Talk to think
Speak naturally. Nodemind listens and converts your stream of consciousness into a structured knowledge graph.
Graph from thoughts
Every idea, task, and connection gets mapped as nodes and edges — so you can see how your thinking is organized.
Tasks & goals extracted
Nodemind automatically pulls out action items and goals from what you say, no manual typing required.
Meeting scheduler
It can schedule meetings directly from your spoken intent. Just say it; Nodemind handles the calendar.
Fully local, no cloud
Everything runs on your Mac. Nothing is sent to any server. Your thoughts stay yours.
Open source .dmg

Built for my own workflow. A few friends tried it and found it useful. So I'm putting it out there. No hype, no waitlist — just a GitHub repo and a .dmg you can download today.
