Hi @everyone,
we are very happy to share this with you today: We are launching full-text search.
It was one of the most requested features in Capacities. We took our time but we think it was worth it. To be honest we are ourselves blown away how it turned out and weβre excited to hear what you think. οΈ
Itβs fast, and has a lot of powerful features built in for you to query all your content without thinking a lot about complex syntax. We think youβll love it.
You can read about all options you have in the current release message (https://capacities.io/whats-new/release-13). Or read the more detailed article in the documentation (https://docs.capacities.io/reference/search). Itβs live, you just need to get the most recent update and you should be ready to use it.
Happy exploring.
We've shipped a minor update. β
You can now set a wide mode for you content, which is great for multi-column layouts and designing dashboards. βοΈ
In addition, you can now configure how preview images are displayed (cropped or contained).
We've also added many fixes and improvements under the hood and some more small features. β

Hi @everyone
while we're working full steam on the mobile app, we just realized that we accumulated a lot of improvements and updates that are worth another release.
Thanks to everybody for contributing to these improvements.
Quick Note: Queries in Capacities is open for comments. You can read our proposal v1 here (https://discord.com/channels/940596022344843336/1066406350961262624/1079690890626482199) and share your thoughts in the discussion below.

Hi @everyone,
We're happy to share this release with you.
Creating useful and shareable outputs from your notes is super important. We're excited to get your feedback on the PDF export. You can add your thoughts to this ticket: https://capacities.io/feedback/p/pdf-export-customization-and-options
Most of you probably already heard that we released a beta version of the mobile app to all Believers. There is some info in the release as well, but we'll share more details on the mobile roadmap in the coming days.
Happy writing and exporting! οΈ
Hi @everyone,
Finally, time for another release!
This update is a major redesign with a new design system and a huge polishing effort with over 50 resolved tickets: a new date picker, unified menus, deep linking, and much more. No big feature additions, but countless improvements across the board.
It basically touched all areas of the app and we hope it brings more joy to using it. The systematization of the design will also allow us to ship new features faster and more consistently.
We really hope youβll like it!
Hi @everyone,
we just launched a new update which is not a full release yet, but it contains some great news:
Hookmark Support
We are excited to share, that Capacities now works with Hookmark.
Hookmark enables you to copy, paste and use two-way links between Capacities and other apps (files, web pages, emails and more).
It's a great app for researchers, students, and, more broadly, anyone who works with knowledge. It's based on research in Cognitive Productivity and is developed by a great team of researchers. You can read more about Hookmark on their website: https://hookproductivity.com/.
You can save any note of your notes in Hookmark by quickly opening the app while using Capacities. Your notes can then be "hooked" to websites, PDFs, files, or content in other apps. You can also use the Hookmark menu bar app to quickly find and copy links to your Capacities notes and paste them into other apps.
You can read more about the integration in Hookmark's documentation: https://hookproductivity.com/help/integration/capacities/.
Apart from that, we added many small improvements and fixes. You can read about them here: https://capacities.io/whats-new
Hi @everyone,
another release just went live. This update introduces several handy shortcuts for working with blocks and block selections. β¨οΈ
You can now
Move blocks or the whole block selection up and down
Extend the current block selection via keyboard
Select a range of blocks
Toggle to-dos
Open/close all toggles
Select all blocks using Cmd-A or Ctrl-A
Ungroup a group
And much more!
We've also added a "Shortcuts" page to our docs, to make them easier to find for new users. You can even download the whole cheat sheet as a PDF.
https://docs.capacities.io/reference/shortcuts
The video attached to this post is part of a our new "Quick tips " category, which you can also find on our landing page:
https://capacities.io/quick-tips
Apart from that, we've improved our pricing page to give users a more transparent and easier to understand picture of the differences between Capacities Free, Capacities Pro, and Capacities Believer:
https://capacities.io/pricing
As always, you can read the full release notes here:
https://capacities.io/whats-new/release-24
Hi @everyone,
we're super excited about this release. It contains a lot of fundamental technical improvements. οΈ
It will be the basis for queries and many more exciting upcoming features. With the new database dashboard, you'll get a first glimpse of what queries will be capable of. On top, we added some exciting customization features for data views.
