Site: https://mindmax.me/ Download: https://mindmax.me/download/ Pricing: https://mindmax.me/pricing/ Docs: https://mindmax.me/docs/intro/ Blog: https://mindmax.me/blog/ Changelog: https://mindmax.me/blog/tags/changelog/ Short index of this file: https://mindmax.me/llms.txt ## Core concepts - [Checked quotes](https://mindmax.me/concepts/checked-quotes/): every AI conclusion carries verbatim quotes, mechanically checked against the source text; a quote that does not hold up is never presented as one — an AI annotation is sent back, and a chat answer flags it at the end. - [Full-text-first answering](https://mindmax.me/concepts/full-text-first/): a document that fits within a stated attention budget — roughly 40,000 Chinese characters or 25,000 English words — goes into context whole, so nothing is retrieved and nothing is missed; larger material is navigated by its own chapter structure and read section by section on demand, rather than chunked and retrieved by similarity. No embedding pass runs and there is no indexing wait before you can ask a question. - [Edits wait for you](https://mindmax.me/concepts/edits-wait-for-you/): the AI may add to your folder but may not replace what you wrote on its own. A change to existing text — a rewrite at the cursor, edits asked for in chat, a revision from your comments, read-through fixes to text that was already yours — comes back marked in place, grouped with reasons, and is written only when you accept it. New material — a new note, a translation saved as a new file, a quick note merged into today's note, a canvas branch saved as a note, a section written under its plan card — is written directly. Every file the AI writes to keeps its own history, with the AI's versions marked and restorable. AI annotations are kept in MindMax's own data, not written into the PDF or book. ## Glossary Index: https://mindmax.me/glossary/ — industry terms, each with a neutral definition, where the idea stops working, and how MindMax handles it. - [Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)](https://mindmax.me/glossary/rag/): answering from retrieved passages; strong on lookups, unreliable on evidence spread across a book, on absences and on disagreements, and its misses are invisible. - [Vectorless RAG](https://mindmax.me/glossary/vectorless-rag/): RAG without an embedding index — the model reads the structure (contents, headings, a gist per file) and decides what to open, instead of a similarity score deciding. Keeps structure and exact terms and can list what it read; costs more model calls and time. MindMax is vectorless: documents that fit are read whole, books by chapter map, folders from per-file gists; candidate passages are found by their words, and choosing what to open is the model's reasoning. - [Semantic search](https://mindmax.me/glossary/semantic-search/): ranking by meaning via embeddings; finds paraphrases, blurs exact terms, and needs an index. MindMax has no vector database: word-based ranking plus an AI re-pick by meaning. - [Grounding](https://mindmax.me/glossary/grounding/): tying output to sources; only sentence-level grounding, one click away, is cheaper to check than re-reading. - [Hallucination](https://mindmax.me/glossary/hallucination/): fluent text supported by nothing; three shapes with documents — invented quote, real quote with the wrong conclusion, answer from a passage never read. - [OCR](https://mindmax.me/glossary/ocr/): turning page images into text; quality must be reported per page, because a mostly-right page is the dangerous one. - [Mind map](https://mindmax.me/glossary/mind-map/): a radial layout of a topic; it can only hold what you already thought of unless something fills the branches. - [Mental model](https://mindmax.me/glossary/mental-model/): a reusable reasoning procedure; the gap is recalling one in the moment and running it on specifics, not knowing the list. - [Agent skills (SKILL.md)](https://mindmax.me/glossary/agent-skills/): a method written as a file with a name and a one-line "when to use"; instructions, not new abilities. MindMax reads SKILL.md text only — scripts in a skill folder are not run. - [Track changes](https://mindmax.me/glossary/track-changes/): insertions and deletions shown on the text itself; AI edits need it more than human ones because they are fluent, numerous and drop citations quietly. - [Knowledge base](https://mindmax.me/glossary/knowledge-base/): material kept to answer questions later; personal ones stall at filing. MindMax opens an existing folder with no building step. - [Local-first](https://mindmax.me/glossary/local-first/): data as ordinary files you own; about ownership, not privacy. Tests: no export needed, no import step, nothing changes when you stop paying. ## Features - [MindMax Agent — an assistant that works inside your documents](https://mindmax.me/features/agent/): it helps you read, write and revise, at two speeds. Read: ask about a passage, a boxed chart or the whole folder, or hand it a paper or book with a purpose (guide, review, critique or study) and it annotates chapter by chapter and writes up what it found. Write: have a section drafted at the cursor, or have a whole piece planned and drafted from your own documents in the document itself, up to book length. Revise: have a sentence rewritten as a tracked change, or say what should change or leave comments and get the whole document back as grouped tracked changes, each naming the comment it answers. It also runs the long jobs: three hundred pages translated in one run, a scanned file recognised page by page. It works in the main area, in the panel beside a document, or inside the editor. Documents, folders and skills are mentioned with @. It works from your own folder first and can look things up online for what is not in there, listing the pages it actually cited; it also re-checks an answer in the background when the answer rests on a figure that dates, and appends a correction if it has. Telling it to stay inside one book or folder is obeyed and reported. It does the work without asking and does not choose the direction without asking: the outline comes before the draft, the glossary before the translation, and rewrites arrive as grouped tracked changes, saved only when accepted. Progress arrives as each part finishes, stopping is a pause rather than a cancel, and the output is a file in your folder. Jobs run on your own machine, so closing the app stops them; nothing starts by itself. - [A local AI knowledge base, from the folder you already have](https://mindmax.me/features/local-knowledge-base/): the assistant lives in your existing folder, so you can ask across all of it and hand it jobs whose results land back in the folder as files, which the next question can draw on. An existing Obsidian vault opens in place with no import; you can keep any file or folder away from the AI, chats are never cited back as sources, and each answer lists only the files it actually read or quoted; every AI edit is recoverable; what the app remembers about you is plain text you can edit. Trade-offs: PDFs and books are read in the background on first open, scanned PDFs need recognising first, and the passages read are sent to the model you choose unless it runs locally. - [AI skills — write a method down once, use it everywhere](https://mindmax.me/features/skills/): a skill is one page of plain text saying how a recurring job should be done — called with / or picked from its one-line "when to use this" when the job fits. The same file runs in chat (several turns, reading and searching your documents), on a canvas card (branches in the shape the method calls for) or on a selection in the editor (returned as a tracked change); skills that need several turns or need to search are greyed out for the canvas and the editor, with the reason. You do not have to write any: the canvas has 44 built-in skills, chat and the editor have their own, and built-ins can be copied and edited or hidden. Type /new-skill to have one drafted from a description, saved only once you approve. A skill is a Markdown file in your folder — putting it there is the install, sharing is sending the file, and importing shows the full text first. A SKILL.md from another agent tool drops in as a chat skill; only its text is read, bundled scripts are not run. Skills are instructions, not new abilities. - [Bring your own API key](https://mindmax.me/features/bring-your-own-key/): every AI feature works on your own key with no account and no weekly allowance, each tier pointed at a model you chose, including a local one. Each tier can point at your key or the subscription, so the two mix. The subscription is a convenience, not the thing that unlocks the app. - [AI PDF reader](https://mindmax.me/features/pdf-reader/): the AI reads the whole paper before answering (full text in context when it fits; long documents navigated by a table of contents, built even for PDFs without bookmarks), and each answer lists what it read; verbatim quotes checked against the text, carrying their page and opening it with the sentence highlighted; AI annotation lenses (guide, review, critique, study) leave notes on the printed page, stored in the folder's hidden .mindmax directory; read as the printed page or as one clean reflowed column with page markers; select to ask or explain, box a figure or turn a table into Markdown, translate and read side by side. Not a PDF editor (no form filling, signing, merging). A scanned PDF is flagged as one when it opens. Word, PowerPoint, Excel and plain text files open in place too. - [AI ebook reader for EPUB and Kindle](https://mindmax.me/features/epub-reader/): the AI finds its way through the whole book by a chapter map built from its own contents page and reads the relevant chapters in full rather than retrieving fragments; answers quote the passage and open on it; pick a reading lens (guide, review, critique, study) and it works through the whole book chapter by chapter, leaving notes in the margin and ending with a closing write-up; whole-book translation read side by side with the original; reflowable text and highlights anchored to the passage. .mobi and .azw3 are