Daily page. Like a magical notebook.

Start every day in Tana with a fresh blank page. It's the place you can do all your work from: plan your day, keep track of your habits, see all tasks due today, and quickly jot down notes on anything and everything. Use with Supertags and Search, and you're guaranteed to never lose anything again (in Tana at least).

Finally, your stray thoughts have a place to go.

Maintain focus by using the daily page as a place to save things for later. In the middle of one thing but had a brilliant thought related to another thing? Use Quick Add to quickly save that thought to your daily page, for later processing. Even better, use Supertags to send your thoughts to their right place, instantly.

Every day starts with a clean canvas, ready to get messy with you.

There's nothing like starting the day with a clean countertop. No need to feel guilty about cleaning up from last night, because Tana gives you a brand new go at things every day – no questions asked! Bring over only what you need from previous days, so you can focus on just that. References ensure you're working on the same things no matter what day you choose to work on it.

Use the daily page to create and maintain focus.

The daily page is your partner in creating and maintaining focus. It receives anything, and can be anything that you need it to be for today. Use the supertag template to create focus by assembling your most important tasks, the projects you want to focus on, your agenda for the day. Make your daily page your daily driver.

Questions and answers

  • Can I open the day node of another workspace by default?

    It is not possible to change which workspace's day node you open by default; it is fixed to your private workspace's day node.

    However, open the sidebar and hold Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) whilst clicking on a workspace in your sidebar to open its day node for today.

  • How can I setup Unsplash banners on my daily notes?

    It is currently possible to plug in your own Unsplash API key which gives you access to their images for the banners of your daily notes page.

    PS. This is an experimental feature; it might change in the future.

  • How can I get the Task list on my daily notes (back again)?

    You may have seen a Tana setup that had a task list on the daily notes page, or even had one from early prototypes from us, and it somehow disappeared now.

    There is a simple way to get it back.

    Go to any daily note, and make a search that looks for:

    1. all #task nodes
    2. NOT DONE

    Run it to confirm it's fetching the right things.

    Adjust how you want your tasks to look (Set all view options here, like Display, Group, Sort options)

    Confirm changes to the view options and the query. Right-click on the title of the search, and select Move to Related content.
