Files, folders, and your workspace

The dashboard is the home of your saved maps. It shows recent files, folders, templates, and the create/import buttons.

Recents

The dashboard lists your most recently updated maps. Click a thumbnail to open it. On the dashboard (not inside a folder) you can hide or show the Recents list; the choice is remembered on this device.

Each card shows the map name and when it was last updated. The thumbnail is refreshed after you edit and save the map.

Open, rename, share, delete

• Open — click the thumbnail.
• Rename — the ⋯ menu on the card, then Rename. The new name is used in the dashboard and as the export filename.
• Share — the ⋯ menu, then Share. See Share a mind map.
• Delete — the ⋯ menu, then Delete, and confirm. Deleting a map frees a file slot on the Free plan.

Deleting a map does not delete a share link immediately in the interface, but the link stops working once the map is deleted. Turn sharing off first if you want to be explicit.

Select several maps

• Hover a card and tick its checkbox, or tick the checkbox on the left of each card.
• The header switches to a selection bar with Move, Delete, and Cancel.
• The checkbox in the header selects all visible maps.

Move opens a folder picker. Folders are available on Pro; on Free, the picker has no destinations. Delete removes every selected map after confirmation.

Folders (Pro)

Folders are a Pro feature. On Pro:

• Click the + next to Recents in the sidebar to create a folder. Names are limited to 15 characters.
• Use the ⋯ menu on a folder to rename or delete it.
• Deleting a folder keeps its files; they return to the main list.
• Open a folder to see its maps. The Create New and Import File buttons on a folder page save new maps directly into that folder.
• To move existing maps, select them in the main list and use Move.

Free plans keep everything in the single Recents list. The file count still applies.

Guest vs. signed-in

You can create and edit a map without signing in. The difference is where it is kept:

• Signed in — saving is automatic and the map appears in your dashboard, on any device where you sign in.
• Guest — the map is cached in this browser only. There is no dashboard entry to reopen it later, and clearing browser data removes it.

If you want to keep a guest map, either sign in before leaving the page or export the map as .amymind. See Account, plans, and limits for signing in.

Storage and file limits

The sidebar shows live usage:

• AI usage today — actions used against your daily allowance.
• Storage used — images attached to nodes and notes.
• File count — on Free, the badge next to the Plans entry shows used / allowed, and turns into a warning color near the limit.
• Reset time — when the AI allowance resets.

Free plans have a file-count limit and a small storage allowance. Pro has unlimited files and a much larger storage allowance. Exact values are on the Plans page; defaults and behavior are in Account, plans, and limits.

What counts as a file

Each mind map is one file. Editing an existing map never consumes another slot. Deleting a map frees its slot. Imported maps and maps created from templates are files like any other.

Images are not files in this count; they use storage instead.
