Download ShiftWhat is Bubbl.us?
Bubbl.us is a web-based mind-mapping and visual brainstorming tool for individuals, educators, and small teams who need a fast, no-friction way to capture ideas and organize thinking. It uses drag-and-drop creation of color-coded bubbles and hierarchical diagrams with cloud storage and auto-save so maps are accessible from any device.
You can work alone or collaborate in real time, then export maps as images or HTML, present or print them, and share editable links. The service offers a limited free tier and paid subscriptions that raise map limits and add features like image/file attachments, revision history, reusable templates, and per-seat or team pricing. It’s useful for lesson planning, rapid brainstorming, meeting notes, and lightweight org charts, and it complements other tools in Shift to keep visual work connected to your workflow.
