Brancho
Authentic mind mapping beyond boxes and straight lines
Brancho is a native mind mapping app for iPad and Mac. Instead of rigid boxes and straight lines, ideas grow from a central image through organic curved branches, colors, keywords, and images.

Available in English and Japanese.
Hi Product Hunt,
I’m the developer of Brancho, a native mind mapping app for iPad and Mac.
I created Brancho because many digital mind mapping apps feel more like hierarchical diagrams: boxes connected by rigid straight lines. I wanted an app that preserves the visual and organic nature of mind mapping, where ideas grow outward from a central image through curved branches, colors, keywords, images, and space.
With Brancho, you can:
- Adjust the color, length, direction, thickness, curve, and spacing of each branch
- Create and move through branches quickly using the keyboard
- Add long-form details using movable sticky notes
- Review, restore, duplicate, and replay the visual editing history
- Save each map as a self-contained .brancho file
- Store files locally or in iCloud Drive
Brancho is available in English and Japanese.
This is the first public release, and I would especially appreciate feedback on the branch editing experience, the visual design, and how you might use Brancho for planning, learning, brainstorming, or creative work.
Thank you for taking a look.
