Tana

Tana is the only product that delivers on: using node objects for object-oriented knowledge graph, custom commands with node buttons, somewhat of an automation experience, usable mobile experience.

The ai integration is a real gamechanger. Also the graph database with perfect integrated „supertags“. That is really really matching my kind of thinking.

Far more powerful and flexible.

I've used Obsidian for years. It's a superb PKM but for work notes the discoverabilty via Bases lags behind Tama

Tana is the one productivity tool I was looking for for a really long time. We're using it daily with my associate, and it helps us working together with our own favorite way of thinking : He prefer tree-view, I prefer visual one inside nodes. He likes to put everything in daily, I prefer to create my own views. Hard to collaborate when you look at existing productivity tools. That's before we'd discovered Tana, where we can work together with our productivity differences without being frustrated. A really smart solution. Thanks a lot for this and keep up the good work! 🚀

Tana: The PKM + Task Manager That Finally Gets Meetings Right (and More!) I've been using Tana for almost a month, and it's been a game-changer. As a senior executive, 40% of my time is spent in meetings, so I needed a Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and task management solution that could seamlessly integrate meeting information. Tana immediately stood out with its Meeting Agent and AI capabilities. What started as a trial has become a revelation! Tana isn't just for meetings; it's become my central hub for capturing everything from meeting notes to fleeting thoughts while driving or at home. Supertags are the backbone, making it incredibly easy to organize information in a structured way. I've barely scratched the surface of Tana's AI, but it's already tangibly boosted my productivity. • Meeting Notes Made Easy: Tana's meeting bot captures transcripts, summaries, and action items, saving me hours of post-meeting processing. • Effortless Organization: Supertags and autofill fields automatically organize captured information, connecting tasks to projects and people. • AI-Powered Productivity: Tana's AI agents act like custom GPTs, working with your notes in real-time to summarize, extract action items, and more. • Seamless Capture: Tana Capture lets me quickly jot down ideas, record voice memos, and snap photos on my phone, sending them straight to my Tana inbox. Tana has transformed how I manage information and tasks. If you're looking for a PKM that can truly handle the demands of a busy professional life, give Tana a try!.

Incredibly powerful! The ONE product that adapts to how I think and work! Capture ideas from anywhere AND resurface anything where ever you'll need it (without having to build that structure first). The beauty is: you can just start on a blank page every day and let the structure follow or adapt however you need it to work for you. I have a rule when testing new software: never get too attached. Most tools overpromise, underdeliver, or simply don’t fit into my workflow long-term. When I first tried Tana, I assumed it would be another temporary experiment. That was nearly two years ago.

I started using Tana in Fall 2022 while prepping for the LSAT, and it quickly became an essential part of my workflow—first for exam prep, and now for managing law school, personal projects, and business operations. What sets Tana apart is its structured flexibility—it’s powerful enough to handle complex case law and IRAC briefings, yet intuitive enough for daily task and project management. Live search, Supertags, and AI features keep everything connected without extra effort. I’ve tested countless PKM tools, but Tana is the only one I trust to keep up with my work. If you need an all-in-one knowledge and task management system, this is it.

As a Tana Navigator from Catalonia who has been deeply involved with the community since the early days, I'm thrilled to witness this milestone launch! Having experienced firsthand the evolution from a small group of early adopters to today's vibrant community of 25,000+ members, I've seen how Tana has revolutionised the way we handle information, particularly in my work bridging the digital transformation gap in the AEC industry. What makes Tana truly exceptional isn't just its powerful features or flexible knowledge graph—it's how it seamlessly combines unstructured thinking with structured data management, making it an invaluable tool for professionals across industries. As an architect and digital transformation consultant, I've found in Tana the missing piece that allows us to build robust knowledge management systems while maintaining the creative flexibility needed in modern business environments.

Tana is the best tool I've used for bottom-up note-taking. With most objects being nodes, I don't have to worry about whether I should convert a note into a document or folder. This allows for a significantly more flexible structure that's great for supporting my thinking. This flexible structure doesn't stop at the inter-node level, as the ability to add not just reference backlinks, but supertag backlinks as well, allows sentences to function like structural frameworks. Further, because of Tana's supertags, I don't have to manually maintain node metadata properties the way I'd have to maintain frontmatter in a document. For anyone who's thinking about giving Tana a shot, but isn't quite sure where to start, I have three main recommendations: 1. Focus on the home node that's created for you automatically. One of the challenges I encountered when I first started using Tana was knowing where my nodes lived, so having some kind of hub to serve as a common starting point helped ground me. 2. Consider favoring supertags that declare types of nodes over ones that declare types of notes. This approach allows me to get away with only using a few tags to categorize my nodes. If you're not sure which node types to declare, a few of my favorites are #pro, #con, #update, #uncertainty, and #material. The first two make it easy to do some casual sentiment analysis of notes (like a note vibe check). The #update tag is great for little ad-hoc progress reports. #uncertainty is for questions or information I'm not sure is correct. This tag extends my #task tag, which allows me to check off information that I have become certain of; however, I like leaving the uncertainty tags to maintain a record of gaps in my knowledge that have since been filled. #material is a generic "object" tag for practically everything from concepts to video games. This tag is useful for declaring which node is the true representation of something. For instance, if you have five nodes that all say "The Office", but only one that has the material tag, you'll know which one to link to if you're trying to reference that show. As an aside, I tend to not assign more than one tag to a node, except for when the second tag is a #task tag. I don't actually manage my tasks in Tana, but use the task tag for nodes that contain information related to tasks in my todo list. 3. Beware of unnecessarily linking to a high-level topical node just because you typed its name (e.g., "#update I've been working on my [[productivity]] systems as of late."). I often backlinked this way while using Obsidian and it resulted in a rat's nest of references that didn't give me a better sense of my understanding of a topic. In many cases, I can just create a search node that searches for all mentions of a topic (e.g., "productivity") if I need this kind of information. Bonus Tip: I've enjoyed using Tana to create outline representations of things I'm trying to make sense of, such as a character's move set in Tekken 8 or the homework questions in a programming assignment. I can reference components of these outlines to indicate which specific part of the reference material I'm referring to. A common note-taking tip I've heard over the years is to take notes in your own words, but I've found that starting with this advice just results in me becoming a thesaurus without actually gaining a better understanding of whatever it is that I'm studying. However, refactoring source material actually tends to help me better understand what I'm studying by giving me a greater sense of ownership over it, as one typically feels after building anything themself. Obscure, Miscellaneous Usage Tips - Shift Click: Get an in-line card displaying information contained within node referenced - Command Option Down: Expand Node without exposing any preexisting children (especially useful for nodes with a lot of children) - Command C (with cursor in a field header) -> Command V within a new field: To copy a preexisting field to a different supertag (for avoiding field redundancy)
