I started using Tana about 2 years ago to track my daily thoughts, notes, and tasks, and I can honestly say it’s my favorite app that I’ve ever used. It’s as if it were designed for my brain. It’s so easy to enter whatever information you are thinking about, add whatever connections you care about, or no connections at all, and move on, knowing that you can always add more structure later as needed. I know that AI is all the rage these days. To be honest, when I first heard Tana was introducing AI I was skeptical. Why do I want an AI to help me take my own notes? But after using the a little bit, it feels like a smart autocomplete for my mind. For example, after brain dumping my thoughts about the latest Severance episode, in one click the AI generated a simple one line summary for the title of my node, to make it much simpler and easier to view in a list or table. The team and the community are incredible. As an example, I’m using Tana to manage my system notes for my bridge partnerships, and I was dismayed to see that the heart and spade Unicode characters rendered in black instead of red. This might sound like a minor thing, but any bridge player can tell you that visual clarity matters when you are studying your notes to prepare for the next tournament! I reported the bug and within a couple days Theo had it fixed! If you are reading this, please give Tana a chance! It really is a paradigm shift from other note taking and knowledge management software.
