What it does
Tana is an outline-based note workspace built around nodes, references, and Supertags that can classify notes as tasks, projects, meetings, or other types. The product also describes voice memos that create tagged and connected notes, saved views for searching and filtering, and AI features that consume plan credits. Its Free plan includes 500 AI credits, and the official changelog shows ongoing work through October 2026.
Capture quickly, then structure notes as reusable objects
Tana is built around an outline where a note can be transformed into a typed object using a Supertag, then surfaced in saved views and searches. The official site demonstrates using tags for tasks, projects, meetings, and webpages, and describes voice memos that are auto-tagged and linked to people or projects. This can make one workspace useful for both freeform notes and structured follow-up, but it asks users to learn its node-and-tag model rather than relying only on folders.
The pricing page lists a $0 Free plan with 500 AI credits and a Plus plan at $8 per month. Tana's changelog includes an October 22, 2026 entry for new meeting-brief research and task due dates. I did not create an account, build a Supertag, import notes, or test AI credits, voice capture, or saved views.
Strengths
- Supertags let notes take on structured types such as tasks, projects, meetings, and webpages.
- Saved views and search can reuse structured notes across different work contexts.
- Voice memos and AI tools extend capture and organization beyond typed outlines.
Watch out for
- The outline, node, and Supertag model has more concepts to learn than a plain notebook or document editor.
- AI capacity is credit-based, and the Free plan's 500 credits limit how much can be tried before upgrading or waiting for a new allowance.
Best for
- People who want to turn meeting notes and ideas into structured tasks, projects, or reference objects
- Users comfortable organizing notes through an outline, tags, and saved searches
