Why we picked it
Capacities found a sweet spot between Notion-style databases and Tana-style outlining. The object-first metaphor is easier to grasp than supertags, harder to break than free-form pages.
Overview
Capacities organizes notes by object type — every page is a Person, Book, Idea, Meeting, etc. — with typed properties and queries. Sits between Notion and Tana on the structure spectrum, with a friendlier learning curve.
