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.

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.

The next generation of AI is here. Tana now supports GPT-5, GPT-5 Mini, and GPT-5 Nano — bringing faster, more accurate, and more structured AI assistance directly into your knowledge workflows. Whether you're transcribing meetings, working on ideas, or building complex automations, these new models make it easier to think, act, and stay in flow. Tana lets you use 20 models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, directly where your notes live.

2024 was a transformative year for Tana. If you’ve stepped away for a while — or even if you’ve just missed a few updates — now’s the perfect time to dive back in. From deep mobile capabilities to game-changing AI workflows, we’ve shipped dozens of new features to help you think better, move faster, and stay in flow. Here’s a comprehensive look at everything that’s new in Tana.

Tana now lets you transcribe meetings, generate summaries, and link notes directly to your work - without needing to add a bot in the call.

We are on a mission to reinvent how humans, teams, and computers work together. That requires an extraordinary team.

Looking for the best meeting notetaking AI app that helps you stay focused, follow up effectively, and doesn’t clutter your meetings with bots? Meet the Tana Meeting Notetaker - a smarter, faster way to take notes that actually fit into your workflow. Whether you’re a project manager, a team lead, or running interviews, Tana makes meeting notetaking effortless - with AI transcription that works in real time, without needing a bot to join your call.

Tired of piecing together tools just to get a decent workflow? Workflows don’t need to start from scratch every time. The Template Store is a new way to install live, composable workflows inside your Tana workspace.

If you've ever wondered how to open multiple notes at once, avoid losing your place when switching between views, or multitask more efficiently in Tana - the answer is Tabs. Tabs are now enabled by default in the Tana Desktop app, giving you a more flexible, focused way to navigate your work without breaking your flow.

One of the most common questions we hear from new users evaluating Tana is: "Can I get my data out if I ever leave?" It’s a fair, and important, question. Whether you’re backing up your notes, migrating to another system, or just want peace of mind, you should never feel locked in to a tool. We’re excited to say: Tana now fully supports exporting your content. With flexible options for exporting, downloading, and copying, you can move your data however you need - on your terms.

At Tana, we believe great tools should bend to your brain, not the other way around. By expanding your model options, you can now tailor the AI's behavior to fit the exact kind of thinking, writing, or problem-solving you need — whether it's deep reasoning, rapid idea generation, lightweight drafting, or high-stakes execution. Each model has its own strengths, and now you’re in charge of choosing the right one for the moment.
