4 Tools for Brainstorming and Mind-Mapping that Integrate with Notion
One of the many Notion superpowers is to be able to seamlessly integrate with other great software.
Today I’ll show you four different mind-mapping tools that have a generous free plan, run directly on the browser, and are super easy to integrate into your Notion pages.
1. Coggle
Coggle is an easy-to-use and free mind-mapping tool. It allows real-time collaboration among different team members and the resulting charts can be directly embedded into Notion.
It allows for different customization options such as colors, and shapes and it includes a library with pictures and icons ready to use.
2. FigJam
FigJam is a Figma tool. It’s super easy to use and offers LOTS of customization options. You can include shapes, colors, icons, post-its, images, and anything you can imagine. It offers a collaborative workspace to work as a team and comes with some ads-on as this little widget with a timer, ambient sound, and a voting system.
3. Miro
Miro is another great tool for creating your flowcharts and mind-maps, among other features. It comes packaged with lots of beautiful and useful templates for a quick start and allows easy sharing and real-time collaboration.
Offers lots of customization options and it definitely should be among your selected tools for mind-mapping or schematizing, whether you are working alone or in a team.
4. Whimsical
Whimsical is my favorite (🤫). You can create beautiful flowcharts with everything you need really quickly. It is just super easy to use and while it offers lots of customization options, you don’t get lost and find them in one click. I choose Whimsical 80% of the time, as it’s perfect when I want to build something functional, but not super complex. Their embeds on Notion also look perfect.
