Ayoa Discover our new Mind Mapping tool, Ayoa

Good news! Organic Mind Mapping is now available in Ayoa. Following principles from the traditional Mind Map and our years of experience in the Mind Mapping industry, Organic Mind Mapping in Ayoa uses curved branches to support your natural thinking processes and aid your creativity.

Why pick a name with a definition, when you can make one up and give it meaning? That was our thinking with ‘Ayoa’ – it’s a name that can grow to mean more as our software does the same. Trust us when we say, there are many exciting things to come.

If you purchased iMindMap 11, please rest assured that you are still able to use this and iMindMap 11 will be supported for the foreseeable future. iMindMap 11 and Ayoa are completely separate products so the launch of Ayoa has not affected your iMindMap 11 license. To view the iMindMap 11 Support Guides, please click here.

Whilst Ayoa doesn’t have every Mind Mapping view that existed in iMindMap, it also has a lot of views and functionality that did not exist (and simply weren’t possible to implement) in iMindMap. With Ayoa, you can collaborate in real-time and access your Mind Maps anywhere in the world on any device connected to the internet, making it fast and agile for quick thought capture.

We also have lots of new features coming soon (including some favorites from iMindMap). Please see our roadmap here for more details.

We do offer a basic free plan of Ayoa, which you can use free of charge. However, the features on the Basic plan are limited. For access to Ayoa’s full features and the ability to make unlimited Boards, you will need to subscribe to our Advanced plan. More information can be found on our Pricing page here.

Unlike iMindmap, Ayoa is a Software as a Service (SaaS) product. Here at OpenGenius, we’re always moving forward – the single biggest benefit of using a SaaS model is we can easily provide continual updates and improvements to our users. Under a perpetual license product, we went through 11 versions of iMindMap – that’s a lot. Now, enhancements can be made instantly accessible to our user base.

The modern world is moving increasingly towards subscription-based products – even the entertainment industry has funneled into a new realm of streaming services; this is because it improves overall user experience and better facilitates growth. Ayoa is web-based which means it is accessible anywhere, from any internet connected device. Work is always safe (even if your laptop dies!) and collaboration is easy. We’re an innovation company, and ultimately we have to move with the times to keep providing our customers with the best software possible.

You can share your Mind Maps with anyone and everyone. Simply invite an email address to your Mind Map and they will receive an email invitation. Depending on the permissions you’ve granted them, they’ll be able to view, edit, comment and add branches to your Mind Map. You can also export your Mind Map as a PDF to share with others.

Yes! By downloading our desktop apps (for Windows and Mac), you’re able to edit your work without an internet connection. Just make sure to connect to the internet at regular intervals to sync your data; you’re only able to permanently save your data by connecting to the internet.

Great news! You can import all of your existing Maps from iMindMap into Ayoa. You can do this by navigating to ‘All boards’, ‘+ New’ and then ‘Import’. You also have the option to import files from iMindMap Cloud. You can do this by logging into your Cloud account via Ayoa and then import your Mind Maps from iMindMap Cloud into Ayoa. Please visit our support guide for more information on how to do this.

Ayoa seamlessly syncs all of your work across the devices that you’re using. If you’ve created a Mind Map or Task Board on your computer and want to access it on your phone, simply open the Ayoa app on your mobile device and ta-dah, your work will appear ready for you to edit.
