About

Mind mapping software with a real document in every node. Local-first, free on this device, with optional cloud and on-premise for teams that need them.

Features

Problem
Mind-map nodes may not hold the full work.
How it works
Users can write a full document inside a node and read it as an article.
Result
Ideas can move from map to prose without maintaining a duplicate document.
Why
The node and document are part of the same tree rather than separate copies.
Problem
Different tasks call for different ways to view a hierarchy.
How it works
Users can switch between map, outline, and document views of the same nodes.
Result
Users can reorganize or read their work in the view that suits the task.
Why
Each view supports spatial thinking, listed navigation, or article reading while reflecting the same tree.
Problem
Work may need to stay private or be hosted on different infrastructure.
How it works
Maps can stay in the browser, be stored in Orinami's cloud, or be hosted on the user's own servers.
Result
Individuals and teams can choose where their maps are stored.
Why
The product offers local, cloud, and on-premise options.
Problem
Teams need to work together on shared maps.
How it works
Personal and Team plans include cloud maps and live collaboration; plans also offer invitations and guest viewer links.
Result
Collaborators can access and work with shared maps.
Why
Cloud collaboration lets people work on maps together.
Problem
Some users want external tools to work with their maps.
How it works
Personal, Team, and on-premise plans provide MCP access for Cursor, Claude, and other MCP clients.
Result
Supported MCP clients can read and edit maps accessible to the account.
Why
The site describes API-key access to maps through an MCP endpoint.
