Tinderbox is a personal content management system and personal knowledge base.

Developer

Tinderbox was developed for Mac OS and Mac OS X by Mark Bernstein, Chief Engineer of Eastgate Systems.

Features

Its functions include storing and organizing notes, plans, and ideas, and sharing ideas through blogs.

It also offers functionality similar to that of outliner and spatial hypertext/mind mapping tools, in addition to knowledge management, database and agent (persistent search) tools.

  • As a personal web publishing system, with good support for blog creation and management
  • Personal information management
  • Outlining and mind mapping
  • Concept mapping
  • Note-taking
  • Plot and story construction and writing
  • Creating hypertexts
