Side-by-side
| Capability | MIND | Tana |
|---|
| Builds the map for you | Yes — it works out how things connect as you add them | You build it yourself with supertags |
| Other AIs can read it | Yes — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor and more | No — Tana's AI only works in Tana |
| Works with any model | Yes — 50+ models, and switching costs you nothing | No — whichever AI it ships with |
| Remembers what mattered | Yes — what you cared about is remembered more deeply | No |
| Spots things on its own | Yes — it spots patterns without being asked | No — queries run when you ask |
| Phone, web, and your AI tools | Yes — all three, today | Phone and web — no way in for other AIs |

How MIND is different
MIND builds the graph for you. Tana hands you the tools to build it yourself — more control, and more upkeep.
Claude and ChatGPT can read your MIND. Tana's AI only works inside Tana.
MIND works with 50+ models, so your memory doesn't care which one you prefer this year.
Frequently asked
What's the difference between MIND and Tana?
MIND builds the graph for you; Tana hands you the tools to build it yourself — more control, and more upkeep.
Can I use MIND alongside Tana?
Yes, and plenty of people do. MIND is the memory underneath — the thing Claude and ChatGPT read from — so it sits alongside Tana rather than replacing it.
Is MIND a Tana alternative?
Not exactly. Both help you get things down. The difference is what happens next: whichever AI you open tomorrow can read your MIND, and it comes with you when you change your mind about models.
Tana pricing: Free; Plus ~$10/mo; Pro ~$18/mo (Pro adds API access, templates, and automation). Details about other apps come from their own public pages; features and prices change, so check theirs before deciding.
