Step into the future with Tana for Action
Seamless integration of tasks, projects, notes, and more
Unlike other productivity tools, Tana for Action combines the power of task and life management with the supercharged notetaking of Tana, which simplifies every aspect of your life and work. Effortlessly keep tabs on your day-to-day work, your active projects, your personal interactions and conversations, and your long-term intentions, all the the same environment.
Building blocks, not a straitjacket
When productivity systems try to be "one-size-fits-all" they're usually "one-size-fits-none" instead. Tana for Action provides building blocks in Tana for your "life and work toolkit," with structures for tasks, projects, recurring tasks, procedures, templates, roles, and more. They are pre-built to relate to each other in logical ways, but remain flexible so you can build with them as suits your life and work.
Community support
Gain lifetime access to the Tana for Action community. Whether you're a productivity pro or just starting, you'll find guidance, tips, and a supportive community to help you succeed.

Tana Revolutionized My Productivity
I started using Todoist in 2014 when I first read David Allen's Book Getting Things Done. In 2020, I moved my GTD system to Roam Research.
With my notes and tasks in the same environment, I could add components from Bullet Journaling: my daily agenda and log. I could also perform reviews of my system more reliably, because I could capture, in notes, the changes I wanted to make to my work and workflows.
Then, in September 2022, two weeks before Tana was publicly announced, I received a demo that blew my mind. Tana was everything I loved about Roam combined with the power to capture structure that I always envied in Notion.
With the power of Tana, I created structures for recurring tasks, procedures, project templates, review dashboards, and a variety of note types that would have been convoluted or impossible in Roam.
And while creating those tools can be complicated, using them is simple. Far from making my productivity more complex, Tana has made it easier and more fluid. I get more work done than ever, and because I can keep an eye on my big picture in Tana, too, I know that work is serving my longer-term aspirations.
I've done the complicated stuff for you. By installing Tana for Action in your Tana workspace, you'll save time, effort, and money, and you won't get mired in confusion over how to build task, project, or big-picture workflows in Tana on your own.
You'll get the Tana framework of my own Action-Powered Productivity approach—combining the best features of GTD and Bullet Journaling into an easy to use, action-based productivity toolkit.