converted once into EPUB and then behave the same. DRM-protected books cannot be opened; desktop only. - [Read a .pptx as slides, with an AI that explains and reviews each page](https://mindmax.me/features/slides-reading/): PowerPoint files open laid out the way they were built — shapes in place, tables still tables, dark pages still dark — with speaker notes part of the document text, annotations anchored per page, and quotes that cite the slide number. Optionally each page gets a card covering what the speaker would have said out loud, how the page follows the one before it and whether it can be skipped. The review lens marks unsupported claims, missing alternatives and unclear steps on the slides and ends with a memo (verdict, issues, what to keep, questions for the author). Animations and exact typography are not reproduced, and .ppt (pre-2007) is not supported. - [Ask AI about screenshots, charts and photographed pages](https://mindmax.me/features/images/): image files are documents — viewed in place or as a contact sheet for the folder, described once and shared between the viewer and the canvas so nothing is read twice, and answerable down to a region you drag a box around. A description enters the knowledge base labelled as a description of a picture, never as text quoted from a page. Pictures become ordinary Markdown notes beside them: table screenshots as real tables, charts as data plus a reading, formulas as LaTeX, slides and book pages as outlines, whiteboards and handwriting as structured notes — and a boxed region converts alone. PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF and BMP are readable; HEIC and TIFF are converted for display on macOS; SVG, AVIF and ICO can be viewed but not read. - [Turn scanned PDFs into text](https://mindmax.me/features/scanned-pdf-ocr/): recognition is started deliberately rather than silently, runs in batches, and reports per-page quality so bad pages are visible instead of surfacing later as strange quotes. - [AI annotation for whole documents](https://mindmax.me/features/annotations/): pick a lens — guide, critique or study, or start a review — and the AI works through a PDF, ebook, Word document, deck or note, leaving notes on the passages they are about. A pass opens with an assessment of which chapters are must-read, skimmable or safe to leave, and the chapter you are reading is annotated first. Guide marks what to slow down on and what to skim; a review writes to the author — flaws, unsupported claims, alternatives, unclear passages and strengths, each major or minor — and closes with a review memo; critique and study are training lenses that ask rather than conclude — you write your answer on the note and the closing audit report or study pack reads it back. Every note quotes its passage word for word, checked before it is shown. Annotation is sparse by design, and the write-up can be asked for at any point, against however many chapters are done. Notes worth keeping are adopted: edited into your own words and kept as your own comments. - [AI document review that hands back Word comments](https://mindmax.me/features/ai-document-review/): review a colleague's draft — a proposal, a manuscript, a thesis chapter. Before it starts you give a review focus in a line and/or pick a criteria document from your folder (reviewer guidelines, a checklist, a call for proposals); the focus decides where comments concentrate but a serious problem outside it is still raised. The AI reads the whole document and drafts comments to the author on the exact passages — flaws, unsupported claims, alternatives not ruled out, unclear passages, strengths — each marked major or minor, plus a review memo (overall assessment, major and minor issues, strengths, questions for the author). You adopt the comments you agree with, edited into your own words, add your own, and export " - reviewed.docx" beside the original: your comments as ordinary Word comments on the quoted words, signed with your name, optionally with the memo as an overall comment at the top and [Major]/[Minor]/[Strength] prefixes. The original file is not changed and its existing comments are kept; only what you adopted or wrote is exported. Export works from .docx, Markdown and plain text (PDFs, ebooks and PowerPoint can be reviewed but not exported); comments are not tracked-change rewrites; existing Word comments are not read; comments whose words cannot be placed reliably are listed with the reason. - [Box a chart, table or equation and ask AI about just that](https://mindmax.me/features/region-questions/): the same action in PDFs, EPUB and Kindle books, PowerPoint slides, images and your own notes — and what travels with the box is not just a picture. Four things go with it: the image, for layout and shapes; the verbatim text sitting underneath it, which is the authority on numbers, formulas and table values so the model does not read them off the picture; where it came from (file, page, chapter, slide), so the answer clicks back to the spot and the thumbnail reopens the document there; and the document itself, so a follow-up question has something to read. Where a region has no text layer — a scanned page, a pure graphic — the answer must say that a figure was read off the image and may be wrong. Asking is one option among several: when you release the box it freezes and offers ask, convert, copy or redraw. Converting turns the region into ordinary Markdown written beside the document it was cut from (chapter-seven.pdf becomes chapter-seven - table.md, picture kept in a folder next to it) — a table as a real Markdown table with rows, columns, numbers and units in the original order, a chart as its plotted data plus a short reading with axis estimates marked, an equation as LaTeX with its number kept, a dense page as a faithful outline, a diagram or handwriting as structured notes; the first menu item lets the model decide which of those the region is, and the text layer under the box is handed to the converter so the words come from the document rather than from reading pixels. Conversion only ever creates a new file. Copying the region as an image costs nothing. A region and the answer it produced can also be saved into the daily note in one step, with the picture copied into your folder so deleting the conversation does not break the note; a region can become an item on a canvas. Up to four regions can travel with one question. Asking about a region spends credits; reading and annotating your own files does not. - [Chat with your documents](https://mindmax.me/features/chat-with-documents/): ask PDFs, Word (.docx), PowerPoint, Excel, EPUB/Kindle, Markdown and text files questions; short documents are read whole rather than chunked, long ones are navigated by chapter structure, and a folder (up to 200 documents) can be the subject of one question — the documents it needs are picked by a one-line gist of each and read by their structure, and every claim names the document it came from. Every answer quotes the passage it rests on (the page for PDFs, the slide for decks, the place in the document for Word); quotes are aligned to the source wording and one that cannot be found is flagged in the answer, and each answer lists what it actually read. Word files are read as text with headings, not page layout; .doc and .xls are not read. - [Search inside every PDF, book and note in your folder](https://mindmax.me/features/search/): one search across the PDFs, EPUB and Kindle books, Office files and notes in a folder, with literal matches and relevance-ranked passages in two sections — the shape of the query decides which leads, and a result opens on the sentence in the source rather than naming the file. Relevant content is ranked by shared wording (no vector database); when a sentence-length query finds nothing clearly relevant, the AI re-picks by meaning on its own, and that re-pick is the only part that spends credits. Exact work gets match counts across files, quoted phrases, and operators (path:, file:, tag:, line:(), section:(), [key:value]; no OR or regex), plus saved searches. There is no indexing step: a new file is searchable on the next search; the cost is speed on very large folders and weaker recall on questions worded very differently from your files. - [Translate a whole book in one run](https://mindmax.me/features/document-translation/): started once, it translates the entire document against one agreed glossary, so chapter nine uses the terms chapter one settled on; checkpointed against interruption and read side by side with the original. - [Explore a topic and brainstorm on a canvas](https://mindmax.me/features/canvas/): an AI mind map — put a question, a claim, a document or a conversation in the middle and the branches come back filled in. Each branch is a card holding a short argument rather than a keyword, a hub card names the sharpest tension between the branches, and any single line of a card can be explained, questioned or grown into a card of its own, with a trail back to where it came from. Divergence is done by method (brainstorm along genuinely different dimensions, analogical transfer, counterfactual, SCAMPER, six thinking hats, morphological combination). A branch can be handed to the writing pipeline as a ready-made outline, saved as a note or exported as an image. The rest of your folder joins a board only when switched on. It is not a diagramming tool: the layout is automatic and stable, with no freehand drawing. - [Apply classic thinking models to a hard problem](https://mindmax.me/features/thinking-models/): 44 built-in AI Skills in six groups — diverge, dig deeper (decompose, causal chain, first principles, latticework of mental models), critique (red team, assumption audit, evidence strength, steelman, bias check, Socratic questioning), structure (book guide, concept map, timeline, SWOT, comparative analysis), converge (option matrix, trade-off analysis, prioritize, action plan) and learn (self-quiz, Feynman explanation, prerequisite check, Bloom's ladder) — plus ten more in an optional starter library (pre-mortem, Porter's five forces, business model canvas, stakeholder map, Fermi estimate