Release notes

2025 / wk 34 / v. 454-456

  • NewThe same node can now be open in multiple tabs.
  • ImprovedBetter transcription model which supports 60 most common languages, very good at recognizing language switching and automatically choosing correct language. Used both for live transcription in app and from mobile capture. Non-supported languages in app fall back to Whisper (if you set it with Set default transcription language command).
  • ImprovedField descriptions on card grouping columns and table columns are now shown as a little ?, hover to read.
  • FixedFixed transcription formatting and improved accuracy for Chinese language input.
  • FixedGrouping by the Done system field or by checkbox fields will now display only Yes and No options (as these are the only valid values).
  • FixedPublished pages will open correctly in the browser when accessed on Android device.
  • FixedFixed sorting disabled for nodes that don't have fields, even if there are system field that can be be used for sorting.
  • FixedLong-pressing a node to copy text on Android will now copy all visible content to the clipboard, not just the selected node. Expand nodes before copying to include their content in the copied text.

2025 / wk 33 / v. 450-453

  • NewGPT-5 models added to model picker in AI chat and commands. Three models with reasoning and web search capabilities: GPT-5, GPT-5 Mini and GPT-5 Nano.
  • ImprovedCode blocks/paste as code: Language picker only shown on hover, and you can type to search. Highlighting updates when you edit. Button to copy code.
  • ImprovedImprovement to grouping. When you choose a field to group by, the default is now "All groups" - any new groups will be automatically added. If you want to remove some groups, turn this off. Now, you need to manually specify which groups that should be shown.
  • ImprovedYou can now use sys:nodeId, sys:nodeURL or sys:tags on an ancestor node (using sys:owner one or multiple times). Use with Insert Tana Paste command to reference ancestor nodes, for example: [[^${sys:owner.sys:nodeId}]], or to include information in AI prompts.
  • ImprovedIncrease 'Ask AI about this content' context limits to handle chats with larger content nodes.
  • FixedFixed bug where web search was not working in prompt workbench (for supported models).
  • FixedFixed issue with AI: commands (like AI: Translate and AI: Explain) crashing. All quick AI commands in CMD+K should now work with selected nodes as context.

  • NewNew command node: Open node. Specify which node to open (current node, current day page, Library, Schema, Inbox, Source node, or any reference), and which panel position to open it in (current or new panel). Use the context node to specify which workspace the relative node lives in.

    • Live transcription
  • ImprovedWe’ve added a new default Auto option to Live transcriptions, which should work well in most cases.

English will always be added as an additional option no matter which language you choose.
    • Live transcription
  • ImprovedAction items and recognized entities produced by the text processing agent are now inserted as tag suggestions, giving the user better control of whether they are relevant or not. We also stop showing two suggestions if a node with a tag suggestion is inside a field with options from tag.

  • InfoAdvanced/hacker feature, comes with no guarantees: A node or supertag's Icon (that replaces the node bullet) can now take a Field definition, and it will use the field value as its avatar. Now; if any value put in the Icon field has its own icon, Tana will use the icon instead of the text in the status.
