Capacities is a personal knowledge workspace built around connected objects such as people, books, projects and ideas, rather than a hierarchy of folders.
What it does Combine daily notes, backlinks, graph views and custom object types to connect research and writing. Capture material from the web, email and messaging services, then retrieve it with search or smart queries. Pro adds tasks, calendar connections, AI analysis, version history and developer access. Apps cover web, Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android with offline support and export. Sharing is view-only; it is designed for individuals, not organization-wide collaboration.
