Getting better every day! Capacities is an excellent tool for knowledge management designed for individual use. It is non-hierarchical like Obsidian, and in that sense is superior to good old Notion, if it comes for personal use. You can share content but is not designed for team work. I use Capacities to manage papers and academic work. Also ideas, benchmark research, daily notes, and administration. It is a very powerful tool that feels very flexible and neat. I prefer Capacities over Obsidian because the latter requires constant revision and maintenance. And because Obsidian offers so many plug-ins, you always get the feeling that you could get a better workaround to improve your note-capturing. Capacities in this sense is a curated experience: once you learn to use it, you make the best out of it, and slowly you get new implementations. The company is very attentive to user feedback. I hope more people discover the power of Capacities.
moved to capacities a while back, and it's one of the most promising tools in the space, it is already working great and I look forward to its growth!
Capacities is an absolute beautiful piece of technology both in terms of design and functionality. It helps to connect pieces of information and keep track of projects, tasks and other everyday responsibilities.
I've used almost all of the second brain apps. Capacities is by far the best. While not perfect (it's still a young app) its very intuitive and powerful for anyone who is familiar with PKM applications. Please support them, you won't be dissapointed.
They claimed that once you'd used its non-hierarchical approach to organising your notes that you wouldn't want to go back, and the strange thing is that they're right. Strange, because it's hardly the only option out there using tags and links, so there's something subtle going on which has very quickly made Capacities my preferred notes app. It still needs work: by their own admission the offline access is still limited, and a web clipper would be handy. Tables are still far more useful than side by side blocks. I'm a little concerned about future pricing: will the forthcoming mobile app be available in the free version? I'm happy to pay something but it has to realistically reflect the place of notes in my working tools. Having watched Evernote price itself beyond feasible value even for its "personal" version I really hope Capacities won't follow suit. But the potential for greatness is all there, and the team seem smart and focused, so I live in hope.
Best app ever. I can wait until they they release the Mobil version
This is an incredible note-taking app based on an innovative and thoughtful approach to knowledge management. Its object-based approach allows us to enjoy the benefits of storing in databases, but the linking capabilities take that further, and let us create a web of knowledge with ease. My favourite features are the page layouts, the different embed views for linked content, and the automatic record of what content was created on a day (found in the daily note). This allows me to take control of the knowledge I curate and I can customise the approach along the way. Knowing that I can then scroll back through my daily note to see what I was doing over a period of time is equally fantastic. Overall, Capacities is a genuine joy to use every day and that was evident within the first hours of testing it. Everyone should check out Capacities, I doubt they'll regret it!
I have been trying out various alternatives to Notion for the last couple of weeks and, for me, Capacities is the most promising replacement. For me there has been a bit of a learning curve but it is well worth it. I don't know if ergonomic is the correct term for a computer program ,but it feels as if a lot of flair and effort have gone making the workflow as natural and intuitive as possible whilst leaving plenty of space for individuality and creativity.
Great App! I really like the object based note taking! 🤩 Using it since some weeks and really looking forward to the integration of Task Management P.S. please consider Superlist for task integration 🤞🏻
