Your fastest path back to the work that matters

The Tana sidebar just got a major upgrade. It’s now fully resizable, can be collapsed for complete focus, and gives you more control over what shows up at the top.

These monthly updates give you a window into what's happening at Tana; features we're building, improvements we're making, and the thinking behind where we're taking the product. This November we're delivering on some of the navigation improvements we previewed last month, shipping a game-changing image generation capability, and continuing our work to make Tana the best place to work with AI.

Tana now supports the newest frontier AI models from Google, Anthropic and OpenAI, and makes them available across commands, chats, agents, and your knowledge graph workflows. You can choose the exact model and reasoning level you want, compare models side by side, and use web search in every model for fresh, reliable information.

Tana now shows progress bars directly in your sidebar, giving you a fast visual signal of how your work is moving forward. This update builds on Tana’s core task management model, where every checkbox lives inside a connected outliner and progress bars automatically will update for sub-tasks.

Tana for iOS and Android now lets you add widgets to the home screen for instant capture of voice memos, notes and images - with the supertags you use the most. In addition, the iOS app now includes deep integrations with Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight search, and Control Centre, letting you record, write, and organize thoughts instantly from anywhere on your phone.

Each month we share what we’re working on, what’s about to ship, and where we’re headed next. These updates represent our current work in motion along with reflections about Tana’s direction. This October brings offline mode, navigation updates, expanded free plan features, and a look at our long-term thinking on the role of AI agents.

We’re excited to share that all Free plan users now get 500 AI credits every month - enough for around 100 minutes of meeting transcription. With this change, every Tana user can experience the power of AI in their daily workflows, from transcribing meetings to turning rough notes into structured insights.

Most student tools capture information but don’t help you connect it or make it useful when you need it. That’s where Tana comes in. It’s a free workspace designed to be your study hub, where AI helps you transcribe lectures, organize research, and keep deadlines on track.

Tana Publish now lets viewers interact with your shared content exactly as it appears in your workspace, seeing supertags and fields, expanding bullets, zooming into details, and navigating hierarchical structures, all without needing a Tana account. This transforms static knowledge sharing into dynamic thought exploration, allowing the reader to explore the relationship between notes.

The next generation of AI is here. Tana now supports GPT-5, GPT-5 Mini, and GPT-5 Nano — bringing faster, more accurate, and more structured AI assistance directly into your knowledge workflows. Whether you're transcribing meetings, working on ideas, or building complex automations, these new models make it easier to think, act, and stay in flow. Tana lets you use 20 models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, directly where your notes live.

2024 was a transformative year for Tana. If you’ve stepped away for a while — or even if you’ve just missed a few updates — now’s the perfect time to dive back in. From deep mobile capabilities to game-changing AI workflows, we’ve shipped dozens of new features to help you think better, move faster, and stay in flow. Here’s a comprehensive look at everything that’s new in Tana.

Looking for the best meeting notetaking AI app that helps you stay focused, follow up effectively, and doesn’t clutter your meetings with bots?

Tabs are now enabled by default in the Tana Desktop app, giving you a more flexible, focused way to navigate your work without breaking your flow.

One of the most common questions we hear from new users evaluating Tana is: "Can I get my data out if I ever leave?" It’s a fair, and important, question. Whether you’re backing up your notes, migrating to another system, or just want peace of mind, you should never feel locked in to a tool. We’re excited to say: Tana now fully supports exporting your content. With flexible options for exporting, downloading, and copying, you can move your data however you need - on your terms.

At Tana, we believe great tools should bend to your brain, not the other way around. By expanding your model options, you can now tailor the AI's behavior to fit the exact kind of thinking, writing, or problem-solving you need — whether it's deep reasoning, rapid idea generation, lightweight drafting, or high-stakes execution. Each model has its own strengths, and now you’re in charge of choosing the right one for the moment.
