Map is built exclusively for the Mac, and comes with a Quick Look plugin to preview your map files, collaboration via iCloud Drive, and everything you'd expect from a native app.

Free, Free, & Free.

Map is cost-free, tracker-free, and free/libre software. No subscription, no account, no data collected, and licensed under AGPL 3.0, so it stays free.

Map lets you customize the fonts and background in your map, and allows you to add custom templates for recurring starting points, and add your own stages of evolution for specialized analysis.

No lock-in, only text.

Tools should work for you, and that's why map uses plain text files, and exports to widely supported image formats. But just to be sure, you have access to wmap tools that expand what you can do with your maps.
