Feature Ideas

Should be able to use the '@' sign to set a reminder back to that object

Allow tasks to be recurring, similar to events and tasks in calendars.

The ability to connect multiple entities on a whiteboard and add free text. The whiteboard itself is also an entity and has it's own database. A good implementation is Heptabase.

Whenever I go to object settings, the entire app/site freezes and I’m unable to click anything. The only option is to restart the app but if I go to object settings agin the problem continues, meaning I am unable to edit object settings at all Capacities v1.59.11; none none; Mac OS v10.15.7; WebKit v605.1.15 (WebKit v605.1.15); Tablet (Capacitor); 22/03/2026, 02:41:41; en (Europe/London, UTC+0)

Upload a zip folder of markdown files to capacities. Considerations upload as a specific type and use front matter content to determine type and set properties upload to a specific space Goal: Maximize data integrity from other apps as best as possible. Requested apps: Notion Obsidian Roam Logseq RemNote Supported syntax: hashtag for tags front matter properties try to match to properties of type tags in front matter if front matter specifies a type try to match that to a capacities type

Add comments and link entities from media highlight text in PDFs and link content add comments to Audio and Video at a certain time add comments to images at specific coordinates Additional features: speech-to-text translation entity and text recognition in images ...

It might be a niche feature, but one that is not that common for PKMs, so it might be a good competitive edge. Personally, I know I have a huge amount of handwritten notes I'd like to make searchable into my knowledge tool, and so far there is only really Evernote that does it (or Onenote, but..).

My work flow throughout the day has been to capture info as quickly as possible. Currently I have created a TickTick quick tile on my Pixel. So even with the phone still locked, I can swipe down, click the tile, capture an idea. It's quick and easy and I can do it when I drive, am walking, or even feeding my little toddler for dinner. But because I have been trying to create my second brain within Capacities, this always means then transferring those quick captures here. So a quick tile and/or widget would really be great. A widget would probably be the more likely way to go on mobile because they can be created for Android and iOS users.

Similar to Notion's grouping by sorting functionality, I think there should be other ways to sort aside from alphabetical (asc/desc). For example, visual ⭐ ratings or statuses may not be sorted in this fashion.

I think it would be a great addition to have Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly Notes along with the Daily Notes interface. For example, by pressing the number buttons above the calendar to create one.

I would love to be able to take handwritten notes / draw directly in the app, or even on embeded medias, and to draw links between differant objects

More options for templates like prefilled date properties self-referencing filters customizable duplication logic. Feel free to add your requests below.

A theme can have a huge impact on the vibe and feel of the app when we use it. Since PKM is a personal endeavor, the ability to customize one's thinking environment is important. Options could involve: high contrast | normal cool gray | warm gray | neutral gray colorful | monochrome Different color accents and hues very warm gray scale+ amber accent colors mauve-tinted gray scale + mauve accent color Capacities will hand-craft all themes, so it won't be possible to insert custom CSS. This would simply generate too many degrees of freedom and potential UI issues. Special themes can however be requested, and if the interest is high enough, we'll develop them for everyone.

Would love two additions to the PDF object. First is the ability to highlight text and the second is a field in the right sidebar for notes. Any chances??

I've seen quite a few people create a separate daily object to add properties to since that is not an option with the Daily Notes. I would love for properties to be an actual feature on them. The way I would use this is to add checkbox properties to track my habits.
