Capacities for iPhone and Android

Catch it on your phone. Find it at your desk.

Your phone is always with you. Capacities is too — offline, with all your notes.

Free on iOS and Android. Syncs with Mac, Windows, Linux, and the web.

Ideas don’t keep office hours.

They show up on the train, halfway through a walk, in the queue for coffee. You tell yourself you will remember. By the time you sit down at your desk, it is gone.

Your phone is always with you. Capacities is too. Offline, with all your notes. An idea doesn’t have to sit in another app until you get back to a laptop.

Catch it on your phone. It lands in your space, next to the people, books, and projects it belongs with.

A day with it

Ten seconds here, a minute there

This is what using Capacities on your phone looks like. Small moments, and all of them end up in one place.

Catch

No need to leave it in another app

Share it, say it, snap it, or type it. It goes into your space, next to everything else.

Share from any app

Links, text, images, and files go from the share sheet into the space and place you pick. Capacities saves in the background, so you stay where you were.

Today’s note, one long-press away

Long-press the calendar tab and you are typing in today’s daily note. Sort it out later, or never. The thought is safe.

Talk instead of type

Record a voice note and it is saved as audio, next to everything else. With AI on, tap Analyze for a transcript and a summary. Recording is in early access for Believers.

Photos become notes

Snap a whiteboard, a page, or a poster. Each photo is an image object you can tag, link, and write on.

Save to

Today’s daily note

Saved as a weblink
Find

All your notes. Not a lite version.

The phone app is not a viewer for a few recent notes. Everything you have saved is on your phone, so the answer is a few letters away, even with no signal.

Search everything

Find looks through titles, text, and properties across every object type: people, books, meetings, voice notes.

No signal, no problem

Capacities is offline-first. Your notes are on your phone, on a plane or underground. Changes sync when you are back online.

Every connection comes along

Backlinks and mentions show on each page. Open a person and you see every meeting you had with them.

Edit the way you do at your desk

Link with @, select blocks with a long-press, turn a line into an object with #. The same language, sized for your thumbs.

Keep up

Today, under your thumb

The calendar has its own tab, right next to Home. It is the quickest way into your day, and the daily note is a place where a thought can land before you decide what it is.

A daily note for everything loose

Journal, meeting notes, a stray thought. Swipe the week strip to look back or plan ahead. Expand it for the month.

Today’s tasks, beside today’s notes

With task management on, see what is scheduled, overdue, and done, and add a task without leaving the calendar.

A timeline, only on your phone

Everything linked to a date and your calendar events, in one scroll. Create a meeting for today in one tap.

Ask your notes

Don’t start from a blank chat

Explore is your AI chat on the go. It can read your space, so you ask about what you already know instead of starting from nothing.

Ask about what you saved

“What did Anna and I decide about the launch date?” Mention any object with @ to bring it into the chat. Your notes are the context.

Start from a selection

Select a few blocks and open AI with them as context. Summarize, rephrase, or find the gap.

Voice notes, transcribed

Open a recording and tap Analyze. You get a transcript and a summary next to the audio.

AI is part of Capacities Pro

Quicker ways in

Not a shrunken desktop. Not a throwaway notes app.
