Tana for Desktop
The dedicated desktop app for Tana. Available on Mac, Windows and Linux.
Overview
Tana's dedicated desktop app does everything your Tana on a browser does, but it doesn't require the browser to stay open in order to work.

Browser vs. App
Tana's desktop app is the same experience as on the browser, but now in an independent window.
Desktop app options
Access to the app Options (which is different from your Tana account settings) depends on which platform you're using:
- Mac: Always visible in the top bar
- Windows: Unhide it by hitting the Alt key
Global voice recording
The desktop app has a system-wide shortcut for recording voice notes to Tana. The default for this is Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+E, and this can be changed in the Options menu > Customize keybindings (see above). Like voice recordings from Tana Capture, recordings end up in the Inbox, transcribed and ready to be actioned.
Spell check
Turn this on or off by going to the Options menu > Toggle spellchecker (see above)
Open Tana link defaults
To change whether Tana links open in the app or in browser by default, run the command Reset "Always open in..." preference and the next time you click on a Tana link, the browser will prompt you to choose.
System requirements
The requirements for Tana Desktop app are the same as for Chromium. You can check out the most up to date system requirements here.
