face, no shapes to pick, no idea where the first box goes — you say the thing you were already thinking, and there is a diagram to argue with. These twelve are the examples shipped inside the app.
Work
- Break next quarter’s goals into things I can actually do
- Map out everything a new hire needs in their first week
- When a complaint comes in, front line answers it if they can, otherwise it goes to engineering, and after three days with no fix it escalates to a manager
Study
- Lay out how HTTP caching works
- Turn this term’s revision plan into week-by-week tasks
- Sketch the structure of my paper before I start writing
Life
- What I need to sort out to move house on my own
- Plan a two-day weekend trip and work out what comes first
- Everything I have to think about for this renovation
Think it through
- Should I take this job — lay out everything worth weighing
- Work out why this project slipped
- Buy or rent — put the trade-offs side by side
Tap one in the app and it fills the box — you can still edit it before drawing.
Why you can trust it
What you write
never goes to an AI server.
The AI runs on your chip
It uses Apple Intelligence’s on-device model. Draw in airplane mode — it works exactly the same.
No servers, so no breach to have
We have never had a machine that stores your diagrams. Not a promise — there is no such component. Sync goes through your own iCloud, which we can’t see.
No sign-up, no email
Install and start. Delete the app and your work goes with it.
Compared with XMind
- Unlimited AI — and no “AI credits” to buy
- No account, no sign-in
- Opens .xmind files — notes and relationship lines come too
- PDF and SVG export without a watermark (after the one-off purchase)
- Presentation mode needs no server — mirroring is the system’s job
Pricing
Drawing, editing and AI are unlimited.
The purchase is about the copy you hand over.
Free
- Unlimited AI drawing and AI editing
- Five structures, five styles
- Export PNG, PDF, Markdown, OPML, Mermaid
- Notes, relationship lines, focus mode, presentation mode
Pro
- Export without a watermark
- All 12 styles
- SVG export — keep editing in Figma
- Two-way XMind files (notes and relationship lines included)
Will the free tier stop working on me?
No. Drawing, editing and AI are all unlimited. We don’t sell “AI credits”, because the AI runs on your phone — one more run costs us nothing.
Is the purchase permanent? Does it survive a new phone?
Permanent. On a new device, use the same Apple Account and tap Restore Purchases in Settings.
Can I bring my XMind files over?
Yes. .xmind, OPML and Markdown outlines open directly; notes and relationship lines come with them, and nothing is dropped silently.
Does it work without Apple Intelligence?
Yes. KiteMind runs on iOS 18 and later; AI drawing needs iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence. Without the on-device model it falls back to rule-based parsing — indented outlines, numbered lists and arrow notation all work. Rougher results, but the app always opens.
