I used Xcode 27's new localization feature to translate MindNode into Ukrainian! 🇺🇦 Do any Ukrainian speakers here have a few minutes to try a test build? I'd love your feedback on whether the translations feel natural and make sense. 💙💛

We implemented Spotlight Semantic Index, Siri Notes schema (best fit) and onscreen awareness. With the "correct" prompts it works great, however sometimes they don't play nice together. Not sure if this is our implementation or us trying to work around EU Siri AI limitations… 🤔

Attached: 1 image MindNode is ready for iOS 27 🎉 The update brings a refreshed app icon, smarter Spotlight search, new Siri integrations, improved node handling, and plenty of fixes across the app. The macOS 27 update will follow shortly.

I'm glad the iPhone Duo is not shipping next week. This gives us a bit more time to adapt for it a bit better now that we know how the design is changing.

And soon you will be able to do the same with Siri. We will support Spotlight Semantic Index, Onscreen awareness and we adopt the "Notes" schemes for Siri interactions.

The new MCP support in MindNode is exciting. I used it to clean up my library today. 1. Asked the agent to find all documents with just one main node and move it to a review folder. 2. As a follow up I let me suggest a new folder structure and implement it 😎

Mind maps don’t always need to grow in one direction. New in MindNode 2026.4: Radial Layout arranges nodes around a central idea for a balanced 360° view. Great for exploring ideas from every angle. #MindNode #MindMapping

Today I shared a bit of MindNode's story at Apple's WWDC recap event in Berlin, looking back at how we've approached adopting new Apple technologies over the past 18 years. Thanks to everyone who came up to chat afterward. And it was great seeing so many familiar faces again.

Apple had a huge impact on my life. Switching to a Mac in 2002 is a big part of why I finished my computer science degree and stayed in IT. Mac OS X showed me that computers can be a joy to use and not just a tool. Happy birthday, Apple 🥳

We hope this helps users who need to open documents from Files/Finder. While storage is still managed by the app it should help some use cases. We decided on purpose to not support Quick Look for those files so users don’t mistake this for extranal documents.
