About Mind Map Maker for Excel

Mind Map Maker for Excel is a desktop app that automatically turns plain-text lists and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) outlines into mind maps, org charts, and flowcharts directly inside Microsoft Excel.

Instead of manually placing shapes and aligning connector lines, you enter structured text into a spreadsheet table, and the layout engine calculates geometry, places nodes, and routes connector paths automatically.

Distributed via Microsoft Store & Marketplace. Free trial available.

Text-to-Diagram Automation: Convert plain-text lists and WBS hierarchies into visual charts instantly.
Excel Ribbon Toolbar: Dedicated controls to reorder nodes, adjust hierarchy levels (Make Parent / Make Child), and filter display depth.
Flexible Styling: Configure horizontal or vertical layouts, split child branches, apply custom connector paths, and use template themes.
Native Office Export: Copy diagrams as editable Office shapes directly into Word and PowerPoint.

Flowchart Maker for Excel
Flowchart Maker for Excel is a native Excel-based app that automates flowchart creation directly inside Microsoft Excel.

Built-in MDS and Sugiyama layout algorithms automatically calculate node placement and route connector lines without overlap. Built on a local .NET architecture (C#, VB.NET, WPF), the add-in runs entirely within your desktop environment. Your sensitive data never leaves your machine for third-party cloud rendering. Diagrams are output as 100% native Microsoft Office shape objects, allowing generated .xlsx files to be shared, edited, and embedded into Word or PowerPoint without requiring recipients to have the add-in installed. Available on the Microsoft Store and Microsoft Marketplace, it supports streamlined procurement and centralized tenant deployment via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
