Tana - Put your notes to work with voice and AI

This is the personal knowledge management system that finally worked for me--I've tried Obsidian and found it inaccessible and difficult, messed around with other PKMs, and Tana just clicked. I've been running around describing it as "the best database software you've ever SEEN!" to everyone I know for months during the beta. But that's an inadequate description. It's not just PKM, and it's not just a database, and it's not just project management software, though it does all that. It's finding information I vaguely remember having read last year, saving protocols that worked and then one-click duplicating them into templates I can write and take notes in so I can do that process again, FINDING the darn protocol, because I am not an organized person, and yes, the petty little delight of pinning heading banners that make me smile to the tops of sections. Best of all, I don't actually have to be organized, because you can @ a node (everything is a node--basically a database entry you can tag, or not, and categorize by putting it under a section header, or not) from anywhere, and it will reference it. Not duplicate it (though you can make it do that too), but reference it so when you edit it one place, you edit it everyplace. It exists somewhere, and you can see it anywhere. This apparently matches the way my brain works, and not a lot of software does. So this is knowledge management for the hyperorganized and the chronically disorganized alike.

I love Tana! They keep adding awesome features. 🥳 Been my fav for a long time, and the integration of AI is stellar. All that's left for me to be happy is letting me put newlines in a block 🥲

What are the LLM(s) are you guys using?

Tana is a really amazing product, bringing new concepts, ideas, interfaces to the PKM landscape. Helps you think in a certain unique way, since its designed for flow state in mind as well. I truly believe the team will come up with more innovation in the space going forward. And lots to be excited about for all of us! All the best for 2025 and beyond, Tana! Grateful to be part of the journey.

I've been using Tana as my main workspace for organizing my life, tasks, projects, calendar, notes, and even recipes and invoices for a year and a half. I regularly experiment with combinations of other tools for a few days to see how I would manage if Tana didn't exist. The simple answer is: I couldn't. The way Tana works has permanently changed how my mind works, and everything else is a source of frustration. No other app gives you this level of freedom. While the AI and voice features are, admittedly, very nice to have (I initially didn't think I'd use voice input, but it turned out to be a need I didn't know I had), Tana's core strength is its frictionless nature. You simply write and tag. You don't need to have structures already in place for emerging uses: Tana allows you to build whatever properties and searches you need on the fly. Everything is simple, fluid, and easy. And if you want to go all out with commands and AI, you can. I can't express how central this tool has become in my life, and I can't recommend it enough.

🚀 Tana – A Revolutionary Knowledge Management Tool! After years of trying countless note-taking apps, I always encountered the same problem: either they were too rigid, like Notion, or too scattered, like Google Docs. But Tana is different! 🎯 🔥 SuperTags let you organize data flexibly without being constrained by a fixed structure. 🔗 Quickly link information, creating a true "digital brain" rather than just a storage space. ⚡ No block limitations like Notion – freely structure and arrange everything the way you want. If you're a content creator, a knowledge systematization enthusiast, or still searching for the perfect note-taking app, Tana will surely surprise you! 👏 Don't miss out—try it now and experience the difference! 🚀💡

Congrats on the launch, Olav! I love the focus on reducing context switching and streamlining workflows. Tana could really help teams and individuals stay in the flow without getting bogged down by switching between apps. Wishing you success.

I've been using Tana for the past two years and as a person with ADHD, this app has been a lifesaver. I use it every day to track all of my daily activities, my work tasks, my upcoming events, notes from client meetings, and everything that keeps my personal life on track too. I'm self-employed, and with ADHD, that means staying on task and on time requires a reliable system, which I've been able to build using Tana. I had tried several other apps over the years but had the most success with the Bullet Journal; however, the time involved with needing to rewrite undone tasks each day was frustrating and I longed for a digital version that would let me easily reorganize and find the information I captured. When I discovered Tana, I knew I had found the solution I needed. Many note-taking or time management apps require you to fit into a specific system, which is something that can be difficult for an ADHD brain that doesn't fit well into neurotypical systems. By being able to build a system that works specifically for me, I'm able to focus on those things that are most important for MY life rather than trying to fit into a system designed by a person who doesn't have the same struggles. Voice capture makes it easy to talk through a topic or a challenge, and the built-in AI helps me figure out what I'm trying to articulate. I can use it to let my mind wander and capture those fleeting thoughts that might be useful sometime down the road, or to make sure I make it to my appointments on time. I have to give a huge shout-out to the Tana Ambassadors; the courses and templates they have created have made a huge difference in helping me create my system. I highly recommend watching all the recent videos and finding a guide within the ambassador community to get the most out of the system. And speaking of community, Tana's Slack community has been welcoming and helpful. We even have a channel specifically for neurodivergent brains. 🧠 It's been a fascinating journey to watch this app develop, and I'm excited to see where it go from here; the openness of Tana's exemplary team to implement suggestions from the community have been a big part of its evolution. Overall, Tana is the tool I wish I had found long ago! 🚀

Tana is the best note-taking app I've used and actually stuck with. Keep up the great work!

Great to see Tana launching here! I've been a very happy user from the very beginning, coming from Roam and Obsidian, and I rarely ever leave Tana. It provides incredible scaffolding for work tasks, personal and work projects, learning material, and more - just about everything I do lives in Tana in some form. Happy to see you guys here and to see the continued growth of the community!
