MindNode Returns to Your Wrist – MindNode 2026.1
Our first update of the year brings MindNode back to Apple Watch, along with improvements to folding, notes, and document management.
MindNode on Apple Watch
MindNode is returning to Apple Watch. Like in MindNode Classic, you can view your recent documents directly on your wrist as an outline and quickly glance at all open tasks in a document.
And this is only the beginning. The new Apple Watch app lets you complete tasks right on your wrist, edit node titles, append notes, change the hierarchy, and even delete nodes. You can also create a brand-new document directly on Apple Watch.
Using editing in MindNode for Apple Watch requires the paired iPhone to be nearby. A truly standalone version is something we may explore in the future.
Folding That Works the Way You Think
Working with large documents just got more fluid. We’ve added new actions and keyboard shortcuts for unfolding nodes, including options like “Show 3 Levels.” This makes it easier to explore complex structures without losing context — perfect for presentations, reviews, or deep dives into big ideas.
Search & Replace in Notes
You can now search within notes and replace text across your document, making it easier to refine language, update terminology, or clean up after a brainstorming session.
Other Notable Changes
- Transparent Node Colors: Nodes can now be filled with non-opaque and transparent colors.
- Flexible Layout: Move nodes on the canvas using keyboard shortcuts.
- Document Management: New document rename interface with smart suggestions in the document browser.
- More Fonts: Missing fonts are automatically downloaded when available.
MindNode 2026.1 is now available on the App Store and Setapp. A complete list of all changes are available in our release notes.
