7. Import & Export

The crystalized results of your thinking should never be locked into a single software. MindLogic provides an extremely rich set of import and export options.

7.1 Import

If you have already accumulated a lot of notes in other software (such as OmniOutliner, Workflowy, Typora, etc.), you can convert them into MindLogic's logical graphs with one click.

How to operate: On Mac, click File -> Import From... in the top system menu bar. Currently supported formats include:

  1. OPML Outline Files: The universal exchange format for major mind-mapping and outlining software. After importing, the hierarchical relationships are automatically converted into parent-child node connections in the graph.
  2. Markdown Files: Automatically parsed based on heading hierarchies (#, ##) or list indentation to quickly generate a tree-like graph structure.

7.2 Export

When you have completed a stunning architectural design or problem analysis, you can export the graph to various formats.

How to operate:

  • Mac: Click File -> Export As... in the top system menu bar.
  • iOS: Click the Export button (a square icon with an upward arrow) in the top toolbar.

Supported Export Formats:

  1. PNG High-Res Image: Exports a high-resolution bitmap with a transparent background, perfect for pasting directly into chat logs or PowerPoint presentations.
  2. PDF Vector Graphic: (Pro version premium feature) Exported PDF files support infinite zooming without quality loss, making them ideal for high-quality report document printing.
  3. CSV Data Spreadsheet: Exports all entities in the graph and the calculated results of their "Attributes & Formulas" into a standard Excel/CSV spreadsheet, facilitating further data analysis externally.
  4. JSON File: Exports MindLogic's underlying raw data, convenient for developers or scripts to process secondarily.
  5. Markdown (Mermaid): Reverse-compiles the visual graph structure into Mermaid flowchart code. You can paste the exported code directly into Github or Notion, and it will automatically render the flowchart!
  6. Draw.io Format (.drawio): Converts the graph into an XML format compatible with the open-source drawing tool Drawio.
