Any figure on a Curio map (they’re called “idea spaces”) can have text associated with it, which is added / edited in a “figure notes” panel. The figure notes panel is an always-on-top window so you can give another app the focus and copy text or take notes from a PDF or a web page, etc. When the pointer hovers over a figure with notes, the notes are shown in a tool tip. One or more figures can be selected and then exported, with notes, using macOS Share Extensions to another application.
This image shows the Figure Notes panel for a selected figure, and the text in another figure displayed while hovering the pointer over it.

Paul,
that’s what I am looking for in a Windows app. I have both licenses for Tinderbox and Curio but the main part of my work takes place on Windows machines.

Some possibilities for Windows are (in my order of preference):
Southbeach Modeller (Windows-only)
Insight Maker (web based)
ThinkComposer (Windows-only)

Thanks, Paul. I’ll take a look.

It’s not a popular option but I’ve always preferred the now abandonware Compendium due to it’s shortcut keys that make composing quick and easy comparison maps.
Another windows software I use that isn’t popular is Treesheets. I can basically add my rhyme and reasoning underneath each entry and even zoom in using (if I remember correctly) the ctrl + up and down buttons.
For web apps, you can use the If Formula capacity of Airtable, the multiple highlights, hoisting and tagging of the paid version of Dynalist or you can use Arguman for analysis and GingkoApp for collecting data.
None of these could replace paper space though but combined, each can replicate a comparison chart.