Feel free to test everything. It's live.
Hi @everyone,
today, we are releasing a beta version of the AI assistant for all Believers. We're super excited about your feedback and ideas.
We have a lot of exciting features planned. You can read about it here: https://docs.capacities.io/reference/ai-assistant
Happy testing!
Hi @everyone,
we're excited to announce another update. It again contains a lot of improvements under the hood and a small improvement for the AI assistant.
We focused a lot on reliability, performance, and bug fixing in the last months. Because of that, we can now dedicate more resources to developing long-awaited features. You can expect to see more exciting things coming up in the next few months. We'll soon share a roadmap for the rest of this year. οΈ
Hi @everyone ,
we're super excited about this release. We put a lot of thought into how we want to proceed with task management in Capacities.
Task actions are a first step in that direction. β They allow you to connect Capacities to your favorite task manager. We think it's great for users who do a lot of task and time management.
Task actions are also another big step in the direction of integrating Capacities with more apps and workflows that you have outside of Capacities. Capacities connects to messenger to quickly input information, to Hookmark to link content between apps, and now to task managers to delegate tasks.
We at Capacities already use task actions every day! Especially, when connecting other apps via Webhooks, one can create amazing automations.
We're looking forward to hearing your thoughts on task actions here in the community Happy exploring οΈ
Hi @everyone,
we just launched bulk actions, a feature requested by many users. οΈ It allows you to do a variety of different actions (tagging, editing collections, deleting, changing the object type or setting a different view, moving blocks and object references) on a selection of multiple objects and/or blocks.
It took as longer than expected, but we're super excited to finally share it with you and hope it will allow you to work faster and remove some friction when organizing your content! (edited)
Hi @everyone,
This is a release we have been working towards for many months.
We're so excited to finally release queries to all Capacities Believers. οΈ
Based on discussions here in the community, your feedback on our proposal, and the help of our incredible team of testers, we could continuously improve it towards today's version. Queries are a new fundamental concept of Capacities that is still integrated into all your current workflows. We are convinced that it will transform how we organize information and how we can explore content.
We have many more ideas and extensions around queries planned and will integrate them into Capacities over time.
You can read about queries in the release notes (https://capacities.io/whats-new/release-33) and in our documentation (https://docs.capacities.io/reference/queries).
Happy testing.
If you have feedback and ideas, we'd love to hear them in our #deleted-channel forum discussion.
Hi @everyone,
Capacities Pro is here!
Weβre super excited to launch Capacities Pro today. After over a year of support from our Believers, we can now offer a great package of features bundled into the new Capacities Pro plan.
What is included in Capacities Pro?
Capacities Pro is meant to supercharge your productivity. It includes the most powerful tools for modern knowledge work:
AI Assistant
Use the AI assistant to dynamically interact with any object in your notes. Ask questions based on your content or let it improve your writing. You can use a variety of predefined commands, but ultimately, it's up to you to explore the limits of what's possible! (https://docs.capacities.io/reference/ai-assistant)
Capacities' task actions allow you to send tasks from Capacities to your task manager of choice. This way, you can keep track of your tasks in your dedicated task manager rather than having them distributed throughout different apps. (https://docs.capacities.io/reference/task-actions)
The package will be extended over time, including task management, calendar integrations, and much more!
You can read more about Capacities Pro here: https://capacities.io/proWhat is the new Capacities Believer?
Capacities Believer will continue to be a plan for everyone who believes in our mission of building a Studio for your Mind. You will:
Get early access to new features
As a Believer, you will always be at the cutting edge of what Capacities is capable of.
You will get access to all Pro features and beta access to new exciting features.
Support an independent team
We are building Capacities to be a powerful tool that is still accessible to everyone. We get up every morning because we believe in that.
