Your notes become real things
In Capacities, you don't create files—you create objects. People, books, projects, ideas. Each with its own structure, properties, and place in your knowledge network.
Custom types
Create any kind of object. A recipe. A company. A research paper. A movie you watched. You define what matters.
Properties
Add dates, ratings, tags, links, numbers, checkboxes—whatever makes sense for that type.
Templates
Create a template for how new objects should look. Every new book, meeting, or project starts exactly how you want.
Multiple views
Switch between lists, galleries, tables, or cards. The same data, visualized however works best for you.
"The whole idea of everything being an object works for me. Object-oriented is definitely the way to go!"
Ideas connect like thoughts in your head
Link anything to anything. Watch your knowledge come alive.
Bi-directional links
Type someone's name or reference a project, and Capacities creates a two-way link automatically.
Backlinks panel
Open any object and instantly see every other object that references it. Connections you forgot you made, surfaced automatically.
Graph view
See your entire knowledge network as a living graph. Explore connections. Spot clusters. Find unexpected patterns.
Tags that work
Unlike other apps, tags in Capacities work across your entire system—not siloed in single databases.
