Account settings

Your account settings and preferences in Tana

Basics

Account settings is where you control things on the account/browser level (as opposed to workspace level).

To find your account settings, click on the user icon in the bottom of the sidebar:

From the top:

  • Manage your account: Go here to manage your Tana subscription and billing details.
    • Subscription & payment information: see your plan, renewal date, make changes to your subscription or find past invoices.
    • AI credits: see how many AI credits are left in the monthly quota, buy top-up credits if needed.
    • Reset primary workspace: This will give you a clean start with the most recent pre-built configuration for new users. Your old workspace with all data will be moved to a secondary workspace so you can still access it.
    • Delete account: This will permanently delete your Tana account. WARNING: This is not reversible, it puts your email on a delete list and blocks it from getting a new account. If you want a fresh start, reset the primary workspace instead.
  • Settings: Preferences for your primary workspace; theme, calendar sync, date/time, move targets and more. See here for more.
  • Tana Labs: Occasionally, experimental features are released here and you can decide to enable/disable them.
  • API tokens: If you are a paid subscriber, you can create and refresh API tokens per workspace here. See here for more.
  • Import content: Options for importing content into Tana. See here for more.
  • Invite to Tana: Invites you have will show up here.
  • Report bug: The official way to log bugs to the Tana team. Opens a chat that guides you through the process.
  • Log out: Log out from your Tana account.
    • "web@XXX.XX.X": The client version number. For the latest release notes, see here.

Details

Manage account

This shows all the details and settings about your user account.

Subscription settings

You can see which plan you're on, when it renews and choose to change between monthly/yearly plan. You can also cancel or make changes to you billing information, or see past invoices.

AI credits

Paid plans include AI credits, which renew every month on the billing date (visible in subscription settings). In the account settings you can see how many credits you have used, how many are left and buy additional credits if needed.

Reset workspace

If you want a fresh start, you can reset your primary workspace.

  • This will move your existing primary workspace into a secondary workspace you can choose to add in the sidebar, so you'll keep all the data.
  • All sidebar items, pinned nodes and mounted workspaces will disappear.
  • If you have the calendar sync set up, it will continue to be active, and you will be asked in onboarding if you want to continue to sync it.

Delete account

This is only recommended if you are no longer planning to use Tana. After you set your account to delete, you will not be able to re-register for Tana with the same email without contacting support at hey@tana.inc.

Workspace Settings

You can also access the Settings via the command line: Open settings

This will open a new panel with your settings. These will vary based on features you have used in Tana, but below is a fairly average example of what it may look like:

Google Calendar integration

For more, see Calendar Integration.

Date/Time settings

Here you can set your Time Zone, Time format, and First day of the week preferences. They represent the account settings, and also your private workspace settings. When you are browsing another workspace with different settings, the times will be adjusted accordingly.

Time Zones use the international standard for setting timezones. See here for the official nomenclature of TZ.

Private keyboard shortcuts

Any custom keyboard shortcuts you have saved will appear here. See here for more on creating custom shortcuts.
