Productivity

Capacities

Object-based note taking.

What it is

Capacities organises notes as typed objects — people, books, ideas — rather than as files in folders. Typing objects means a book, a person and a meeting behave differently and can be queried as sets, which is closer to a database than a notebook. The cost is up-front modelling, and it is hosted, so local-first users will look elsewhere.
