Nodes and references

Nodes are the fundamental building blocks of Tana, each representing a piece of information that exists in the hierarchy of the outline structure. A node is atomic in format, making it infinitely malleable and rearrangeable. Nodes can exist in many places at once, as References. Everything in Tana is a type of node, which is part of the design philosophy that makes Tana so powerful.

​

Search nodes

Search nodes give you the power to find anything, anywhere in Tana. They are easy to make, and can exist anywhere you can add a node. The many search operators available put advanced tools in your hands to create very specific searches according to your needs.

​

Fields

Fields store structured information in Tana. They provide additional details about nodes such as their status, launch dates, social media profiles, order numbers, attendees, comments - anything you want to consistently record in the same way, everywhere.

Daily notes

Your daily notes is your main scratchpad. Every day you get a clean slate. Make it a habit to work here, operating your day. Don’t think about files and folders – just think, type, tag, and trust that your thoughts and tasks are captured.
