## Key features

- **Several mind map styles:** Maps can be drawn freehand or with auto-layout, in sketch or organic styles with adjustable curved branches. Radial maps and quick capture maps are also offered.
- **Whiteboards:** A freeform board takes sticky notes, images, flowcharts, links and videos, starting blank or from a template. On the free version whiteboards are view-only.
- **Task boards and Gantt timeline:** Tasks live on a kanban-style workflow board or a bubble canvas, with due dates, reminders and assignees. The Gantt timeline adds start dates, milestones and progress.
- **AI mind mapping:** AI generates ideas on a topic and can build out a mind map or whiteboard. It needs Ayoa Ultimate, and the vendor says user content is not shared to train AI models.
- **Outline and document view:** The branches of a map can be reordered as a linear outline and written up as longer text with images, which can then be exported as a Word document.
- **Collaboration and chat:** People invited to a map or task board can work on it at the same time. Direct messages and group chats are built in, and comments can be dragged onto maps.

## Good for

- Visual thinkers who want mind maps and tasks in one app
- People with ADHD, dyslexia or autism who want adjustable visual layouts
- Former iMindMap users, whose maps can be imported

- The vendor describes Ayoa as a cloud-based app and advises working offline only for short periods.
