​Command nodes let you build custom automations to enhance your workflows in Tana. Process information and extract insights, move nodes, set fields and tags automatically.

The Tana sidebar just got a major upgrade. It’s now fully resizable, can be collapsed for complete focus, and gives you more control over what shows up at the top.

Most journaling captures moments in isolation; useful in the present, but hard to return to, hard to build upon, and hard to turn into something cumulative. In this session, we’ll explore how to build a review workflow in Tana that turns daily writing into clarity over time; moving from raw notes to weekly reflections, to emerging themes, and into a structure that grows with you.

These monthly updates give you a window into what's happening at Tana; features we're building, improvements we're making, and the thinking behind where we're taking the product. This November we're delivering on some of the navigation improvements we previewed last month, shipping a game-changing image generation capability, and continuing our work to make Tana the best place to work with AI.

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.

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.