and others). Each is carried out on your problem and the documents the card points at; comparisons come back as tables, SWOT as a four-way grid, causal chains and timelines in order. A model can be aimed at a single line of a card or run across several selected cards at once (three option cards become one option matrix); six image skills appear only on image cards. Models can be stacked on a single branch, and the ones used travel with the branch into a write-up, where you choose whether the methods are hidden, woven in or fully shown. - [Read a book or paper as a mind map](https://mindmax.me/features/mind-map-reading/): the canvas in the side panel belongs to the document you have open and follows you between documents; one document can have several. Book overview draws six cards beside any PDF or ebook — the question it answers, core claims, key concepts as the book uses them, how it is built (following its own section map), three routes for reading it, and where it is disputed — citing the text in your folder; from a title alone it invents no page numbers or quotations and says when it does not know the book. Select a passage and it becomes a centre card; Interpret, Concept map, Timeline and Consensus and disagreement lay material out; citation marks on cards show the quoted sentence in context and open the source. Images are cards too, and a photo of a hand-drawn mind map or whiteboard can be rebuilt into editable cards. - [AI quick notes](https://mindmax.me/features/ai-quick-notes/): an AI secretary for notes. Say or type a thought into a note's quick-note box (or send it from the voice capsule with Command-Enter) and the AI writes it down correctly and files it under the heading it belongs to in the note you have open (or today's daily note) — it does not choose a different note. Wording is always corrected (typos, misheard words, grammar, word order), even in a one-line note; form is tidied (filler and false starts removed, point first, to-dos become tasks); content is never added or dropped, and questions and hedges stay as they are. Corrections it is unsure of are listed old → new for the user to check. Results arrive as tracked changes to accept; parts of the note it does not file into are untouched. Plain edits to existing text (rename a heading, merge, move, split, delete, turn into a list) are carried out directly. Requests for new writing (summarise, translate, turn into an email) are kept as a task with a Run offer; Command-Enter in the box runs an instruction straight away on the selection or the part of the note it points at, previewed word by word. A Tidy whole note button, pressed only by the user, corrects and groups the whole note as revisions. Said to the assistant ("note this down", /note) a note is merged straight into today's daily note and can be rolled back from history. Not a reminder, calendar or meeting tool. - [Voice notes](https://mindmax.me/features/voice-notes/): a global shortcut (Option-Shift-Space, Alt+Shift+Space on Windows) opens a small capsule over any app; speak or just type. Recording stops for you to read and correct the text before anything is saved. Enter appends it as written, with the time, to today's daily note — no AI, and you stay in the app you were in. Command-Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows) brings MindMax forward and hands it to AI quick notes to file. Esc hides the capsule with the draft kept. Language is detected from speech. Not a meeting recorder: one recording stops at ten minutes. Desktop only (macOS, Windows). - [Markdown editor with an inline AI assistant](https://mindmax.me/features/markdown-editor/): linked plain-text notes with backlinks, editable tables, live math/diagram previews and version history; select any sentence and the AI's rewrite arrives as a tracked change you accept or reject. - [Every AI edit as a tracked change](https://mindmax.me/features/tracked-changes/): whatever the AI changes in your writing — a sentence at the cursor, a request in the conversation, a revision from your comments — comes back marked on your own text (deletions struck through, insertions highlighted) and is written only when you accept it. A cursor suggestion is one change you accept or reject whole; a whole-draft revision comes back in groups, each with its reason and, when it came from your comments, the comment it answers. Footnotes, citations or links an edit would drop are flagged before you accept. Not a regenerated copy you have to compare line by line and take or leave whole. Applied changes go into the document history. The same review covers a Word file the AI is asked to revise; there the accepted edits are written into the .docx as Word tracked changes. Exporting a Markdown document to Word, by contrast, carries only the accepted text, without revision marks. - [Whole-document revision](https://mindmax.me/features/ai-revisions/): one round of revising a long draft — point at what is wrong with comments on the passages, or describe the change once in the agent conversation (@ the file, or /rewrite); MindMax reads the whole document and returns the edits as tracked changes in groups, each with a title and reason and naming the comment it answers. Accept or reject group by group; accepted comments are marked done, rejected ones stay open for the next round. A request in the conversation also works on a Word file or a PDF (see the next entry); revising from comments is for Markdown documents; ebooks and slides are annotated, not edited. - [AI edits for Word documents, as real tracked changes](https://mindmax.me/features/edit-word-documents/): @ a .docx in the agent conversation and describe the change once; the edits come back in groups, each with a title and a reason, for review in MindMax, and the accepted ones are written into the same .docx — by default as Word tracked changes signed with the user's name (set in Settings, or the account or system user name), or as a direct edit if that option is unticked. Only the text of changed paragraphs is rewritten: paragraph styles, fonts, heading styles, list numbering, header and footer, images, fields (page numbers, table of contents, cross-references), comments and bookmarks are carried over as they are. Before writing, the edited file is re-read and checked against the accepted edits; if the check fails, or the file is open in Word, or it changed after the edits were suggested, nothing is written. The previous version is kept in the file's history. Edits it cannot make safely (inside fields or content controls, adding or removing table columns, new text in merged cells) are skipped and listed. Existing tracked changes are shown with a count and their authors, with Accept all / Reject all / Open in Word, and accepting them first is suggested before a new revision. Not revised: headers, footers, footnotes, text boxes; Word comments are kept but not read as instructions; revising from comments is not available for Word files; .docx only (not .doc); display in WPS, Pages or Google Docs not checked. A PDF is never changed itself: its edits go into a Markdown file with the same name next to it, created only when the user applies, and that copy can be exported to PDF or Word in MindMax's own layout (columns, fonts and page design are not kept). Long or scanned PDFs get a notice before the revision starts; a scan needs its text recognised first. - [Request review](https://mindmax.me/features/request-review/): get comments on a draft from people who do not use MindMax. From a Markdown document, Request review uploads a read-only copy and copies a link; reviewers open it in any browser (phone included) with no account or install, select text and leave a comment, question, suggested rewrite, fact to check or missing source. Comments come back into the document's comments panel on their passages, tagged with the reviewer's name, and can be revised from like your own (each group of edits names the comment it answers). Replies and decisions (applied, declined with a reason, resolved) show on the review page; a new round goes to the same link, with a See changes view. Links stay open 7, 14 or 30 days; ending a review deletes the copy and comments 30 days later, withdrawing deletes them immediately. Needs a free account; one open review on the free plan, ten on paid plans. The one feature that stores a document copy on MindMax servers. - [AI writing from your own sources](https://mindmax.me/features/ai-writing/): writing happens in an ordinary Markdown document. A writing brief at the top (task, the one thing the reader should agree with, reader, voice, stance, materials, a Sources line for web or papers, length) and a plan card under each heading (point, approach, evidence named down to the first sentence of the passage, length) are the plan — every line editable, and what they say is what gets written. Short pieces are planned and written straight through; papers, theses and books stop at the plan. Sections are written in order, each reading everything above it, with introductions and conclusions last; only the section being written is locked. Where only the author has a fact, a card asks for it at that spot (answer, @ a file, write around it with no invented specifics, or write it yourself); public facts not found are marked [To verify]. Footnotes quote the passage relied on and collect in a Notes section; outside sources only fill gaps, and an abstract-only paper supports only what the abstract says. When it finishes it reads the whole piece through once: sections it just wrote and you have not touched are fixed in place (listed with reasons, Undo read-through), anything already yours comes back as tracked changes, and author decisions arrive as comments. A thesis or book is a folder: an overview with every chapter's job, and a chapter file created and planned when that chapter starts, from the earlier chapters' actual text. 11 built-in genres plus your own (based on a built-in one, with sample pieces for voice). Writing like a named piece: name an article in the task — "just like [[that post]]" for its form and voice, "in the voice of" for the voice only, or the use in brackets after the link — and