Your support will let us stay independent and help us build this vision with an unconstrained focus.
Boost a product you love
All subscription revenue will flow into building Capacities β itβs as direct as it can get.
It will accelerate the development of a product you love and use every day.
With early access and prioritized feedback, you can shape what Capacities will become!
You can read more about Capacities Believer here: https://capacities.io/believerWhat about student discounts and fairer pricing?
We evaluated thousands of submissions to our pricing survey. Thanks for your participation. We took all suggestions and comments into account and are happy to share that weβre launching a fairer pricing model for countries with lower purchasing power.
You can see your price here: https://capacities.io/pricing
We are also planning to offer a student discount. If you want to get notified of updates, you can sign up here: https://capacities.io/pricing/discountWhat happens to existing Believers?
A big thank you goes out to all Capacities Believers. Itβs you who made this possible.
All Believers will stay Believers with the current price. On top of that, you earned an βEarly Believerβ badge. This badge will stay in your profile forever, and as long as you have any kind of active subscription, youβll have access to all Believer benefits. With the next update, you should see your badge in the account settings.
Thank you so much for your support. οΈ
Hi @everyone,
New update is going out right now!
In the past weeks we worked really hard on tables in Capacities and they turned into something more than just "simple inline" tables. Starting today, they will be in early access for alle Believers and Pro subscribers. Around April, they will become available for everyone in the free plan.
We are super happy with our implementation and hope you will like it! It includes:
Rich-text and linking support in table cells
Same color and text formatting as with text blocks (plus text alignment)
Tables can be used as inline tables or saved as objects and opened in full-page
Full integration with export, AI chat, copy and paste
Number formatting such as percentage, progress bar, or currencies (also available for number properties!)
Excel like formulas (they will remain a Pro feature going forward)
And a really nice UI/UX!
Our new team member @Luca Joos took the lead on the table implementation. This is especially impressive due to the fact that he joined the team just a couple of weeks ago. Big shoutout to him for doing an excellent job!
This release also includes a new synching protocol for much faster synching between devices, formatting options for number properties, a searchable shortcuts menu, and many small improvements and fixes.
You can read the full release notes here: https://capacities.io/whats-new/release-35
Thanks for all the ideas and input on our feedback board. Community-based development with you guys rocks!

Hi @everyone,
We just shipped a new update with many usability and design improvements. At the core are completely reworked menus throughout the app. But we've also added a trash for recently deleted content, a focus mode, more settings for the PDF export, and more. β¨
Hi @everyone,
I'm super excited to share this release with you. It opens up a whole new world for using Capacities.
The API is interesting for developers β in the beginning but will hopefully lead to many interesting and helpful integrations for everyone.
Please note: The API is in beta at the moment and lacks the endpoints you might need. We want to roll out access over time, so please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas in #deleted-channel.
The update includes many more exciting things. We hope you like it!
Hi @everyone,
we're excited to launch the Web Extension for Capacities. It's available on all major browsers.
The extension is a "Version 1" β it is a first step towards building a bridge from the web to Capacities. You can read about our plans for the web extension in the docs: https://docs.capacities.io/reference/web-extension
A huge shoutout to @Luca Joos. He developed the Capacities Web Extension!
Hi @everyone,
we're really happy to share this release with you, as we've been working on it for quite some time. It's a big step towards a faster app and towards offline support.
And there's more to explore! Have a great week.
Hi @everyone,
we just released another update!
Super excited to share the AI tagging feature. We tested it a lot and I use it every day since then! I hope it's useful for you as well.
We're also making progress on our offline roadmap. An updated version can be found here: https://docs.capacities.io/misc/offline-support. We're confident that we'll be done with it within the next few months.
Hi @everyone,
Hope you all noticed the last update with the new media views and sidebar redesign! It also included several big performance improvements and bug fixies as well as improvements to the Tablet App Beta.
We have two exciting months left in 2024 with new team members joining the team and important projects being worked on. Looking forward!
