Help Guide

Learn how to use MyndL to map and understand your mind.

Getting Started

MyndL is a visual tool for mapping your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Each idea becomes a bubble on an infinite canvas, and you draw the connections between them.

1. Sign in with your Google account
2. Drag a bubble type from the sidebar onto the canvas
3. Double-click the bubble to type your thought
4. Drag from a connection dot to another bubble to link them
5. Use the Analyze tab to discover patterns

Bubbles

Built-in types

Adding bubbles

• Drag and drop from the Bubbles tab onto the canvas
• Double-click empty canvas space to pick a type
• Right-click the canvas for a quick type selector

Editing

• Text — double-click the bubble to edit
• Type — select the bubble, click the type label in the toolbar to cycle
• Color — select the bubble, click the color swatch in the toolbar
• Resize — select and drag the corner handles
• Delete — select and press Delete

Custom types

Click "+ Custom Type" at the bottom of the Bubbles tab. Custom types persist across sessions. Click the color dot next to any type to change its default color — all existing bubbles of that type update automatically.

Connections

Connections represent relationships between bubbles — cause and effect, trains of thought, or any association you see.

Creating connections

• Drag — from a connection dot on one bubble to another
• Click — click a connection dot to start, then click the target bubble
• Into empty space — drag a connection into empty canvas to create a new connected bubble

Removing connections

• Right-click a connection line to delete it
• Click to select, then press Delete

Groups

Groups organize related bubbles into labeled, collapsible containers.

Creating

Select multiple bubbles (drag to select or Shift+click), then click Group in the floating toolbar.

Managing

• Rename — toolbar button or double-click the label
• Color — click the color swatch in the group toolbar
• Collapse — shrinks to a compact pill showing name and count. Connections to inner bubbles route to the pill as dashed lines.
• Expand — toolbar button or double-click the collapsed pill
• Add bubbles — select the group and an outside bubble, click Group
• Nest — create groups within groups
• Dissolve — click Ungroup in the toolbar

Mood Tracking

Tag any bubble with an intensity level from 1 (very low) to 5 (very high).

• Select a bubble — five dots appear in the toolbar
• Click a dot to set intensity. Click again to clear.
• Higher intensity shows as a thicker border and deeper background
• Mood data appears in the Analyze tab as distribution charts and averages

Timeline

The Timeline tab displays all bubbles chronologically, grouped by day.

• Filter — click type badges to show or hide specific types
• Navigate — click an entry to pan and zoom to that bubble on the canvas
• Each entry shows the type, time, text preview, and mood if set

Analyze
