2026 / wk 15-20 / v. 518-520
- NewBackup audio recording for meetings. You can now keep the original audio of a transcribed meeting alongside the transcript, so you can listen back to what was actually said. The first time you start a live transcription, Tana asks if you'd like to turn this on. You can change your mind any time from the command palette using "Enable backup audio recording" or "Disable backup audio recording". AI meeting notetaker, Live voice transcription
- NewDrag and drop between groups updates fields. In a grouped outline view, drag a node from one group into another and Tana updates the field the outline is grouped by. Drop a task into the "In progress" group and its status changes; drop one into another person's group and the owner is reassigned. Works for options, options from supertag, date, and the tags system field, and you can drop into empty groups too. Views
- NewCopy node ID command. A new "Copy node ID" command in the command palette puts just the ID of a node on your clipboard. Useful when you want to point an AI tool like Claude Code or Codex straight at a specific node over MCP, without copying the full link and trimming the URL parts off. Command line, Local API / MCP
- ImprovedPaste code and keep the formatting. Copy a code snippet from Claude, GitHub, or your editor, and pasting it into Tana now creates a proper code block with the right language for syntax highlighting. Before, the same paste collapsed into a single line of plain text. Copy-paste and export, Outline editor
- ImprovedSnappier autocomplete with thousands of entries. Picking from a tag that has thousands of entries, like a big list of people or companies, now finds the right one sooner. The match you want tends to be at the top of the list after fewer characters. Nodes and references
- FixedLong field values stay inside the card. In cards view, a long field value like a URL no longer spills out past the edge of the card. It trims with an ellipsis instead. Views
- FixedSigning into the local MCP server from Claude Code. Signing into Tana's local MCP server from Claude Code no longer fails with an "invalid_redirect_uri" error. Local API / MCP
- FixedLocal MCP server handles multiple requests at once. When an AI tool sends several requests to Tana's local MCP server at the same time, they no longer interfere with each other and fail partway through. Local API / MCP
- FixedCase-sensitive text searches in MCP. The textMatches operator in searchNodes now correctly matches patterns that contain uppercase letters, and the /i case-insensitive flag takes effect. Before, any pattern with an uppercase letter silently returned no results. Local API / MCP, Search nodes
- InfoDesktop and mobile apps will soon be renamed to Tana Outliner. An update to the Tana Desktop and Mobile apps will roll out soon, renaming them from Tana to Tana Outliner. Everything else stays the same: your data, your settings, and your app icon. On Mac, if you keep Tana docked, you may need to re-dock it after the update. Tana Outliner for desktop, Tana Mobile
