## Developer

Tinderbox was developed for Mac OS and Mac OS X by Mark Bernstein,[2] Chief Engineer of Eastgate Systems.[3][4]

## Features

Its functions include storing and organizing notes, plans, and ideas, and sharing ideas through blogs.[5]

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.

Tinderbox is used for a wide variety of tasks:

* As a personal web publishing system, with good support for blog creation and management [6]
* Personal information management [7]
* Outlining and mind mapping[8]
* Concept mapping
* Note-taking[9]
* Plot and story construction and writing[10]
* Creating hypertexts
