NewMermaid diagrams render inline in code blocks. Write a mermaid code block and Tana Outliner now renders it as a diagram for everyone, with no setup needed. A maximize button opens the diagram in a fullscreen viewer for anything too large to read inline, and pressing Space on a focused diagram does the same. Outline editor, Node types
NewPart-of breadcrumb navigator. A breadcrumb at the top of a node now shows where it sits in its part-of hierarchy, so you can see and jump up the chain of containing nodes. Long chains are shortened with a … in the middle. Available to everyone. Navigation, Nodes and references
NewGPT-5.5 available as an AI model. GPT-5.5 is now in the AI model picker, with selectable reasoning levels (none, low, medium, and high) so you can trade speed against depth for AI commands and chat. Tana AI, AI Chat
ImprovedLarger result sets from the API and MCP. Searches and child listings through the local API and MCP can return up to 1000 results when you ask for them. Defaults stay at 50 for search and 100 for children, so existing calls behave the same unless you raise the limit yourself. Local API / MCP, Search nodes, Input API
FixedLive search in AI context respects its result limit. When a live search node is part of the context you send to AI, Tana Outliner now honors the result limit set on that search instead of pulling in everything. Filtered-out results are left out too, keeping the context focused on what you configured. Tana AI, Search nodes, Views
FixedAdding the meeting bot to a call works again. Adding the Tana Outliner meeting bot to a meeting had recently started failing for everyone and now works again. Meeting agent, AI meeting notetaker
FixedClearer behavior when system audio is unavailable. Starting a recording with system audio enabled no longer throws an unexpected error when system audio access is unavailable. Tana Outliner now stops cleanly and surfaces the real reason instead of a generic "failed to start" message. AI meeting notetaker, Live voice transcription
FixedEmbedded tweets render again. Embedded posts from X (Twitter) had stopped rendering and could break the rest of the page when a post was missing some of its data. They render correctly again. Nodes and references
FixedQuieter empty state with a clearer message. The "nothing to show" placeholder no longer appears as a heavy gray box in light mode (most noticeable on the calendar and agenda views) and is back to quiet inline text. The message also tells you whether a search or a filter is responsible for the empty result. Views, Search nodes

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
FixedOverdue search with MCP works with custom task tags. The overdue filter in searchNodes now finds tasks with a past due date on a custom task tag's own due-date field, not just the built-in system task type. 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

ImprovedDefault AI model for chat. Paid accounts can now set a default AI model for chat. Use the "Set default AI model to" command or edit the AI model field in user preferences. The chosen default applies to all AI chats unless overridden by a per-chat or per-agent model selection. Use "Reset default AI model" to revert to the system default. AI Chat
ImprovedUndo no longer includes navigation actions. Cmd/Ctrl+Z now only undoes actual content changes. Navigation, zoom, and expand/collapse no longer fill up the undo stack. Navigation
