Individual branches: Right-click branch→ three dotts → Format → Choose Lexend font

Experience clearer, more comfortable reading in your mind maps today! 

Less clutter, more focus! Ayoa's redesigned home screen reduces visual overwhelm while keeping all your favourite features easily accessible through the header and sidebar menu. A calmer, cleaner interface that lets you focus on what matters most.

Jump straight into collaboration! When opening a shared workspace, Ayoa now shows you all available board types with thumbnail previews, so you can instantly see which ones have content and choose where to start. No more guessing, dive directly into the workspace that needs your attention most.

Make your mind maps truly yours! Ayoa now lets you choose custom colours for your main branches and set them as defaults for all future maps.

Create visual consistency across your projects, improve information organisation, or simply match your personal style.

Merge your mind maps into one powerful overview! Ayoa's new Combine Maps feature lets you select multiple existing mind maps and automatically summarise them into a single, focused map. Add your own context to guide the summary—perfect for pulling together study topics, project insights, or research notes into one clear visual. Transform scattered ideas across multiple maps into one cohesive understanding.

Starting fresh just got better! Our updated create map dialogue now lets you choose your preferred board type right from the start. Whether you're brainstorming, planning, or organising, select the perfect canvas for your needs from the get-go. Get started faster with the right foundation for your ideas!

Our AI summary feature just got more intuitive! When notes are selected, AI-generated summaries automatically append to your existing notes instead of creating new branches. Keep your summaries exactly where you need them - integrated seamlessly with your original thoughts. Experience more organised note-taking with intelligent AI assistance!
