I must say, it is everything I've been looking for in a notes app

Beth

I am obsessed.

nashi

This is the future of advanced notes / PKM / tools for thought apps.

Harold

Today, I deleted all the other note-taking apps off my devices

Philipp

Sure thing - you are building the notes app of my dreams ♥️

Yun-Seo

For almost 2 years I've been searching for a way to index my knowledge for work, from a bottom up approach. […]. Your app seems to solve it.

Lligi

Love the idea of @capacitiesHQ. There just seems to be no end to disruption in note taking. From Evernote to Docs to Notion & now ideas like this one, consumer centric products can always evolve into something more ingenious.

Dave

In terms of vision @capacitiesHQ is close to the perfect combination of @NotionHQ, @logseq, @RoamResearch.

Marie Langé

@CapacitiesHQ is suuuuch a wonderful tool! Wayyy better than Notion.

Aisyah

I'm using Obsidian, but I'm willing to switch to Capacities for so many reasons

George

@capacitiesHQ By far the most intuitive app of it's kind I came across lately [...] Awesome work guys!

Arthur

I wanted to congratulate & thank you guys for creating such an intuitive and beautiful piece of software ❤️

I have tried a ton of Note apps over the past month. Wow, I am very impressed of what you have here. Keep up the great work.

Tosny

I realise that I have just been spending more and more time in Capacities than pretty much any other single app.

Piotr

I am extremely excited about capacities.io, and I know it will become an invaluable tool for many people. Already, it has become a daily tool for me.

Please do not stop and keep going.

Connor

Just signed up for capacities and I must say I am amazed. I have tried all PKM systems and this one ups notion big time. Very well done.

Tom Ross

looks like notion and obsidian had a baby, intrigued!

Benjamin Metcalfe

I just wanted to touch base to say I am checking out your capacities app. I have only used it a couple of days, but am enjoying it very much. It is beautifully designed. Keep up the great work!!!

Shaila Lias

This is shaping up to be a fantastic tool. I love all the daily notes improvements.

Anthony Baker

Okay, this is an impressive amount of work in a single software update. Another #pkm #TfT contender for sure. Really is amazing how far some of the DNA Of @RoamResearch is flourishing with DNP and back links and whatnot. Wow.

Sarah

Hello, I just thought I would write to say that since I had the onboarding call with Steffen in mid-May, it's been really helpful for me to use capacities even more powerfully. Since the newest update, it has been AMAZING to use. You are going in all of the right directions. Thank you.

Nathan

Thank you for creating this wonderful app.

Mauro

Interesting app @capacitiesHQ Is like @logseq + @NotionHQ

Arthur

To be honest, I’ve tried Notion, Roam, Reflect, Obsidian, etc. pretty much every PKM system out there and I really hope you guys succeed in building your vision as I really enjoy using it.

George

Just wanted to say, this app is fucking awesome! Exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for. Kinda what I thought Anytype.io was going to be able to do, but WAY better and more powerful.

Tosny

It has replaced Notion for me

Shila

I an absolutely in love with this app. I have tried every to-do, planner, note taking app under the sun and never found something that fit and had all the functionality I want. Capacities seems to check all of my boxes - I am extremely excited to continue to learn it and utilize in with my life and work.

Marina

Capacities has been an absolute joy to use, and is one of a few TfT apps that actually leaves a lasting impression.

Erik

I think Capacities is by far the most useful, well designed tool, I've ever used.

Patricia

The ‘Capacities’ has got everything I imagined.

Joseph Wood

Ok, this is absolutely awesome.

In @capacitiesHQ you can now add a tag to an actual tweet embed. This allows you to create full tweet collections based around certain tags.

Joseph Wood

I really like this app. It's so unbelievably close to exactly what I want in an app.

Tosny

Capacities is now where I put all my notes, from detailed book and course notes to a little financial tracking.
