수요 읽기
두 모델이 독립적으로 평가 (측정 아님, 애널리스트 의견)
Opus와 Codex 두 AI의 읽기입니다. 측정된 수요가 아니라 판단이에요. 둘이 갈리면 그만큼 불확실하다는 뜻입니다.

리뷰가 말하는 불만
경쟁앱 리뷰 90개에서 추출
- “all my mind maps have disappeared 😢. I can't find them anywhere! I had a ton of research that I need to complete a book I'm writing and now it's all gone 😡”
- “if you spend hours on a mind map, and you swipe to rename it, but you accidentally press delete; your mind map will disappear in seconds”
- “I almost erased my entire map by accident with no way to undo”
A trash bin, version history, and a delete confirmation are cheap to build and the single most trust-building safety net competitors lack.
- “it seems I need to purchase Pro functionality AGAIN for my iOS devices?”
- “I had to buy the app again for $29.99 to use it on my computer and yet again to use it on my iPad”
- “my maps didn't sync. I purchased the actual pro apps on both and it worked”
One purchase that covers iPhone and iPad via iCloud sync (CloudKit, no server) directly answers the loudest complaint. Apple's universal purchase makes this easy for a solo dev.
- “All of the toolbar was greyed out. I kept tapping everywhere but nothing happened”
- “got a response from the dev that the feature is there, it's just locked behind an in-app purchase”
- “I spent the time to making the graph only to see that I have to pay $11 for it. That is ridiculous”
A genuinely usable free tier plus one clearly-priced unlock converts better than traps. Users explicitly reward the no-subscription one-time model with loyalty.
- “can't Import opml or export opml”
- “One thing i could not find is exporting in SVG format”
- “they have no support for Apple Pencil except as a replacement for a finger”
- “you cannot draw on the canvas or add arrows between sibling nodes”
OPML import/export is the sleeper feature: users pipe ChatGPT output into mind maps via OPML 2.0 and rave about it. Cheap differentiator on-device.
- “why was there not a clear button to add an image like the one to add text”
- “the both imported and camera images are super bad”
- “image quality when saving to image is pretty poor (looks fuzzy)”
Decent image nodes and high-resolution export (PDF/PrintKit, PDFKit) at 2x/3x scale is a low-effort polish win.
1인이 만들 수 있나
개발 난이도와 리스크를 분해
Buildable solo in 3 months if you stay iOS-only with iCloud sync and skip AI generation. Canvas rendering, node editing, and OPML import are the real work; everything else is polish. Do not attempt a web version.
만든다면, 이렇게
1페이지 기획서 (출발점, 정답 아님)
A fast, no-subscription mind mapper for iPhone and iPad that never loses your work
Students, writers, and ADHD/visual thinkers who want to dump thoughts quickly and pick them up on any Apple device
Users fear data loss, hate paying separately per device, and hit paywalls or greyed-out toolbars before the app proves itself
- ·AI mind-map generation
- ·Team collaboration / real-time multiplayer
- ·Subscription pricing
Free app that creates, edits, and exports one mind map with auto-save, undo history, and OPML import, sold against SimpleMind's sync and deletion complaints
Free tier with unlimited maps but limited export; one-time universal unlock (~$9.99) for all export formats, themes, and custom styles
솔직한 경고
이 기회의 가장 큰 함정
The top apps already own user trust at 4.5+ ratings, so shipping without bulletproof undo and auto-save gets you SimpleMind's worst reviews without its decade of goodwill.
