What Capacities Does
Capacities reimagines note-taking around "objects"—distinct types of things like people, books, meetings, and projects. Each object type has its own properties and template, making it easy to capture structured information consistently.
This approach sits between the freeform nature of Obsidian and the database rigidity of Notion.
Key Features
Object Types: Create different types of objects (people, books, articles, meetings, etc.) with custom properties. When you mention a person, you get a dedicated page with all related notes.
Daily Notes: A daily journal that can reference other objects. Great for capturing what you're thinking, reading, and doing each day.
Media Library: Images, PDFs, and files are treated as first-class objects, not just attachments.
Graph & Backlinks: See connections between objects. The graph view shows how your knowledge interconnects.
Pricing
Free tier includes basic features. Pro ($10/month) adds AI, more object types, and advanced features. Believers plan offers a lifetime deal at a discount.
