## What it is
Minder is a mind-mapping desktop application built for elementary OS using Vala and GTK 4. It supports visual mind-map creation with automatic layouts, Markdown formatting, notes, tasks, images, and extensive import/export formats including OPML, FreeMind, XMind, Mermaid, and PDF.

## Use cases
- create mind maps to brainstorm ideas
- visualize project structure as a tree diagram
- import FreeMind or XMind mind maps
- export mind maps to PDF or PNG
- outline notes in Markdown and turn them into a mind map
- organize tasks and notes visually on Linux

## When to choose
- you use elementary OS or another Linux desktop and want a native GTK mind-mapping app
- you need broad import/export interoperability with other mind-mapping tools
- you want keyboard-driven mind mapping with automatic layout and theming

## When to avoid
- you need collaborative or cloud-synced mind mapping
- you are on Windows or macOS without a Linux environment
- you need a web-based mind-mapping tool
