Tana - Put your notes to work with voice and AI

What the team at @Tana has built is nothing short of revolutionary. As someone who has extensively experimented with virtually every personal knowledge management tool on the market - from Evernote to Capacities to Logseq to Roam Research, Tana stands in a league of its own. It's the only system I know of that has the ability to comfortably house any type of information I want to store. Prior to discovering Tana, my experience with PKM tools was consistently frustrating and felt constraining. I ended up with notes across dozens of tools, creating a hard to retrieve entangled mess of information that was absolutely crippling to my productivity.. Tana is the first tool that truly adapts to how my brain works, rather than forcing me to adapt to it. Its insane flexibility combined with its structured approach has allowed me to finally take control of my thought processes and knowledge management in a way that is hard to describe without experiencing it. And I have truly only scratched the surface of its incredible capabilities. While traditional note-taking apps are more like building an enterprise applications with just HTML, Tana enables you to actually "code" your thinking process through its ability to build compound structures, create reusable thought patterns, and link ideas programmatically – all while scaling with complexity. Its similar to how MacOS serves as the operating system while Python is used to program it. It's a transformative paradigm shift because once you learn to "code" your thoughts using Tana's framework, you will unlock entirely new ways of thinking that weren't previously possible with conventional note-taking methods. If other PKM tools are like standard vehicles, Tana is a Ferrari: precision-engineered, high-performance, and designed for those who demand the absolute best!!

First: Tana. Is. Incredible. I coach productivity, and I’ve used a few different tools over the years. From 2014 to 2020, I ran GTD in Todoist. Solid task management, but I needed my notes and tasks together—so I jumped to Roam Research. For two and a half years, I loved how Roam let my work emerge naturally, but I hit a wall: I couldn’t capture and surface structure easily. Before I launch into why I love Tana, here’s why capturing structure is so important to me. My approach to productivity—Action-Powered Productivity—is bottom-up, not top-down. Instead of chasing big-picture goals and trying to reverse-engineer my way there, I take action now, then refine. If I know I’ll do something again, I ask: How can I do it better next time? That’s how I build recurring tasks, templates, automations—little improvements that stack until my work is radically more efficient and effective. And when my systems are dialed in, I finally have the bandwidth to see the bigger picture—who am I in my work? What roles truly matter? And how can they guide me toward more fulfilling action? On September 19, 2022 (yes, I remember the date!), I got a demo of Tana—and instantly, I knew. I’d found the promised land. Tana still let my action emerge, but now I could capture the structure of what worked and surface it exactly when I needed it. Notes, tasks, projects, roles—everything was easy to implement and even easier to improve as I worked. And Tana didn’t box me in—it adapted to me. For my productivity approach, that’s life-changing. I built fully functional recurring tasks using Tana’s powerful commands (I have a free template for that if you want it). I laid out projects the way I need to see them. I designed dashboards so I could surface what matters when I need it—and more importantly, hide what I don’t, so I can stay focused. That’s my story in Tana, but it can support anyone’s way of working. Whether you’re managing knowledge, running a business, or, like me, engineering the most frictionless productivity system possible, Tana is the tool for the job. Tana doesn’t just let structure emerge. It lets you harness it. That’s why Tana is the tool for me. I created a free YouTube playlist called Essential Tana Skills for people who want a quick intro to Tana fundamentals. You can check it out here: https://rjn.st/essential-tana-sk.... I'm adding even more videos over the next 10 days or so, to celebrate Tana bursting onto the world scene!

Loved @daginge demo'ing the inner working live at our latest AI meetup. Hyped! :)

Superb tool - more than an outliner note-taker - Tana is my daily go-to, flexible companion, a beautifully designed contemporary commonplace book powered by AI.

Lucky day for everyone who discovers Tana today! The ONE product that adapts to how I think and work (opposed to all others for which I had to adapt my workflows). Yes, there is a little learning curve to it, but start simple, keep at it and it'll change everything for you! Thank you so much for building this incredible platform. 🙏 All the best for the launch and keep up the amazing work!

I have been using Tana since late-November 2022 and I wouldn't be able to function without it. It is a huge part of a small daily toolkit I rely upon to function - email, Slack (for work), my calendar (which integrates with Tana), and Tana (for work, knowledge management, and creative projects). Tana is also the portal through which most of my AI experimentation has taken place. At this point, it feels less like a second brain, and more like just a vital extension of the first one. The speed of its development and the community they've built will be a case study in business schools someday. My advice: get started using it or fall behind. Because you'll soon be wondering how your successful colleagues and competitors are able to accomplish so much. They may or may not care enough about you to share their secret, but I will: they use Tana.

I've been using Tana in the last year. I dramatically improved my productivity and creativity - and it's super fun. Congratulations and all the best @olav_sindre_kriken & team

My whole life runs in Tana, powerful and beautiful too

Congrats on the launch Team Tana! 🚀

Best productivity tool, I have been working with. Its platform character makes it incredible flexible. There is hardly a task that cannot be done in Tana. Thumbs up! Great work!
