FAQ
Common questions
Where does DeMinds store my content?
DeMinds is designed for local-first use. Depending on your workspace choice, content may be kept in the app’s local sandbox or in your own iCloud Drive workspace. iCloud can be used as the user’s own optional storage/sync layer, not as a required backend dependency.
Does DeMinds upload my documents for conversion?
DeMinds is built around on-device workflows. Importing, previewing, editing, and exporting are designed to happen locally whenever the supported file type can be handled by the app.
Which file types are supported?
DeMinds focuses on common knowledge and mind map workflows, including .mindnode, .xmind, .mm, .md / .markdown, .docx, .html / .htm, .txt, and supported .zip bundles.
Why convert mind maps or documents to Markdown?
Markdown is readable, portable, and easy to maintain over time. DeMinds uses structure as a bridge: you can move from imported content to a Universal Mind Map view, then continue editing and exporting as Markdown.
Can DeMinds replace my existing writing or note app?
DeMinds is best understood as a structural companion. It helps you bring content in, organize it, convert it, and send it back out as maintainable Markdown for long-term use.
How do I report a bug?
Email [email protected] with the device, system version, app version, file type, and steps to reproduce the issue. Screenshots are helpful when they do not contain private content.
