What Pellven says today
Clear compatibility wording for .mindnode
MindNode recovery is on our roadmap. Tell us if you have MindNode files to recover and we'll prioritise it.
- On the roadmapMindNode recovery is coming — we're still building it. We only mark a format live once it works.
- Keep copiesAlways keep the original file and save recovered work separately as .pellven or export files.
- Review recovery qualityLegacy files can vary by version and corruption state; customers should inspect recovered nodes, notes, links, and layout.
Questions
About recovering MindNode files
Can Pellven open MindNode files yet?
Not yet — native MindNode recovery is on the roadmap, not live. It stays on the roadmap until it works.
How can I recover a MindNode map today?
MindNode can export to OPML or FreeMind (.mm), and Pellven opens both today — a reliable route while native MindNode support is on the roadmap.
Will my original MindNode file be safe?
Yes — when native support lands, MindNode files will be read-only input, with recovered work saved separately as a .pellven copy.
