Capacities is a networked note-taking app designed for personal knowledge management, replacing traditional folders with interconnected objects like people, books, and meetings. It offers customizable templates, contextual backlinks, AI-powered insights, and daily notes to organize information intuitively. With a block-based editor, tagging, and mobile support, it suits managers, developers, writers, researchers, students, and founders seeking a flexible, secure platform to capture, link, and explore ideas across devices.

Key features
Organize information as real-world objects
Integrates hierarchy with link-based note-taking
Backlinks show the context of linked objects
Toksta's take

Organizing notes as real-world objects rather than files is a refreshing shift, and Capacities nails that approach. Its blend of hierarchy and linking makes it easy to map out research projects, client dossiers, or even personal reading logs with rich context and flexibility. The daily notes and contextual backlinks are genuinely helpful for capturing ongoing work and uncovering connections. Customizable aesthetics and a responsive development team further enhance the experience.

However, collaboration is noticeably lacking, and object settings can occasionally trip you up. Integrations with other software are either missing or not highlighted, so businesses needing seamless workflows may find Capacities limiting. For individual professionals seeking intuitive, visually engaging knowledge management, Capacities is a strong choice, but teams or integration-heavy workflows will need to look elsewhere.

What Users Love

Common Concerns

  • Object-Oriented Design: Many users find the object-oriented approach, and the way it handles tags and linking between objects, to be intuitive and effective for structuring and retrieving information.
  • User Experience (UX): Praised for being faster, smoother, and having a more intuitive and rich interface compared to competitors like Notion.
  • Daily Notes/Timeline Focus: The built-in daily note/timeline feature is a significant positive for users who appreciate a chronological organization for their thoughts and activities.
  • Image Handling: Users appreciate how Capacities stores and sorts images in a more aesthetic way than some other tools.
  • Offline-First/Local Storage (Upcoming): The announcement of a migration to a local-first implementation is seen as a major positive, addressing a previous gripe about cloud-only storage.
  • Free Version Limitations: A significant recurring complaint is the inability to search or filter notes in the free version, making it difficult to use effectively without a paid subscription.
  • Opinionated Design: While a plus for some, its "opinionated set of features" means it's not as "freeform" or flexible as tools like Obsidian, which can be a disadvantage for users seeking unlimited customization.
  • Cloud-based (Historical): Previously, a major concern for some users was that notes were not stored locally or in the user's own cloud. However, this is being addressed with the announced "offline-first" migration.
  • No Mobile App (Implied/Compared): One comparison noted that Anytype had a mobile app, implying Capacities might lack one or have a less robust one, which could be a deciding factor for some users.
  • Cost: Some users, particularly students, consider moving to free alternatives like Obsidian due to the cost of a Capacities Pro subscription, despite loving the tool.

Growth tip

For founders and managers, create a "Meeting" object type with properties like "Attendees," "Agenda," "Action Items," and "Decisions Made." After each meeting, populate these properties within the object. Then, link the meeting object to relevant "Project" or "Person" objects. By using contextual backlinks and smart queries (Pro feature), you can easily track progress, identify bottlenecks, and ensure accountability across your team, boosting project efficiency and overall business growth by centralizing key information and making it readily accessible.
