Baidu Naotu is a Lightweight, browser-based mind mapping editor from BAIdu. It is aimed at people who need to turn scattered thoughts into a structured outline quickly, without installing desktop software. The interface is simple and centered on a single canvas, so new users can start typing a central topic and branch out from there.

What it does

At its core, the tool creates visual mind maps where a main IDEa sits at the center and sub-topics radiate outward. You can add nodes, reARRange branches, collapse or expand SECtions, and adjust the layout to keep large outlines readable. maps can be saved and reopened, which makes it prACTical for ongoing projects such as meeting notes, study plans, or product brainstorming.

Key capabilities

• Fast node editing: Add child and sibling nodes with keyboard shortcuts to build an outline without leaving the keyboard.
• Visual styling: Change colors, line styles, and node APPearance to separate sections or highlight priorities.
• Structure controls: Collapse branches and reorganize topics as an outline grows, keeping the canvas manageable.
• File handling: Export or import common mind map fORMats and images so maps can be reused elsewhere. Exact format support may vary by veRSIon.
• cloud storage: Saved maps are tied to a Baidu account, allowing access from different browsers.

Who it is for

Baidu Naotu suits students organizing lecture notes, writers planning articles, project teams mapping tasks, and anyone who prefers a visual outline over a plain text list. Because it runs in the browser and is free to use, it is a low-friction choice for casual planning. It is less suited to teams that need deep real-time collaboration or integrations with Enterprise Project Management suites.

How to get started

1. Open the Baidu Naotu website in a modern browser.
2. Sign in with a Baidu account if Prompted, since saving maps typically requires an account.
3. Create a new map and type your central topic.
4. Use Tab and Enter, or the on-screen controls, to add branches and sub-branches.
5. Style and rearrange nodes, then save or export the map when you are done.
