Sensemaker is a mind map that reads the structure of your thinking and turns it into clear writing. It helps you turn clusters, connections, and messy ideas into narratives, arguments, strategy docs, and research summaries, with multilingual + RTL support, collaboration, speech-to-text, and local-firstmmap support.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm eran, the maker of Sensemaker. Solo founder, a year in, shipping today.
Here's the honest pitch: don't open Sensemaker with nothing. Bring the conversation you keep avoiding, the strategy
call where three people are talking past each other, the decision you've been circling for two weeks. Bring the mess.
That's what it's for.
The story behind it is small. I'd come out of long brainstorms — alone or with a team — feeling productive because I
had 60 sticky notes. A week later I'd open the file and have no idea what we'd actually decided. The notes were the
exhaust, not the engine. The missing step wasn't more capture. It was seeing the shape of my own thinking — where it
was strong, where it was weak, what needed to move.
So Sensemaker isn't really a mind map. It's a canvas for spatial arguments. You lay out the moving parts of a tangled
situation — claims, counter-claims, evidence, people, options — and the structure becomes legible. Then you click
"Generate Story" and it reads the spatial structure you built (which boxes you grouped, which you connected, which you
exiled to the corner) and writes you back a 200-600 word narrative that names the themes, surfaces the tensions, and
ends with the conclusion your map was implicitly building toward.
The use case I'd actually pitch you today: prep for a hard conversation. A negotiation, a difficult 1:1, a board
meeting you're dreading. Dump the considerations onto the canvas. Cluster what belongs together. Let it tell you back
the shape of your position — including the part you've been avoiding.
A few specifics for the curious:
• Clustering algorithm groups nodes by spatial proximity before the AI ever sees them — the prompt receives clusters +
edges + text, not a flat blob.
• Selection-aware: highlight any subset of nodes and get a story about just those. Turns out to be the most-used
feature.
• Hebrew + English: detects the dominant language of your map and writes in it. RTL handled throughout.
• Speech-to-text in the brainstorm panel for people (like me) who think out loud.
• Real-time collab via Supabase, web + Electron desktop, .mmap files for local-first folks.
• Free tier, no credit card. Pro/Team unlock when you hit AI quotas.
What I'd love from you today:
1. Bring a real mess — a decision, an argument, a tangle you can't untie — and try the canvas on that. Not a toy
example.
2. Tell me what's broken. I read every comment and respond.
3. If it clicks, drop a note here on what you brought to it. That's gold for me.
Things I'm specifically curious about:
- Does the generated narrative feel like yours, or like a generic LLM summary?
- Does the spatial-clustering thing register as a real difference?
- Did the canvas surface something you hadn't already seen — the weak link, the missing piece, the part you'd been
avoiding?
- Where does it break?
Built in Israel. Shipped because of communities like this one.
Thank you for being here.

Small follow-up for the PH crowd 🎁
I just opened a code for everyone visiting from here:
MAKE-SENSE → 28 days of Pro, free, no card.
How it works: sign up (you'll auto-start a 14-day Pro trial), then in Pricing → paste MAKE-SENSE → the trial gets replaced with a
full 4 weeks of unlimited AI narrative generation, unlimited cloud maps, and the Conceptualize idea-extraction flow.
Capped at 1,000 redemptions. Active through June 27.
Try it on something real — a research session, a strategy doc, a messy brainstorm — and tell me what breaks. Every comment here
gets read.
