TinderBox is just the best TinkingTool, i found,.
but sadly its for Windows only..

Im trying to search, get an app which has, many features as Tinderbox..

or Can even use, multiple + combination of apps, that together reflects Tinderbox.
and helps with thinking..

You meant not for Windows?

If you're looking for the closest thing to Tinderbox for Windows, I think that is still ConnectedText, even though that app hasn't been update for years.

Two more alternatives that run under Windows (and other OSs) are

Tiddlywiki www.tiddlywiki.com
and
Zim Wiki https://zim-wiki.org

I have used both for years. Zim Wiki is the more traditional of the two but immensely powerful out of the box and steadily developed.

Tiddlywiki on the other hand....don't let the beautiful looks deceive you, it is easy to believe that the few and purposeful looking buttons are all there is to it. Tiddlywiki is got to be one of the most malleable apps out there, there is almost nothing Tiddlywiki cannot be morphed into - a similarity it shares with Tinderbox BTW.

Oh, and of course org mode (https://orgmode.org if the prospect of using emacs does not send shivers down your spine already, that is.

(Three, three alternatives. But no one expects the Spanish Inquisition, right?)

You might look at Roam Research and Obsidian as well as Dynalist and Workflowy. Each is a bit different, but I think you can do many similar things with them.

As a programmable outliner, I'd say InfoQube comes closest. In fact, I'd say Tinderbox and Infoqube are each in classes of their own for their respective OSes. But of course it depends on your use case.
