### 🧠 What is Mindvas?
12+
13+
Mindvas is an Obsidian plugin that transforms the built-in Canvas into a complete mind mapping tool. If you've used apps like XMind, FreeMind, or MindNode but wanted your mind maps to live inside your vault alongside your notes, Mindvas bridges that gap.
14+
15+
Canvas gives you a great visual foundation, but it doesn't know about trees. Mindvas adds the missing layer: tree-aware keyboard shortcuts, automatic node layout, an outline sidebar, branch colors, and everything else you'd expect from a dedicated mind mapping app — stored as standard Obsidian Canvas files.

### 🤔 Why Mindvas?
18+
19+
* **Lives in your vault** — mind maps are regular `.canvas` files alongside your notes, not a separate app
20+
* **Keyboard-first** — add children, siblings, navigate, delete, and re-layout without touching the mouse
21+
* **Contour-based auto-layout** — packs nodes tightly as the map grows, with left/right branch support
22+
* **Outline panel** — sidebar with search, drag-and-drop, groups, and bidirectional highlight sync
23+
* **Runs locally** — no network requests, no telemetry, no external services
