About Capacities

Capacities is an 'object-based' note-taking app that moves beyond folders and tags to a structured data approach. Instead of just pages, you define 'Objects' (e.g., People, Books, Meetings), ensuring that your knowledge is consistently organized and easily queryable.

Key Features

Object-based organization (define your own entity types)
Networked backlinks and automatic connections
Daily notes for rapid capture
Powerful querying and filtering of objects
Clean, modern interface with high usability
Integration with web clipping and external sources
Ability to visualize connections between different object types

Capacities Pros & Cons

Pros

  • +Eliminates the 'where do I put this?' folder anxiety
  • +Consistent data structure makes retrieval effortless
  • +Better balance between structure (Notion) and fluidity (Roam)
  • +Extremely intuitive object-property system
  • +Beautifully designed UX that encourages organization

⚠️ Cons

  • Learning the 'object' mental model takes a few days
  • Fewer plugins and extensions than Obsidian
  • Still in active development (some features evolving)
  • Sync can occasionally be slower on very large bases

Who Is Capacities Best For?

👤People who find Notion too rigid and Obsidian too chaotic
👤Collectors of structured information (books, people, quotes)
👤Researchers who need a consistent schema for their data
👤Anyone building a long-term personal knowledge base

Capacities Use Cases

💡CRM for Personal Networks

A freelance consultant defines a 'Person' object with properties for 'Last Contacted', 'Key Interest', and 'Relationship'. Every time they meet someone, they create a Person object and link it to 'Project' or 'Meeting' objects, creating a self-organizing professional CRM.

💡Digital Library and Reading Log

A voracious reader defines a 'Book' object with fields for 'Author', 'Genre', and 'Rating'. As they read, they create Book objects and link them to 'Concept' objects. Over time, they can query 'all books about Stoicism' and see a networked view of every related idea.

💡Academic Study Workflow

A law student defines 'Case', 'Statute', and 'Legal Principle' objects. When studying a new case, they link the 'Case' object to the relevant 'Statute' and 'Principle', creating a high-fidelity map of legal precedents that is far more useful than a linear notebook.
