Capacities

Capacities is a powerful tool for note-taking that's designed to let you think more intuitively and structurally. Instead of files and folders, you can create objects like books, people or ideas. That can help you organize information naturally and link it together, which can be useful for understanding complex subjects and finding new ideas.

Capacities has a variety of tools to help you get organized and productive. You can take daily notes, search with a powerful search engine, take photos and videos and import other files. You can also import material from other apps directly into Capacities. The AI Assistant built into the service can interact with your notes, letting you ask questions and get help with your writing. Multimedia support includes photos, audio and embeds, and you can search full text and get statistics on text.

One of Capacities' most interesting features is the ability to build a web of interconnected ideas, not a hierarchical tree. That lets you create contextual backlinks, tag and categorize material, and span individual blocks across different objects. You can customize your daily note templates and set up your own workflows with object types and collections.

Capacities is designed to protect your data and keep it private. It's GDPR compliant, stores data on servers in the EU that are encrypted, and offers signed URLs for media files. It also offers two-factor authentication for extra security on your account.

The service is designed for individuals who want to improve their note-taking and productivity. It's useful for students, professionals and creative types who need to handle a lot of information. There's no pricing information yet, but the basic app features are free, and there could be updates or premium services in the future.

Capacities is still under active development, with new features and improvements arriving regularly. Its mobile app lets you take your notes on the road, and a public API (in beta testing) lets you use programmatic interfaces to tap into Capacities data and features. Its flexibility, customization options and focus on interconnected thinking make it a good choice for anyone looking to improve their knowledge management and idea organization.
