Tana: The Last Productivity Tool You'll Need 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. At first glance, Tana might seem like just another outliner or note-taking app. But that assumption is like calling a smartphone "just a phone." Tana is a thinking tool, a productivity engine, and a no-code playground all rolled into one. It’s not about taking notes—it’s about creating systems that work the way you think. What sets Tana apart is its unmatched flexibility. Every month, I find myself replacing another tool because Tana does it better. Task management? Check. Research organization? Check. Knowledge management? Check. It doesn’t impose rigid structures—it lets you shape your own. Tana is different. It’s not trying to be an "Everything App"—not really—it just happens to be the best tool for an increasing number of things. If you're even a little curious, give it a try. You might be surprised how quickly it becomes the core of your workflow.
After going through the usual flotsam and jetsam of Roam Research, Obsidian, Capacities, Craft, Notion, etc I landed on Tana about 1 year ago. I absolutely adore the object-oriented approach to productivity. A little bit of a learning curve, but wow do I love this product! (no connection to the company just a user)
Its awefully powerful!! Combined with AI is the best part!! Thanks a ton.
Would give 10 stars if I could! 😊 Tana is the ultimate tool for structuring my life—I throw in every note, to-do, and random thought without worrying about where to save them. Thanks to supertags and endless customization options, I always find what I need, exactly when and where I need it. Absolute game-changer!
I manage all my life in Tana — my notes and todos, meetings, recipes, and even my diary. I just love how flexible tana is in capturing my workflows and keeping everything at my fingertips. I could not do without it!
I used Notion and Roam Research a lot, this is the perfect blend for me, for personal PKM, personal CRM, etc. Also can be very useful for task/project management! The slick integration of AI features have me excited and finding new insights, connections, and save me time I would have used before to tag/summarize/synthesize.
