# Coggle

> Collaborative mind maps and flowcharts in the browser

Coggle is a browser-based tool for collaborative mind maps and flowcharts from CoggleIt Limited, based in Cambridge, England. Diagrams branch out from one or more central topics, several people can edit at once, and every change is kept in a history that a copy can be made from. The free plan allows three private diagrams and unlimited public ones, and the Awesome plan removes the private limit and adds more shapes and line controls.

## Key features

- **Branching mind maps:** Maps grow from one or several central items, branches can be joined into loops, and layout can be auto-arranged. Floating text and images annotate a map outside the tree.
- **Real-time collaboration:** Invite people by email to edit a diagram at the same time, with changes appearing instantly. Awesome adds editing through a secret link with no login needed.
- **Full change history:** Every change to a diagram is saved. You can look through the history and make a copy from any point to go back to an earlier version.
- **Flowcharts:** Shapes and connected items for flowcharts and process maps are free. More shapes and control over connection paths and line styles need Awesome.
- **Images, icons and Markdown:** Drag in images with no upload limit, pick from over 1,600 icons, and format item text with Markdown. Calculations can be added to diagrams.
- **Import, export and embedding:** Download a diagram as a PDF or image, export it as .mm, text or a Microsoft Visio file, import .mm and text files, and embed a mind map in another page.

## Good for

- Students and teams making quick collaborative mind maps
- Simple flowcharts and process maps alongside mind maps
- Occasional users who are fine with public diagrams on the free plan
- Companies that need SAML sign-on or an on-premise instance

## Worth knowing

- The free plan allows only 3 private diagrams; other diagrams made on it are public.
- More item shapes, line style and path controls, file attachments and high-res image uploads need the Awesome plan.
- No native desktop or mobile apps are listed; on a phone Coggle is saved to the home screen as a progressive web app.
- The homepage lists only monthly prices, and on-premise instances are arranged through Coggle for Enterprise without a public price.