it judges from the author's words how to use it; a piece named as a model is not material (not cited, its facts not reused), the new topic comes from the material given for it, and when the form is followed the model's run of parts becomes the plan and its genre and length apply unless the brief sets them. The model can be a note, PDF, Word file or web page; a long one is read for that use (a concrete account of its voice with short verbatim passages, plus its outline when the form is followed). Save as my genre… (file tree right-click on one or several Markdown/text pieces, or asked for in chat) drafts a genre — structure, voice, checks, the pieces kept as samples — shown as a skill draft that is saved only when the user presses Save skill; it then appears in the genre menu under My writing skills. No model is trained; samples are read each time. Results get close to the model, not identical. Non-fiction only. - [Export AI writing to Word and PDF](https://mindmax.me/features/export/): AI assistants write in Markdown, which pasted into Word shows up as asterisks, hash signs and broken tables. Here a chat answer (saved as a document), a canvas branch (converted to a note), a drafted report, a translated document, or an answer copied from ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant with its copy button and pasted into a note, is an ordinary document in your folder (maths written between  and \[ \] is converted to equations on paste); after you have read and revised it, it leaves as a Word file, a PDF or image cards. The export is built from the same rendered page the editor shows, so headings, tables, highlighted code and diagrams survive, maths arrives as real editable Word equations, and citations become numbered superscripts linked to their sources. Image cards come in 3:4, 4:5 or square, split at paragraph boundaries, or as one long image. Optional automatic table of contents, paper size and margins. Export is one direction: edits made in Word do not come back, and AI changes not yet accepted are not included. A pasted answer from another assistant brings its text, formatting and equations, not the images it generated; its web sources arrive as plain links. ## Your own AI app (MCP) - [MindMax MCP](https://mindmax.me/mcp/): a Model Context Protocol server runs inside the desktop app on the loopback address, so an AI app on the same computer works against the folder MindMax has open. Connect Claude, Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT desktop, Cursor, Windsurf or WorkBuddy in one click from Settings → External AI; MindMax writes each app's own configuration and offers to restart it. The app brings its own model; MindMax supplies the tools, the library, the reading map and the review gate. Read: search across every format in the workspace with a quote handle per hit; a long book comes back as a map (two levels, a note per chapter, a section id each) and is then read section by section; page images for figures and scans; your comments, highlights and bookmarks, including the meaning you gave each highlight colour; by default the comment threads waiting on the AI, each with its intent and whose turn it is. Think: the selected card or open canvas is handed over, MindMax's named thinking methods are readable and applicable, and long methods (reading guide with a lens, comment answers, comment insights, chapter notes, canvas method, translation, OCR) run as pipelines where MindMax plans and validates and the app's model does the writing. Write: new documents and canvases are created directly; a change to existing text arrives as grouped tracked changes with reasons and is saved only when accepted; comments and highlights are ordinary annotations the app can read back. There is no overwrite and no delete in the tool set, file moves go through MindMax so history and comments follow, and every write is attributed in version history to the app that made it. Nothing is uploaded to MindMax, no MindMax model runs on this path, so no credits are spent — the cost is tokens in the account of the app you connected. Access is per app: read-only, or collaborate (default). The status bar names the app while it works, each connected app gets its own entry in the sessions list, and calls are recorded in a local audit log for 30 days. Limits: macOS and Windows desktop only, no remote endpoint, no mobile; Claude, Claude Code and Codex are verified end to end, the other hosts are confirmed on first use, and the ChatGPT desktop app may not surface local tools in a given build. - [Connect an AI app](https://mindmax.me/docs/getting-started/connect-an-ai-agent/): the one-click steps, the per-host configuration table, the two access levels, what to say first, and what to check when an app does not appear. - [Tools an agent can call](https://mindmax.me/docs/reference/agent-tools/): every tool grouped by access level — read, propose, write — plus the seven methods it can run with its own model, the ready-made prompts, and how workspace, paths and quote handles work. - [Working in the margin with an AI agent](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/comments-with-an-agent/): what a comment carries (anchor, words, intent), whose turn a thread is on, how to hand comments to MindMax's AI or a connected app, and what happens when the app leaves the comments for you. - [Model Context Protocol](https://mindmax.me/glossary/model-context-protocol/): what the protocol standardises and the three things it does not: the material behind it, the permission model, and the difference between a local and a remote server. - [~1 h: Ask your AI app about your own library](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/ask-your-ai-app-about-your-library/): connect Claude Code or Codex to a folder, ask across a shelf, send it into a book by its map, and review the brief it writes. - [~40 min: Revise in the margin, one comment at a time](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/revise-in-the-margin/): comment on the sentence that is wrong instead of describing where it is, and the app edits that sentence. A comment carries its anchor, your words (or only an intent: rewrite, check, needs a source) and a turn: whoever wrote last hands it back. A proposed edit replies in the thread, accepting marks the comment done and rejecting leaves it open. The same channel runs the other way — ask for a review and the app's comments arrive in the margin waiting for you, and your reply turns the work back to it. - [~1 h: Revise a draft with your own AI agent](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/revise-with-your-own-ai-agent/): leave comments in the margin, ask the connected app to work through them, and take the result as grouped tracked changes on your own text — deletions struck through, additions highlighted, each group with a reason, saved only when accepted. A .docx ends up with real Word tracked changes, Markdown is edited in place, a PDF gets an editable .md copy beside it. There is no per-word toggle: a group is one decision. The tokens are billed to the app you connected; no MindMax credits are spent. - [An afternoon: Open a hard question on the canvas with your agent](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/open-a-question-on-canvas-with-your-agent/): the connected app reads the canvas in front (cards, the points under each, who wrote them, the relations already drawn), then adds cards at the top level or growing from an existing one, draws support, contradiction or reference relations, and can apply one of MindMax's thinking methods onto the board. It may revise only cards it wrote itself; on MindMax's cards it can add points. Branches stay where you left them across sessions, which is the part a chat thread cannot do. - [A book marked up before you start](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/annotate-a-book-with-your-agent/): a long book comes back as a chapter map, then a reading guide with priorities and margin notes lands in the reading panel, and highlights and comments are attached to the passages they are about, attributed to the app that added them. The book stays in your folder and nothing is uploaded to MindMax; a scanned PDF without a text layer reads as page images, and the app chooses which chapters to read even when the question is passed along as a hint. ## Choosing between tools - [AI PDF readers compared](https://mindmax.me/vs/ai-pdf-readers/): ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, NotebookLM, ChatPDF, Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant and MindMax sorted by the job — a general assistant for a one-off question, NotebookLM for a bounded project, ChatPDF for one file on any device, Acrobat when you also edit, fill or sign the PDF (MindMax is not a PDF editor), MindMax for a library of PDFs you return to with every answer quoting a page. - [MindMax vs. uploading PDFs to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini](https://mindmax.me/vs/chatgpt-for-pdfs/): choose a chat assistant if you want one-off answers about a file and already pay for one; choose MindMax if the documents are something you come back to and you need every claim to point back to a page in your own files. Projects in ChatGPT and Claude keep uploads across chats but do not open your folder, annotate the documents or save answers back beside the sources. MindMax can run Claude or GPT models, or your own API key. - [MindMax vs. NotebookLM](https://mindmax.me/vs/notebooklm/): choose NotebookLM for a bounded project with zero install, or if you want audio overviews; choose MindMax if the material is a shelf you return to and you need to annotate the documents themselves. - [MindMax vs. ChatPDF](https://mindmax.me/vs/chatpdf/): choose ChatPDF for one file and one question with nothing to install, including on a phone; choose MindMax when you want annotations, citations and notes to accumulate in your own folder across many documents. - [MindMax vs. building your own RAG setup](https://mindmax.me/vs/local-rag-setup/): build it yourself if the pipeline is the point — full offline operation, a very large corpus, or programmatic access; choose MindMax