Tana now supports the newest frontier AI models from Google 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.

Come along to see us build some of the most useful live searches. We'll build 10 of the most common and valuable live searches so you can follow along and see exactly how to build them. Then we'll take requests!

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. Turn quick notes, voice memos, or tasks into connected knowledge with zero friction.

Most people organize information the only way they’ve been taught: lists, folders, outlines, buckets. That works until reality stops being simple; when people play multiple roles, assignments and responsibilities overlap, and relationships aren’t neatly hierarchical. At that point, lists tangle, categories collide, and structure breaks down. This session will explore how to model that kind of relational complexity in Tana, using structure that adapts as connections shift, rather than collapsing when things become interconnected.

Yes, Tana now works offline. You can now use Tana even when you’re completely offline. Whether you’re traveling, in a meeting with poor coverage, or just want to stay focused without Wi-Fi, your knowledge graph is always with you.

​Once your notes have structure with supertags and fields, something powerful becomes possible: information surfaces exactly when and where you need it. Live search finds what you're looking for across your entire workspace. Views transform those results instantly into the format that fits. Together, they enable contextual retrieval that updates as your work evolves.

Tana is one of the most powerful knowledge management tools I have used. But sometimes all those powerful features can overshadow just how simple it can be to get started. And I guarantee that most people are overthinking it from the very start.

We all collect things, not just objects, but experiences, ideas, and patterns. Maybe it’s the movies you’ve watched, the books that shaped you, or the recipes you keep rediscovering.

Supertags and fields help you define what your notes represent. This note is a task. That one is a person. This is a book you're reading. Once you tag them, you can instantly find all your tasks, all your meeting notes, or all your project ideas – no matter where they live in your workspace. They are flexible and let you add the details that matter in a structured manner: due dates, status, ratings, relationships, etc.

Tana can help you through every workday. From planning your day and capturing ideas with voice memos on mobile during your commute, to creative writing and deep work, sharing notes and getting help from AI when you need it.

Whether you’re a book writer, blogger, filmmaker, or YouTuber, you need a place to riff freely without losing the plot. In this session, we’ll demo a workflow that turns fragments into structure and keeps threads alive. No contradicted world-building, no dropped subplots, no scattered docs.

Join Ev Chapman for our weekly Beginner Drop in Session. Come and learn Tana, see what can be done, and hang out with other Tanarians.

​The Dreamforce week can be intense. Tana Kafé offers a pause: a Scandinavian-inspired space with coffee, calm, and community.

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 hosting the very first Tana Kafé, a casual space to hang out, caffeinate, and see how Tana can make studying easier and more flexible.

Conferences, IRL events, and meetups generate a flood of ideas, insights, and connections. But what happens after you leave the room? Too often, notes get buried in a doc, new contacts vanish into LinkedIn, and the real value of the event is lost.

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 tools force you into rigid folders or endless note streams where ideas get lost. Tana’s Outliner and node structure work differently: they let you capture ideas quickly, structure them naturally, and connect them across contexts without duplication. We'll cover these essential features and dive into the underlying concepts that make them powerful.

​This session is about building a Focus Dashboard: a living system that ties together your areas, projects, actions, and reviews into one adaptable flow.

When you click to stop transcription, Tana can run a post processing command. The post processing command is set up under the audio-enabled toggle in the supertag configuration.

Make meetings meaningful. ​This session will focus on how executives can capture the flow of decisions from meetings, and connect them to the KPIs and outcomes that matter.

In this session we build out a full study hub to track courses, assignments, exam questions and more. So you can stay on top of everything, and focus on learning!

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.

You sit through hours of lectures every week, frantically typing notes while trying to keep up. By exam time, you're staring at scattered docs and forgotten screenshots, wondering how any of this connects. What if your notes could work as hard as you do?

We’re back with another live build - this time focused on how teams keep track of shared assets and updates, and surface the right information to the right people.

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.

Publish a node from your workspace as an interactive web page that anyone can view and navigate without a Tana account.

In this video, we go from using the basic features of Tana, to advanced setups with live searches, multiple supertags and dashboards tailored to your needs.
