aTbRef is a free public resource and has been online continuously since April 2005.
As a reference file, aTbRef is explicitly and deliberately not a 'how-to' resource, i.e. it explains how parts of the app work rather than how to employ those app features in the context of a user's personal work tasks. The latter are questions that can be addressed by tutorials or in the user-to-user forums (more on other Tinderbox help resources).
aTbRef11 is baselined on v11.5.0b733 (released 18 December 2025) and includes changes up to and including v11.6.0b779 (26 Feb 2026). This web resource of c.2,500 discrete static HTML webpages is created from 3,011 discrete notes and a further 515 aliases within the source Tinderbox document. The overall number of notes (2,974), agents (151), adornments (4) and aliases (6,574) in the entire document comprises 9,703 items. These items contain 407,148 words, and use 6,225 internal (i.e. inter-note) links.