if the documents are the point and you would rather not maintain a retrieval stack. Not using embeddings is a trade: no indexing wait and no stale index, at the cost of recall on questions worded very differently from your files. - [AI mind map tools compared](https://mindmax.me/vs/ai-mind-map-tools/): Mapify and GitMind for a quick one-shot map of a PDF, video or web page; Xmind when the map is a diagram you will restyle and present; Heptabase for hand-arranged boards; MarginNote for highlights that become nodes and flashcards on Apple devices; MindMax for a map of a book whose cards cite the sentences they came from and keep growing as you read. MindMax's canvas has automatic layout and no freehand drawing. - [MindMax vs. Heptabase](https://mindmax.me/vs/heptabase/): choose Heptabase if you think by arranging cards by hand, want mobile apps or Linux, or share boards with others; choose MindMax if you want the AI to draw the first map of a book with every branch citing its sentence, and want notes and maps to stay plain files in your own folder. Both cite sources in AI answers. - [MindMax vs. MarginNote](https://mindmax.me/vs/marginnote/): MarginNote runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac and turns your highlights into map nodes and spaced-repetition flashcards; MindMax runs on macOS and Windows and has AI draw the map, annotate the book through a lens, translate it or draft from it. Choose MarginNote for memorising on an iPad; MindMax for Windows, or for understanding and using the argument. - [MindMax vs. Immersive Translate](https://mindmax.me/vs/immersive-translate/): choose Immersive Translate for bilingual reading of web pages, videos and PDFs in the browser, a downloadable bilingual EPUB, or a layout-preserving PDF; choose MindMax to translate a whole book against one glossary agreed before the run, checked for dropped content and changed numbers, delivered as Markdown in your folder to read side by side and revise. - [Using MindMax with an Obsidian vault](https://mindmax.me/works-with/obsidian/): not a migration. The vault folder opens directly, wiki links and backlinks keep working, and both apps read the same files; Obsidian plugins are not loaded in this version (they keep working in Obsidian), Sync, Publish and themes are not supported; .canvas files are JSON Canvas and open in both apps. - Not compared: Notion. If you want a team workspace with databases and shared pages, use Notion — MindMax does not do team collaboration (it can collect comments from others through a review link, but there is no shared workspace). ## Use cases - ~10 min: [Get up to speed on a folder you just inherited](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/get-up-to-speed-on-a-folder/) — open a handover folder as it is, ask what is in it and what matters, check two quotes, keep a one-page note whose points quote their documents - ~30 min: [Understand a paper outside your field](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/understand-a-paper-fast/) - ~10 min a week: [Keep a project log that writes your weekly update](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/keep-a-project-log/) — say each decision as it happens, let the AI correct and file it under its heading, check the names it was unsure of, tidy the whole note on Friday, and turn the week into an update with Command-Enter. - <1 hr: [Write a proposal from your notes, without made-up numbers](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/write-a-proposal-from-your-notes/) — start a writing brief as a Proposal, put the decision you want on its first line, let it plan and write from your notes, answer the budget, owner and dates it asks for instead of guessing, and export to Word - ~1 hr: [Turn a stack of reports into a brief you can send](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/brief-from-a-stack-of-reports/) — ask the folder where the reports disagree, draft it from the reports in the document, revise as tracked changes, export to Word with citations that still quote the page - ~1 hr: [Turn feedback on a draft into a second draft](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/revise-a-draft-from-feedback/) — put each point on its passage as a comment, revise from the comments, accept the edits group by group - ~1 hr of yours over a few days: [Get feedback on a draft from people who don't use MindMax](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/get-feedback-on-a-draft/) — send a review link with one focused question, collect comments on the passages, revise from the ones you agree with, decline the rest with a reason, send round two to the same link. - ~1 hr: [Review a colleague's draft and send back Word comments](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/review-a-colleagues-draft/) — set a focus or criteria, let the AI draft comments on the exact passages, adopt the ones you agree with in your own words, and export a reviewed copy of the file with Word comments. - ~1 hr per pass: [Learn a new field on the canvas](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/learn-a-new-field/) — prerequisites, a study order, and a self-test that reports which mistakes cluster where rather than a score - ~2 hr: [Answer a questionnaire from the documents you already have](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/answer-a-questionnaire-from-your-documents/) — security questionnaires, tenders, due-diligence lists: each question kept in its own wording and order, each answer quoting the document it rests on, exported to Word - an evening per lecture: [Study for an exam from the lecture slides](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/study-for-an-exam-from-slides/) — page-by-page explanations of the deck, then a study pass that asks you questions and reads your answers back - <1 hr: [Write a new piece the way your best one was written](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/write-in-the-style-of-an-example/) — name a piece to write like (yours or one you admire) in a writing brief with what to take from it, give the new topic its own material, read the result against the model, then right-click Save as my genre… and review the drafted genre before saving - an afternoon: [Think through a decision you keep going round on](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/think-through-a-decision/) — options on one ruler, what each gives up, a memo and a first action - an afternoon: [Translate a book you need to read](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/translating-a-book/) - an afternoon: [Turn a week of reading notes into something you can publish](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/notes-that-write-back/) — find the argument in your notes, write the spine yourself, draft against it; the piece goes back into the folder as material for the next question - an afternoon plus your reading: [Write a literature review from the papers you have already read](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/write-a-literature-review-from-your-papers/) — ask where the papers disagree, start a Literature review and stop at the outline, rework the themes on the plan cards, let it write with footnotes quoting each passage, check every claim of consensus - as long as the book takes: [Read a book and end up with notes you can use](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/read-a-book-and-keep-notes/) — read with a second reader in the margin and finish holding the argument - a multi-week project: [Write a thesis or a book](https://mindmax.me/use-cases/thesis-longform-writing/) ## Docs (how-to guides) - [What MindMax is](https://mindmax.me/docs/intro/): a desktop AI workspace that reads, thinks and writes inside a folder you already own; two rules hold everywhere — conclusions carry checkable quotes, and AI edits arrive as tracked changes. - [Installing MindMax](https://mindmax.me/docs/getting-started/installation/): macOS on Apple silicon (signed and notarised) or Windows 10+ (Microsoft Store recommended; the .exe installer makes SmartScreen warn once), background updates with a one-click restart (the Store version is updated by the Store). - [Opening your first folder](https://mindmax.me/docs/getting-started/opening-your-first-folder/): the workspace created on first launch, opening an existing folder or Obsidian vault in place, and exactly what MindMax writes into the folder. - [Using your own API key](https://mindmax.me/docs/getting-started/use-your-own-api-key/): add a provider or a local model (Ollama, LM Studio), pick models per tier, fix connection errors. - [Choosing what the AI can read](https://mindmax.me/docs/getting-started/what-the-ai-can-read/): hide files from AI, exclude folders, narrow one conversation to only the documents you added, and see which files are searchable yet. - [Reading and annotating](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/reading-and-annotating/): highlight and comment on PDFs, books and slides, ask about a passage or a boxed region, turn a table or equation into Markdown, follow a citation to its page. - [Having a document annotated by AI](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/ai-annotation-lenses/): pick a guide, critique or study lens, or start a review; the AI annotates the whole document chapter by chapter and ends with a write-up. Includes reviewing someone else's document: focus and criteria, adopting comments, exporting a reviewed Word copy. - [Asking questions about your documents](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/chatting-with-documents/): one document or a whole folder, narrowing the scope, web lookups for gaps, and checking the quotes. - [Searching your folder](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/searching-your-folder/): literal and ranked results side by side across every format, operators (path:, tag:, line:, section:), and the AI re-pick. - [Handing the assistant a long job](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/handing-off-a-job/): approve the plan, watch progress, pause and resume, and where the output files land. - [Thinking on the