Description

Mind Map Maker for Excel is a native Windows desktop Excel-based app that turns plain-text lists and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) data into visual mind maps, org charts, and flowcharts directly inside Microsoft Excel (2016+). Engineered for technical users, analysts, and project managers who want to eliminate manual shape drawing, the add-in uses a local calculation engine to determine geometric node placement, spacing, and connector path routing automatically. Technical Overview & Key Capabilities: • Local Execution & Data Privacy: Runs on-premise as a native COM add-in. All diagram calculations occur locally on your machine—no spreadsheet data is transmitted to external cloud servers or third-party web whiteboards. • Automated Layout Engine: Reads hierarchical text rows or WBS codes (e.g., 1.1, 1.2) to calculate layout geometry, position shapes, and draw straight, elbow, or curved connector lines with zero manual drag-and-drop. • Native Office Shape Export: Renders diagrams using standard Microsoft Office graphic objects. Generated charts can be copied and pasted directly into Word or PowerPoint as fully editable, native shapes without losing formatting or requiring add-in installation for viewers. • Ribbon UI Integration: Adds a dedicated tab to the Excel ribbon with single-click tools to insert, delete, reorder, elevate (Make Parent), or demote (Make Child) node tiers and filter tree rendering depth (Levels 1–5). • Distribution & Compatibility: Distributed via official Microsoft Store and Microsoft Marketplace channels. Supports Windows 10/11 (X86/X64) and desktop Office 2016 or newer ($2.99/mo, fully functional free trial available).
