tmmpr – terminal mind mapper

tmmpr is a Linux terminal application that lets you create, organize, and connect notes on an infinite canvas. Think of it as a digital whiteboard in your terminal where you can freely place notes anywhere and draw connections between them.

The application is entirely keyboard-driven, offering efficient navigation and control through vim-inspired keybindings. Perfect for brainstorming, project planning, or organizing complex ideas.

This is free and open source software.
