Files with the .XMIND extension contain data of various types saved in a folder in the form of sheets, and can include diagrams, charts, flows, Gantt charts, organizational charts, and diverse notes.

The files are used for recording the results of so-called brainstorms, organizational meetings, and project meetings. XMIND files are created in the XMind software, which lets its users easily save their ideas – or the results of brainstorm sessions. The files are used both for individual projects and for academical and business projects.
