Scatter launches as AI mind-map study app with bring-your-own API keys
Start here
Jakub Fleites-Jonczyk released Scatter, a free, source-available desktop browser app that turns a topic, chat or image into an AI-generated mind map; marked terms expand into connected nodes on an infinite canvas. Users supply their own API keys for OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic or local servers such as Ollama, and projects, sources and keys stay in the browser with no app server in between. The app uses a main model for explanations and chat and a cheaper secondary model for term marking and previews, sending at most the parent and grandparent nodes as context to limit token costs. Scatter itself is free, but generation, term previews and other background tasks can incur charges from the user's model provider.

Jakub Fleites-Jonczyk released Scatter, a source-available desktop browser app that builds AI-powered mind maps from a topic, chat or image, with marked terms expanding into connected nodes on an infinite canvas. Users bring their own API keys for OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic or local servers such as Ollama, and projects, sources and keys stay in the browser with no app server in between. The app splits a main model for explanations and chat from a cheaper secondary model for term marking and previews, and sends at most the parent and grandparent nodes as context to limit token costs.
