Readwise integration ALPHA
If you use Readwise or Reader, you can now automatically send your highlights to Capacities. To set it up, go to Settings > Readwise Integration.
You can read all about the integration in our documentation draft.
Testing Instructions:
- Connect to your Readwise account via the settings and setup the integration.
- Add the sync tag to some documents in your Reader/Readwise app. Continue reading and adding highlights.
- Capacities should ingest new highlights and documents, based on your settings, every 5 minutes.
- Play around with different setting options and report back if everything works correctly.
Things that will still change:
- Cover images from Kindle are low-quality. This will be improved soon.
Please share your feedback in the nightly channel:
- Does everything work?
- Is the UI intuitive?
- Do you understand the documentation?
- What is missing?

v1.53.1 (2025-09-02)
⚡️ Optimized Data Views
We have further optimized the display of objects in our data views (e.g. within queries, object types, collections, tags, etc.). This not only affects the individual views of the ‘group by’ groups, but instead all rendered objects within data views. These views should now perform much better, especially when dealing with a large number of objects. It is important to thoroughly test the following:
Do all dashboards for a single object type work: the general overview of a type (e.g. pages, images, including custom types), collections within a type (including embeds) and queries of an object type (including embeds). Are all objects displayed there or are some missing?
Do all dashboards with mixed object types work: queries with different object types (including embeds) and tags. Are all objects displayed or are some missing?
🤖 Capacities AI Help Bot (Early Access)
We trained an AI on our landing page, documentation and feedback board. The AI chat is meant for new and inexperienced users to get their questions answered.
You can access it via the ‘Help’ button in the left sidebar. We’d love to get your feedback on its behavior:
- Does it provide accurate answers?
- Do you like the style?
- Any problems or unexpected behavior?
Feel free to share answers in the group chat that you don’t like so we can fine-tune the behavior.
✨ Improvements
- Move cursor focus when choosing a Hidden-When-Empty property. Ticket
🐛 Fixes
‘Select All’ via keyboard in number properties does not work. Ticket
‘Hide when empty’ does not work on new label properties. Ticket
Labels not shown in exported PDF. Ticket
v1.52.17 (2025-08-25)
⚡️ Optimized ‘Group By’
We have optimized how we display the elements in our dashboards (e.g. within queries, object types, collections, etc.). This should primarily improve performance for ‘group by’ views with a large number of groups. However since we modified many parts of the system to achieve this, it has a significant impact on a large number of dashboard interactions. Therefore it is important to extensively check the following:
Do all dashboards of a single object type work: the general overview of a type (e.g. pages, images, including custom types), collections within a type (including embeds), and queries of an object type (including embeds). Are all objects displayed there or are some missing?
Do all dashboards of mixed object types work: queries with different object types (also as embeds) and tags. Are all objects displayed there or are some missing?
v1.52.16 (2025-08-22)
✨ Improvements
- When opening objects in new tab, switch to existing tab if already open instead of creating a new, duplicate, one.
🐛 Fixes
- Add label property support for PDF exports (and improve display of object properties in PDF export).
v1.52.15 (2025-08-20)
✨ Improvements
- Copying Block Reference from Backlinks. Ticket
🐛 Fixes
- ‘Search all pages’ feature in text dropdown not working. Ticket
v1.52.14 (2025-08-20)
✨ Improvements
Close groups when ‘Group by’ applied: You can now toggle groups by hovering over the group label.
Better initial group selection: When creating a ‘Group by’ we now select the most useful property from the list of options (e.g. label or collections)
v1.52.13 (2025-08-19)
💾 Revised Export
We have reworked our export so that it is faster, more reliable, and uses fewer resources. In addition, we’ve also revised the structure a little to deliver even better results.
Some users reported that the app became quite unresponsive and slow when an export was being generated in the background. Also, some reported that corrupt exports or no exports at all were created. This should no longer be the case.
Please be sure to experiment with both manual and automated export in both smaller and larger spaces with different settings and ensure that the result is as expected.
We appreciate your feedback.
v1.52.12 (2025-08-19)
✨ Improvements
Added support for ‘Group by collections’
Make group labels for group-by slightly larger
🐛 Fixes
Object type labels were cut off when displayed as group by labels
Dropdown in search queries ‘Show’ – ‘Block and objects’ was cut off as well
v1.52.11 (2025-08-18)
🐛 Fixes
Bug with cursor movement not working in the editor
Missing flags to enable group by in some cases
v1.52.7 (2025-08-18)
Group By
We’re happy to share that Group By is now available for testing. We’d love to hear your feedback on it.
It would be great if you could share the following feedback:
- What do you think about the new Group By feature?
- Does it make sense, and is it intuitive?
- What is missing?
- Do you experience any bugs or issues with it?
Reworked content views and better performance
We rewrote large parts of how content views work in Capacities. It would be great if you could share any improvements or degradations in performance or any issues you experience. We plan to virtualize the content views soon, so you can expect a lot of improvements in this area with one of the next updates.
Conflict-resolution prototype
Resolving conflicts across devices was a big issue for many users. We’re trying to replace the modal that gets shown on conflict with an automated algorithm that merges your changes automatically. This should make working across devices much easier.
With this version, you’re getting access to the prototype. We’d love to hear your feedback on it. Does resolving conflicts work as expected? Any issues? <