canvas](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/thinking-on-the-canvas/): spread a question out with thinking-model skills, lay a book out as a mind map beside it, cut, and turn branches into notes or outlines. - [Writing in the editor](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/writing-in-the-editor/): Markdown with wiki links, slash commands and block handles; AI at the cursor as tracked changes. - [Reviewing and revising with AI](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/reviewing-ai-revisions/): revise a whole document from one request or from your comments, then accept or reject the edits group by group. - [Requesting review from other people](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/requesting-review/): send a review link, what reviewers can do, fetching comments, declining, blocking, new rounds, ending or withdrawing a link, and limits. - [Writing with a writing brief](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/writing-with-a-brief/): start a piece from the assistant or a brief in an empty document; the brief and plan cards, cards that ask for your material, [To verify] markers, stopping and restoring a section, the read-through, sources and the web. - [Writing a thesis or a book](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/writing-a-thesis-or-book/): the project folder — an overview with every chapter's job, chapter files created when you start them, Builds on / Leads into, writing the whole book, and the read-through of the book. - [Voice and quick notes](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/voice-and-quick-notes/): a global shortcut to dictate or type into today's note from any app, or have the AI file the thought under the right heading. - [Translating a document](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/document-translation/): brief, glossary gate, checked chapters, side-by-side reading, resumable runs. - [Recognising scanned PDFs](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/scanned-pdf-ocr/): start recognition per document, read the per-page quality report, re-run only bad pages. - [Exporting to Word, PDF or images](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/exporting-to-word-and-pdf/): real tables, editable Word equations and numbered sources, including answers pasted from ChatGPT or Claude. - [Using and writing skills](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/using-skills/): call skills with /, copy and edit built-ins, write one with /new-skill, import or share a SKILL.md. - [History and memory](https://mindmax.me/docs/guides/memory-and-history/): compare and restore earlier versions of a document; read, edit or switch off what the assistant remembers. - [Supported formats](https://mindmax.me/docs/reference/supported-formats/) · [Settings reference](https://mindmax.me/docs/reference/settings-reference/) · [Common issues](https://mindmax.me/docs/troubleshooting/common-issues/) ## Blog - [Stop saying “the third paragraph.” Write the instruction on the sentence](https://mindmax.me/blog/the-margin-is-not-a-chat/): a comment is already on the sentence it is about and carries a short instruction and a kind, so nothing is pasted and no paragraph is counted; a thread knows whose turn it is, so a connected app continues the exchange instead of re-answering it, and a review pass lands as notes in the margin rather than a report. Nothing on this path spends MindMax credits. - [Your agent doesn't need your uploads. It needs a map of your library](https://mindmax.me/blog/agent-with-a-library/): an agent that can open a file is not an agent that has read your library — what it lacks is a map of the shelf, the marks you already made, and a boundary on what it may touch. Uploading fixes none of the three; a local Model Context Protocol server in MindMax lets Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT or Cursor work against the folder where the files already are, with books offered as maps and edits proposed rather than written. - [Why put an AI reading assistant in the browser?](https://mindmax.me/blog/why-mindmax-read-is-online/): an online AI reader should make a first real reading session easy to try; MindMax Read follows a book's chapter structure, reads relevant sections in full, and can find evidence whose wording differs from the question. This is a specific advantage for deep, cross-chapter book questions, not a claim of universal benchmark superiority over ChatPDF or ChatDOC. - [The MindMax online document editor — light enough that jotting things down feels natural](https://mindmax.me/blog/why-we-built-the-online-document-editor/): a lightweight online document editor is one you open and write in at once — no install, no account — with Markdown underneath so the file stays portable, Word/PDF/image cards out when the note becomes something to hand over, and AI at the cursor whose edits arrive as tracked changes. - [An AI thinking canvas for the question you keep circling](https://mindmax.me/blog/ai-thinking-canvas/): branches hold arguments rather than keywords, a hub card says what they add up to instead of summarising each, and what fails to convince gets cut; free in the browser, and on your own files in the desktop app. - [Why MindMax starts with an editor, not a chat box](https://mindmax.me/blog/editor-not-chat/): an unfinished idea can become context, a plan and a draft on the same Markdown page; AI works on the document in place, and every proposed edit remains yours to accept or reject. - [Organize notes with AI](https://mindmax.me/blog/organize-notes-with-ai/): the safe rule is to let AI change how a note is written, never what it says — fix every typo, file it, add nothing, and flag uncertain corrections. - [How to read a research paper with AI](https://mindmax.me/blog/read-research-paper-with-ai/): ask for the claim and what it rests on first, check two quotes against the page, then read the parts that matter yourself. - [Why AI invents citations](https://mindmax.me/blog/ai-hallucinated-citations/): a citation is plausible text to a model; requiring verbatim quotes matched against the source catches invented and smoothed quotes, but not a real quote attached to the wrong claim. - [Chatting with multiple PDFs](https://mindmax.me/blog/chat-with-multiple-pdfs/): the common failure is a skipped source or averaged disagreement; ask per-document questions, demand attribution, and check what the answer actually read. - [How to OCR a scanned PDF](https://mindmax.me/blog/ocr-scanned-pdf/): check recognition page by page rather than trusting one accuracy figure, re-run only the bad pages, and keep the original scan as the source of truth. - [How to translate a whole EPUB with AI](https://mindmax.me/blog/translate-epub-with-ai/): settle a glossary before translating, translate every chapter against it in one run, check mechanically for omissions, read side by side. - [Using AI with an Obsidian vault](https://mindmax.me/blog/obsidian-vault-ai/): open the same folder in a second app that reads it in place; the PDFs in the vault become readable, quotable and answerable; plugins stay in Obsidian. - [ChatGPT or Claude answer to Word](https://mindmax.me/blog/chatgpt-answer-to-word/): assistants write Markdown; paste into a Markdown editor that converts the equation delimiters, then export to .docx with real headings, tables and editable equations. - [Local LLMs (Ollama, LM Studio) for documents](https://mindmax.me/blog/local-llm-for-documents/): short, contained document work is fine on a laptop-sized model; long jobs needing large context and reliable tool calls are not. - [Reading Kindle books with AI](https://mindmax.me/blog/read-kindle-books-with-ai/): DRM-free .mobi and .azw3 files open as proper books with chapters; books bought from the Kindle store carry DRM and cannot be opened. - [AI edits as tracked changes](https://mindmax.me/blog/ai-track-changes/): an AI may add to your files but not replace what you wrote on its own; edits arrive marked, grouped with reasons, and are written only when accepted. - [How to have AI edit a Word document with tracked changes](https://mindmax.me/blog/ai-edit-word-track-changes/): pasting into a chat loses the template, numbering and any record of what changed; revise the .docx itself, review each edit first, and write the accepted ones back as Word tracked changes. - [How to review a Word document with AI and send back comments](https://mindmax.me/blog/ai-review-word-document-comments/): a chat review leaves you finding each paragraph and retyping comments into Word; here comments are drafted on the exact passages, kept in your own words, and exported as ordinary Word comments in a copy of the file. Covers confidential manuscripts and PDF submissions. - [How to get comments on a draft from anyone](https://mindmax.me/blog/get-comments-on-a-draft/): ask a narrow question, make commenting take no setup, get each comment back on its sentence. - [Sending a thesis chapter to your supervisor](https://mindmax.me/blog/send-thesis-chapter-to-supervisor/): say what stage the chapter is at, sort the comments, and send a second draft your supervisor can check point by point. - [Writing a thesis chapter with AI](https://mindmax.me/blog/write-thesis-with-ai/): settle the claim and outline yourself, draft from your sources, keep track of what earlier chapters claimed and defined, and check your institution’s AI rules first. - [Studying for an exam from lecture slides](https://mindmax.me/blog/study-from-lecture-slides/): rebuild what was said around each slide, box the diagram you missed, then switch from reading explanations to being quizzed. - [How to get AI to write in your style](https://mindmax.me/blog/ai-write-in-my-style/): show it a piece instead of describing the style, keep the example's facts out of the new piece, say whether to take the form or only the voice, and save the style as a reusable genre; no model is trained. - [How to write an AI skill (SKILL.md)](https://mindmax.me/blog/write-an-ai-skill/): the description decides when a skill is picked, the body decides what happens; write the description as a situation, keep the body literal. - [Voice notes to