Tana is the one app in the PKM space that I just can’t quit. And as someone with ADHD, that is a sad truth about me: I am forever on a quest for “the perfect app”. I have tried them all, and will continue to do so, because I cannot stop myself. But I’ve been using Tana for 2 years now during its early development, a personal record. I can't exactly explain why, either…just feels right for me. The community is great, the developers are fun and truly listen to the community, and the app is so vast I keep finding new things to try. I’ve always been drawn to systems like Ryder Carroll’s Bullet Journal, or apps embraced by the ADHD community like Amazing Marvin. Tana falls into the latter category, and the Tana Slack channel has connected me with fellow neurodivergent folks who have become friends. We meet every couple of weeks to share our Tana (and non-Tana) adventures…our meetups are sheer chaos, as you can imagine. We each use Tana differently, and that’s the beauty of it—it adapts to our unique brains and ever-changing needs. Tana is designed to be used from the “bottom up,” similar to Heptabase, Capacities, or Obsidian. Unlike Notion, you don’t have to start by building folders and databases. This is Tana’s magic for me. I know myself well enough to realize that if I don’t capture something immediately, it’s likely gone forever. With Tana, I jot things down via voice or text and do not worry about organizing them right away; I don't need to think of the proper Database for the task or note. That job can be for Future Matt. Every new input in Tana is treated as a “node,” starting with a bullet. It might take a bit to get used to, but once you do, you’ll see how flexible it is. You can “supertag” nodes, giving them magical powers, but you don't have to—you’re not locked into any structure. Need to change, re-tag, or un-tag something later? No problem. This level of fine-tuning is essential for me, allowing me to adapt and find better connections. I cannot tell you how many times I have re-named and changed the properties of my "Project" supertag. Why? Only my therapist knows. But I love that I can, and love that in doing so, nothing gets lost; I'm just changing the "outfit" those nodes are wearing. In Notion, this is a punishing nightmare. Tana’s AI implementation is one of the cleanest and most powerful I’ve seen. The developers are constantly adding new features and have a great relationship with users. They know the app is dense and are always working to make onboarding easier. Despite its complexity, Tana’s releases are solid and reliable. How many apps do you use on a daily basis that you love, but can be completely borked by a software update (hi, Descript!)? Tana don't play that. Tana probably isn't for everyone. If you’re looking for traditional folders and file systems, genuinely love to spend weeks building databases before you add your first note to your PKM, or are triggered by bullets, it might not be your cup of tea. I'm secretly envious of your organizational skillz. But try it anyway. Join the Slack community (especially the #adhd-autism-nd channel!), take the time to explore its powerful deep nerdery, simple beauty, and experience the joy of capturing your thoughts on the go for Future You. You might find that you won't be able to quit it, either. 😁

Tana is, bar none, the most exciting new app I've dug into in the past few years. Supertags are revolutionary (shameless plug, I just posted a video on why these are superior to Notion, https://youtu.be/NcNhcbvbG-A), and overall the combination of the product, the team, and the community is quite truly unbeatable. I'm SO excited for the team after many years of toiling in the dark, so to speak. It's been amazing to be part of the journey for the past two years, and hopefully many more to come.

I've been amazed at how many other productivity tools I've been able to build an equal-or-better version of in Tana. And at how responsive and accessible the Tana team are. And at how smart and, well, communal the community are. The more time I invest in building exactly what I need inside Tana, the more of my other productivity tools end up being redundant. My productivity stack is gradually becoming Tana. And I know the Tana of six months from now or a year from now, will be vastly better. Because that's been the trend so far.

@ken_blackman This is really something. It's become very difficult to even try to build workflows in other tools since I've come to expect the level of flexibility I get from Tana and the level of support I get from its community.

Local API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Tana!

Hey Product Hunt
We just shipped something we ve wanted to build for a long time: a local API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for Tana.
The short version:
AI tools like Claude Code can now read, reason over, and write back to your actual Tana workspace including structured notes, outlines, prompts, and relationships instead of working on pasted text or one-off prompts.
Why we built this
Most AI workflows today look like this:

Copy something out of your notes
Paste it into a chat or terminal
Lose context
Start over next time

That s not how real work compounds.
Tana is designed as a permanent, structured thinking system. With the new API + MCP, AI tools can finally work inside that system instead of around it.
What this unlocks
A simple example we re excited about:

Capture a voice memo in Tana
Shape it into an outline using the editor
Let Claude Code turn that structured note into a slide deck

How do you explain Tana to others?

When speaking to people who have never heard about Tana, how do you explain what it is? I am curious! Personally, I have to vet their current tool use thoroughly before I know how to talk about it.
