Topica is the mind mapping tool built for people who own their work. No subscription. No account. No cloud. Your maps live on your Mac — forever. Designed for thinkers who have been burned by subscription-gated exports, Topica puts plain-text interoperability front and center — not buried in a settings menu. KEYBOARD-FIRST EDITING Build entire mind maps without touching the mouse. Tab adds a child node, Return adds a sibling, arrow keys navigate. The outline editor is fast, direct, and stays out of your way. PLAIN-TEXT INTEROPERABLE (Pro) Export to OPML — the universal format that round-trips cleanly with MindNode, iThoughtsX, OmniOutliner, and Obsidian. Export to Markdown nested lists for your PKM system. Export to Mermaid diagram syntax for technical documents and wikis. IMPORT OPML (Pro) Bring in any OPML file from your existing tools. Your structure, your data, no conversion services needed. FULLY LOCAL No analytics. No tracking. No network calls of any kind. Topica never phones home. VISUAL CANVAS Switch between the keyboard-first outline view and a visual tree canvas. Zoom, pan, and collapse branches for focus. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Topica Pro is a single payment. Not a subscription. You pay once and the export features are yours — no renewals, no tier locks, no surprises.

Founder quote

Topicais built around one principle: your data stays on your device. We don't want it, we don't store it, and we don't need it to make the app work. Everything that can run locally, does.”
— Peter Zhang, solo developer, Obelisk Club