Markdown](https://mindmax.me/blog/voice-notes-to-markdown/): a global shortcut, a transcript you read before it saves, and plain text in today’s note; AI filing changes how you said it, not what you said. - [Answering an RFP or security questionnaire with AI](https://mindmax.me/blog/answer-questionnaire-from-documents/): the costly mistake is a confident answer quoting a superseded policy; require a quote under every answer and check the ones that commit you. - [The pre-mortem](https://mindmax.me/blog/pre-mortem/): assume the plan failed and list why; prospective hindsight surfaces risks people otherwise keep to themselves. - [The steelman](https://mindmax.me/blog/steelman-argument/): restate the opposing view at its strongest before answering it; build it from the source text, not a summary. - [First principles thinking](https://mindmax.me/blog/first-principles-thinking/): label each reason as constraint, requirement or convention, set conventions aside and rebuild from the rest. - [SCAMPER](https://mindmax.me/blog/scamper-technique/): seven questions — substitute, combine, adapt, modify, put to another use, eliminate, reverse — for improving an idea that already exists. - [Six thinking hats](https://mindmax.me/blog/six-thinking-hats/): one question from six angles in turn — facts, feelings, risks, value, ideas, process — ending in a decision. - [The decision matrix](https://mindmax.me/blog/decision-matrix/): every option scored on the same criteria; set weights before scoring and distrust close totals. - [What “verbatim” means in a PDF](https://mindmax.me/blog/verbatim-quotes-from-pdfs/): hyphenation, ligatures and page breaks make exact quote checking hard; it must forgive the page and stay strict about the words. - [Asking AI about a whole book](https://mindmax.me/blog/ask-ai-about-a-whole-book/): pasting a book in loses the middle and chunking misses cross-chapter questions; reading by chapter structure, with a list of what was read, makes gaps visible. - [Why there is no vector database](https://mindmax.me/blog/no-vector-database/): retrieval misses are invisible, lexical misses are loud; documents that fit are read whole and books are navigated by structure. - [Why the AI annotates sparsely](https://mindmax.me/blog/ai-book-annotation/): marks only where a busy expert would stop, says up front how often it plans to stop; two lenses ask instead of answer. - [A screenshot is not a region](https://mindmax.me/blog/screenshot-chart-ask-ai/): a boxed region carries the text under it, its page and the document, so numbers come from the text rather than pixels. - [The subscription is a convenience, not a gate](https://mindmax.me/blog/bring-your-own-api-key/): every AI feature works on your own API key with no account or allowance; your own cloud key is not the same as privacy. - [What is free and what costs credits](https://mindmax.me/blog/what-costs-credits/): reading, writing, search, export and your files cost nothing; only AI work spends credits or runs on your own key. - [The mind map was the right shape all along](https://mindmax.me/blog/ai-mind-map-mental-models/): a blank map holds only what you already thought of; applying named thinking models to each branch fixes that. - [Introducing MindMax — the workspace knowledge work never had](https://mindmax.me/blog/introducing-mindmax/): the workspace (folder, file, agent), one report from reading to a Word file with checkable quotes, and what it is not. - [What we are building, and what we are not](https://mindmax.me/blog/what-mindmax-is/): a desktop app working inside your own folder, with checkable quotes; not a team wiki, not mobile, not a general assistant. - [Changelog](https://mindmax.me/blog/tags/changelog/): release notes, latest [v1.3](https://mindmax.me/blog/v1-3/). ## Models - One subscription reaches several model families rather than one: Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, MiMo. MindMax picks a tier for the task and you can override it. - Or bring your own API key and skip the subscription entirely. Every AI feature works the same way on your own key — the same four tiers, the same tools, no account needed and no weekly allowance to run out of — and you decide which model sits in each tier, overriding it per task. 15 providers come pre-filled (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, xAI, DeepSeek, Moonshot Kimi, Alibaba Qwen, Zhipu GLM, Xiaomi MiMo, SiliconFlow, Ollama, LM Studio, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint); the model list is fetched from the provider itself rather than from a list MindMax maintains, and keys are encrypted with the operating system credential store and never sent to MindMax. Ollama and LM Studio need no key and run on your own machine. Caveats: a text-only provider cannot fill the vision tier, so scanned-page recognition and region questions need a provider that reads images; a laptop-sized local model will be slow at or unable to finish book-length jobs; with your own key there is no weekly limit and therefore no brake on what a long job costs you; and using your own key routes your document text to that provider instead of through MindMax, which is not the same thing as it staying on your machine — only a local model means nothing leaves. ## Open source - PDF → Markdown engine: https://mindmax.me/open-source/pdf-markdown/ . Published as the npm package `@mindmax/pdf-markdown`, Apache-2.0, source at https://github.com/woodpeng/mindmax-pdf-markdown . It reads a PDF's text layer and rebuilds the document from its geometry rather than from the order the producer wrote to the file: reading order across columns, paragraph joins across line and page breaks, heading levels from type size and numbering (refined by the bookmark outline, then the tagged structure tree), lists, tables recovered from gutters and alignment, links restored from link annotations, and running headers, footers, page numbers and watermarks removed (tagged `/Artifact` content first, geometry as the fallback). TypeScript, zero runtime dependencies, ~25 KB gzipped, Node 18+ and any browser, no `fs` and no `window` in the package. `convertPdfToMarkdown(doc)` returns `{ ok, markdown, pageCount, links, textLayerIssues }` or `{ ok: false, reason: 'scanned' | 'empty' }`; `buildPdfTextMap(pages)` returns `{ text, pages }` where every page start and every text item's range is recorded, so annotations and citations can be addressed by character offset. `CANONICAL_TEXT_VERSION` is bumped only when that text changes for the same input. This is the code running at https://mindmax.me/tools/pdf-to-markdown/ and behind PDF import in the desktop app. - What the engine refuses to do, stated on the project page: OCR a scanned page (no text layer to read), recover equations (a PDF stores positioned glyphs, so x² arrives as x2; pages where this happened are counted and reported instead), carry images across, or upload anything (the package makes no network call). - Maintenance and boundary (https://mindmax.me/open-source/): the MindMax team maintains the engine in public, and the MindMax app depends on the published npm package rather than a private copy, so fixes for the app are released in the public repository first. Apache-2.0 covers the engine; OCR, AI reading, annotations, the editor and the desktop app are the proprietary MindMax product, and the MindMax name is not licensed. Commitments written in the repository: security reports answered within 72 hours (SECURITY.md); triager role after 3 merged PRs or accepted corpus cases, maintainer after two triagers vouch (GOVERNANCE.md); if the owner is unreachable for 90 days, maintainers may continue from a fork (GOVERNANCE.md); every corpus PDF licence-checked (eval/corpus/ATTRIBUTION.md). Next component announced for open source, without a date: the Word (.docx) export engine with editable equations, once it builds without MindMax's internal packages and has its own tests. - Regression discipline: the repository carries 22 real documents with the exact Markdown each produced (16 CC-BY, 5 US federal works, 1 official Chinese government document — all redistributable), plus 170 tests. A bad conversion joins the corpus as a failing assertion and stays there after the fix, so the corpus grows with every reported case rather than with every release. - Per-document results: https://mindmax.me/open-source/pdf-markdown/benchmark/ renders the JSON the test run writes (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/woodpeng/mindmax-pdf-markdown/main/eval/results.json), one row per document: pages, headings, tables, links, the assertions a person checked against the PDF, and the defects still open. At v0.1.0 that is 22 documents, 612 pages, 120 assertions all passing, and 17 failing checks across 10 documents listed in public. The page also states what the table does not measure: there is no ground-truth document tree behind it, so no structural-accuracy score is claimed; the corpus is chosen by us from failure modes we hit rather than sampled from PDFs in general, so it says nothing about an arbitrary file; golden snapshots record what the engine produces today, not what it should produce; no competing converter is run. ## In the browser, no install - [MindMax web editor](https://mindmax.me/write/) (described at [Online Markdown editor](https://mindmax.me/tools/online-markdown-editor/)): the same editor as the desktop app, running in the browser, for turning one AI answer or Markdown document into something you can hand over. Paste an answer from ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Kimi or another assistant (the copy button's Markdown, or the rendered answer selected and copied); equations written between  and \[ \] are converted to $ / $$ on the way in, and equations copied from a rendered page keep their TeX source. Export to Word (.docx with equations as native, editable Word equations, real tables, highlighted code, Mermaid diagrams as pictures), to PDF through the browser's print dialog, to Markdown, or copy as rich text for email and chat tools. Editing and exporting are free with no account and no watermark. Documents are stored only in that browser (IndexedDB); local .md files can