Tinderbox 5 is fast. It’s based on a new compiler, new libraries, and new development platform. It’s a universal binary. In addition, numerous under-the-hood improvements make Tinderbox 5 faster than ever.

New text engine supports beautiful font rendering plus highlighting, strikethrough, super- and subscripts, and indented paragraphs.

Unicode note names and text give you access to thousands of symbols and a host of languages.

Outlines can have checkboxes. Your agents and rules can use the checkbox state to gather and organize your notes, exactly the way you like.

Multiple-column views provide new flexibility for inspecting, reviewing, and revising your notes.

Inspectors let you change the properties of notes more quickly, easily, and naturally.

Get past boxes and arrows. New note shapes, dashed borders, and translucent notes in maps.

Faster and more legible chart view
