Tana Alternatives

The most common destination: local Markdown files, offline everywhere, strong mobile app; Bases or Dataview approximate supertags. You lose the native outliner and built-in meeting AI.

Typed objects similar to supertags with easier onboarding. Still cloud-based, and some users find its object model complex.

Free, open-source outliner with block references and local files. Large graphs get slow and it is mid-transition to a database version.

The original linked outliner, stable and focused on connecting ideas. Expensive and slower development.

Better for team docs and databases with a familiar editor. Page-based rather than outline-based, weaker quick capture, AI is a paid add-on.

Local-first, encrypted objects and relations with a generous free tier. No real outliner and rougher onboarding.
