Why this app?:

Capacities.io offers a fresh look into the ‘PKM’ and note-taking space. There is a good mix of Notion — Block and database, Roam, Craft & Reflect — Daily notes. Personally appreciates the simplicity of this app. It offers a lean learning curve and that’s a big plus for a person like me.

An object inside Capacities.io is the key differentiator; you can customize an object by editing its properties. It is a kind of supertags inside Tana.app.

Use case and examples:

  1. PKM
  2. Project management
  3. Task Management (Integrated task management is on the roadmap)
  4. Daily notes

Who can use? ‍💻

Capacities.io is primarily built for the ‘personal knowledge enthusiast but it can easily be used by anyone as it offers a very lean learning curve, a basic understanding of block-style notes and markdown and you can start using it. By the way; this is not the normal case with other networked note-taking apps. So give it a try and see.

Windows app, MacOS app, and Web app.

Capacities Basic — Free and Capacities Pro at 12 US$ per month.

Final thoughts 💭

This app has the potential to be a good addition to your notes, project, and knowledge management workflow. I am personally going to use it for a while and see if this can replace any of my apps, the only limitation with Capacities.io is, there is no mobile app but that is not far away as it is already planned by the team.

I love taking notes on the go and that’s where my most loved app; reflect.app outshines any other apps, Capacities.io can not replace that but it has all the potential to be my choice of ‘PKM & Project Management app’


Give it a try; this simple app can change the way you manage your knowledge. Capacities.io

Thank you for reading.

Keep reading, keep sharing.
