“Tana operates in the sweet spot of outliners and databases, creating a new kind of flexibility that sometimes resembles magic.”
Alexander Rink
Computer scientist
“Tana's design reflects deep knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of existing connected outliner tools.”
Maggie Delano
Assistant Professor of Engineering
“In a sea of productivity tools, Tana stands out. It’s both powerful enough to help you track, study, process, and produce whatever you want to and it’s flexible enough for you to do it the way you think and do.”
Jill Prichard
Outline editor. The writing surface for clear thinking.
Feels like writing. Works like a knowledge graph. Start simple, end with a system that connects everything you know. Feather-light yet packed with power.
Start writing, structure follows
Tana's outline lets you start immediately without setup. Structure emerges naturally. No designing schemas upfront, no choosing between notes and databases.
The outline gives you both freeform writing and structured data at once.
Feels simple. Builds a knowledge graph.
See the big picture while keeping the details
The outline's infinite zoom controls what you see. Zoom in to focus on one item and everything else disappears. Zoom out to see how it all connects.
When you have 200 notes, you can see one or see them all. The details are always there when you need them.
Zoom in to focus. Zoom out for context.
Structure information in a flash
The outline makes shaping information effortless. Move items to explore how ideas relate. Indent to nest, outdent to separate. Create relationships instantly.
Stop duplicating information, start reusing knowledge. Information can grow in multiple places at once. Update it anywhere and it updates everywhere. No rigid folders, no duplicate information to keep in sync.
A tool that helps you think.
A flexible foundation for real knowledge work
Way beyond a simple outline
Work the way you think
No setup. Just start writing.
