Why mapping
Lists flatten thinking. Maps keep the shape of it.
A bulleted document forces you to decide the order before you understand the structure. A map lets structure emerge, then hands you the order for free.
Capture at the speed of talking
Type, Tab, type. New topics land in the right place automatically, so a live discussion never outruns the note-taker.
Everyone edits at once
No turn-taking, no merge conflicts. Live cursors show who is thinking about what, right now.
One artefact, not four
The map is the notes, the plan and the deck. Present it, export it, or hand someone the link.
The editor
Depth where it matters
The canvas gets the majority of our attention, because that is where you spend your time.
An editor that keeps up
Infinite canvas, momentum panning, pointer-anchored zoom and layout that re-flows as you type. No waiting, no jitter.
Built for the keyboard
Tab for a subtopic, Enter for a sibling, arrows to move around. A full shortcut system, so your hands never leave home row.
Seven auto-layouts
Balanced, left, right, tree, org chart, list or free-form. Switch at any time and every branch animates into place.
Twelve themes, or your own
Palettes that keep depth readable at a glance. Override any node individually — the theme never fights your choices.
Relationships, not just branches
Draw labelled connections between any two topics to show dependency, tension or cause. They stay attached as you rearrange.
Focus and find
Collapse noise, focus a single branch, or press ⌘F to search topics and notes and fly straight to a match.
AI mapping
A first draft in seconds, not an hour
Describe a topic, or upload a brief, a transcript or a PDF. Untangling returns a structured, fully editable map — not an image, not a wall of text.
- Generate a whole map from one sentence
- Turn a PDF, DOCX, Markdown or text file into structure
- Expand, summarise or rewrite any single branch
- Everything stays editable — AI output is just topics
Collaboration
Real multiplayer, not a shared file
Untangling uses conflict-free replicated data types, so simultaneous edits merge instead of overwriting. Two people can type in the same topic and both keep their words.
Live cursors
See who is where, with a stable colour per person.
Threaded comments
Discuss a topic, mention someone, resolve when done.
Real permissions
Viewer, commenter, editor — enforced on the server.
Version history
Preview any earlier version and restore it safely.
Use cases
Wherever thinking gets tangled
Different work, same problem: too many ideas, not enough shape.
Product planning
Turn a messy kickoff into a roadmap with owners, risks and open questions everyone can see.
Workshops
Run divergent and convergent rounds on one canvas. Everyone contributes at once, nobody waits for the pen.
Study and teaching
Break a chapter into concepts, examples and the questions you still have — then revise from the shape.
Strategy
Make the trade-offs explicit. Where to play, how to win, and what has to be true for it to work.
Templates
Start from something, not nothing
55 original templates with real prompts inside them, not empty placeholder boxes.
Idea storm
A structured brainstorm that separates raw ideas from the ones worth building, so a fast session still ends with a decision.
Preview PlanningProject plan
Scope, milestones, risks and owners on one canvas — the view a project needs before anything lands in a task tracker.
Preview MeetingsMeeting notes
Capture a discussion as it happens: context, threads, decisions and actions, without losing the shape of the conversation.
Preview StrategySWOT analysis
The classic four-quadrant scan, extended with the question most SWOTs skip: what are we actually going to do about it?
Preview EducationStudy notes
Turn a chapter or lecture into a map you can actually revise from — concepts, definitions, examples and the questions you still have.
Preview MeetingsProject retrospective
A blame-free look back that produces changes, not just feelings. Structured so quiet team members get heard.
PreviewPresentation
Present the map, not a copy of it
Hit Present and the interface disappears. Untangling walks the map branch by branch with smooth pan and zoom, or follows the frames you set yourself.

What people say
From teams that map out loud
“Our planning sessions used to end with a whiteboard photo nobody opened again. Now the map is the artefact, and it keeps changing all quarter.”
“I generate a first draft with AI, delete half of it, and argue about the rest with my team. Getting to the argument faster is the whole point.”
“Thirty students editing one map during a seminar, and it never stuttered. The outline view is what sold my department.”

Your maps stay yours
Private by default. Every permission check runs on the server, sessions are opaque and stored hashed, uploads are validated and served with a restrictive content policy, and we never train models on your content.
