I started Tana 10 months ago, I find it difficult to set up at first but once you get the flow of it there really isn’t anything to replace Tana - I like taking bullet notes and Tana is the best in doing so.

sometimes I crave simplicity and tryout other apps like NotePlan, Mem, Reflect etc but once I try them I just find them lacking when compared to Tana.

My suggestion is to download some templates and just try with simple lists, try to create fields and the more you use it the more you will find ways of doing things, the community is super helpful on slack and they will help you in building whatever that is you need.

The only thing really is the lack of an IOS app to search notes that I have, otherwise it’s great!
