It solves the need for collaborative brainstorming by enabling real-time team sessions with features like shared editing, customization, and GDPR-compliant data handling. The project is a fork of the discontinued mindmapp, enhanced with team collaboration capabilities.

Developers choose TeamMapper for its self-hosted deployment, real-time collaboration via WebSockets, and strong data privacy controls, offering a free alternative to commercial mindmapping tools with full customization and ownership.
Mindmapping made simple: Host and create your own mindmaps. Share your mindmap sessions with your team and collaborate on mindmaps.
