About Xmind
Xmind is a mind mapping application for organizing ideas, brainstorming, and planning projects. The homepage lists it as available on web, desktop, and mobile, and it offers templates and several map structures, including mind maps, timelines, matrices, and Zones.
The homepage describes AI features for generating maps, editing them, and breaking work into tasks. It also includes an enhanced Gantt chart that uses working days and can be exported or printed. Real-time collaboration and shared team spaces are described, and the directory lists collaboration and export as paid options. Pricing is freemium. The homepage does not specify which features are included in each plan, and it does not describe the AI or AWS sync features in enough detail to confirm how they work.
