About DesktopNaotu
DesktopNaotu is a localized desktop version of Baidu Mind Mapping. It lets you build and edit mind maps with no internet connection, so the tool stays usable in offline or local-only environments.
The app carries the core functions of Baidu Mind Mapping and works directly with local km files. You can open files by dragging them in or by file association, and changes are kept with automatic saving.
DesktopNaotu runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS and is available in multiple languages. It is GPL-2.0 licensed, with downloadable builds for each platform from Baidu Cloud and GitHub Releases.