be opened and, where the browser allows, saved back in place. With a free account: inline AI rewriting with every change shown for you to accept or reject, on the same weekly allowance as the desktop app; Request review links (one open on the free plan); diagrams generated from the text, and long text split into image cards by AI. Exporting the document as image cards or one long image needs no account. Ghost-text autocomplete is for paid plans. Not in the browser: folders, the PDF/EPUB/PPTX readers, search across files, chat with documents, AI writing, the canvas, translation, links between notes, opening .docx files. Caveats: clearing the browser's site data deletes the documents, so export what you need to keep; the AI and review links depend on reaching api.mindmax.me. - [MindMax Read](https://mindmax.me/read/) (described at [AI reading assistant](https://mindmax.me/tools/ai-reading-assistant/)): reading with AI in the browser, for papers, reports and books. Upload a PDF, EPUB, MOBI/AZW3, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), TXT or Markdown file (no Excel, no scanned PDFs); text is extracted in the browser and the file stays there (IndexedDB). An opening card says what the text argues, where to start and which questions are worth asking. Asking needs a free account: the AI looks at the structure first, decides which sections to read and shows which it opened, reads them back and answers; every quotation is checked against the text (unmatched quotes are flagged under the answer), PDF citations carry the page, and clicking a quote jumps to it. Follow-up questions after each answer; save an answer as a note in the web editor or export the conversation as Markdown. A shelf of public-domain sample books opens with no upload, each with a [book page](https://mindmax.me/books/) of chapter notes and answered questions. One document at a time — asking across a folder, margin notes saved as files, OCR and full translation are in the desktop app. Tool pages: [AI paper reader](https://mindmax.me/tools/ai-paper-reader/), [online EPUB reader](https://mindmax.me/tools/online-epub-reader/). - [Online tools](https://mindmax.me/tools/): one page per job, each opening the web editor set up for it. Word and PDF (free, no account): AI answer to Word from [ChatGPT](https://mindmax.me/tools/chatgpt-to-word/), [Claude](https://mindmax.me/tools/claude-to-word/), [DeepSeek](https://mindmax.me/tools/deepseek-to-word/) or [Kimi](https://mindmax.me/tools/kimi-to-word/); [Markdown to Word](https://mindmax.me/tools/markdown-to-word/); [Markdown to PDF](https://mindmax.me/tools/markdown-to-pdf/); [LaTeX to Word equations](https://mindmax.me/tools/latex-to-word/); [Mermaid to Word](https://mindmax.me/tools/mermaid-to-word/); [PDF to Markdown](https://mindmax.me/tools/pdf-to-markdown/) (headings, lists, tables and links rebuilt in the browser; text-layer PDFs only). Diagrams from text (free account for the AI step; every node links back to the sentence it came from; export Word, PDF, PNG or SVG): [AI diagram generator](https://mindmax.me/tools/ai-diagram-generator/) (picks the type), [mind map](https://mindmax.me/tools/text-to-mindmap/), [flowchart](https://mindmax.me/tools/text-to-flowchart/), [org chart](https://mindmax.me/tools/org-chart-maker/), [data chart](https://mindmax.me/tools/text-to-chart/), [Gantt chart](https://mindmax.me/tools/gantt-chart-maker/), [timeline](https://mindmax.me/tools/text-to-timeline/), [fishbone](https://mindmax.me/tools/fishbone-diagram/), [SWOT](https://mindmax.me/tools/swot-analysis/), [Venn diagram](https://mindmax.me/tools/venn-diagram/), [infographic](https://mindmax.me/tools/text-to-infographic/). Images: [text to image](https://mindmax.me/tools/text-to-image/) and [ChatGPT to image](https://mindmax.me/tools/chatgpt-to-image/) (image cards or one long image, paged between paragraphs, no account); [long text to cards](https://mindmax.me/tools/long-text-to-cards/) (AI splits an article into a cover, one point per card and a summary; free account). Frameworks, on the [AI thinking canvas](https://mindmax.me/tools/ai-thinking-canvas/) at mindmax.me/think (each page has a worked example canvas; run the framework on your own problem in the browser — two runs with no account, then a free account; the canvas itself starts from solving a problem, making a decision, brainstorming, learning a topic, reading a pasted article or PDF, or a blank canvas, offers an optional step-by-step consultant flow to a one-page answer, and shares read-only links): [issue tree](https://mindmax.me/tools/issue-tree/), [Porter's Five Forces](https://mindmax.me/tools/porters-five-forces/), [business model canvas](https://mindmax.me/tools/business-model-canvas/), [pre-mortem](https://mindmax.me/tools/pre-mortem/), [pyramid principle](https://mindmax.me/tools/pyramid-principle/), [first principles](https://mindmax.me/tools/first-principles-thinking/), [5 Whys](https://mindmax.me/tools/5-whys/), [TAM/SAM/SOM](https://mindmax.me/tools/tam-sam-som/). - [MindMax Think](https://mindmax.me/think/) (described at [AI thinking canvas](https://mindmax.me/tools/ai-thinking-canvas/)): an AI canvas in the browser for the question you keep circling. Put one question in the middle; AI lays out several independent lines of thought, each branch can be expanded while the surrounding context stays visible, and a hub card says what the branches add up to rather than restating them. SCAMPER, first principles, red team and the six thinking hats are plain-text Skills that can be applied to a branch. The canvas starts from solving a problem, making a decision, brainstorming, learning a topic, reading a pasted article or PDF, or a blank canvas; an optional consultant flow walks through to a one-page answer, and read-only links can be shared. Two runs need no account, then a free account. Example canvases are embedded under /think/embed/*, are noindex, and canonicalise to their static /tools/ pages. A persistent canvas saved in your own folder is part of the desktop app. - Plain Markdown descriptions of the three browser applications: https://mindmax.me/read.md · https://mindmax.me/think.md · https://mindmax.me/write.md . Each is declared as `` in the corresponding app shell, so an engine that reads raw HTML (these three are JavaScript applications) still gets a citable, dated description rather than an empty document. ## Pricing - Free — 100 credits per week, Fast, Standard and Vision models, no Deep models, 1 device, 1 concurrent task. - Starter — US$10/month or US$100/year, 2,000 credits per week, adds limited Deep models and web search, up to 600 of them on the deep tier, 1 device, 3 concurrent tasks. - Pro — US$20/month or US$200/year, 6,000 credits per week, adds full Deep models, up to 2,400 of them on the deep tier, 2 devices, 6 concurrent tasks. - Max — US$100/month or US$1,000/year, 36,000 credits per week, up to 18,000 of them on the deep tier, 3 devices, 12 concurrent tasks. - Credits are spent on AI work only. Opening, reading, annotating and searching your own files does not consume them. ## What MindMax is not - Not a mobile app. The workspace — folders, annotations kept as files, search and AI across your files — is a desktop application on a local folder; MindMax Read (reading and asking) and the web editor work in any browser, phone included, one document at a time. - Not a team workspace, a database, or a collaborative wiki. It is a single-person tool for working through documents. - Not a general-purpose assistant. It does documents. ## Press and citations The canonical short source for product facts, boilerplate, official profiles and name disambiguation is the page at https://mindmax.me/press/ (facts last checked 2026-11-09; a plain Markdown mirror is published at /press.md and declared in the page head). Cite it as: MindMax. "MindMax press & fact sheet." https://mindmax.me/press/ — Last verified: 2026-11-09. - One-sentence description: MindMax is an AI workspace (desktop app for macOS and Windows, plus lightweight browser apps Read, Think and Write) that reads, thinks and writes with you inside a folder you already own — no import, no proprietary store, no vector database. - Platforms: macOS on Apple silicon (M1 or newer); Windows 10 or later, 64-bit. - Current version: 1.4.0, released 2026-11-05. Stage: public beta; first public release note 2026-08-27. - Pricing model: the app is free; AI work is paid through a subscription or your own API key. - Official third-party profiles (the only ones asserted as sameAs): https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9P1PX1D0VN3V and https://github.com/woodpeng/mindmax-releases - Stable entity IDs (JSON-LD @id values): /#organization and /#app on https://mindmax.me/ - History: MindMax is made by the same team as FunBlocks. "FunBlocks MindMax", an "AI Visual Thinking Suite" for mind maps and slides that this domain described earlier, is its predecessor in spirit; the current MindMax is a rebuilt product centred on reading, thinking and writing with your own documents. Older indexed pages describe the earlier suite; where they differ, https://mindmax.me/press/ is current. - Desktop vs web: the desktop app works on a persistent folder (cross-file search, tracked changes in Word, saved canvases and history, MCP server). The browser apps Read, Think and Write handle one document per session with no install. Details: https://mindmax.me/press/#desktop-and-web - Public, reproducible test artifact: https://mindmax.me/concepts/checked-quotes/ publishes a 12-case quote-verification fixture under CC0 at https://mindmax.me/downloads/quote-check-fixture.json and a dependency-free scorer at https://mindmax.me/downloads/quote-check.mjs The site publishes the test and its scoring rule, not scores for other products. ## Additional pages (auto-generated from the built HTML) Every entry below is also available as a plain Markdown mirror; the link is given after the summary. ### About MindMax URL: https://mindmax.me/about/ Last verified: 2026-11-10 Markdown: https://mindmax.me/about.md MindMax is an AI workspace — a macOS and Windows desktop app that works inside a folder you own, plus browser apps.
