Tinderbox 4: See what you can do

Tinderbox agents and rules let you gradually make your notes smarter, helping you to keep things organized and to discover new relationships.

Tinderbox 4 greatly extends and improves the range of things that rules and actions can do. You probably wont need all these abilities. Lot's of Tinderbox users wont need any of them. And that's fine!

It's nice to know they're available, just in case you need them.
