PKM Weekly — 2025–01–26

Hi Everyone,

We are back with another episode of PKM Weekly. Let’s see what is in store for us today.

CAPACITIES

• Latest Update

With Release 45 there were a number of new features being released, including:

1. Offline & Sync State (We have been working full steam to make this possible in the last few months. While not everything works offline, most of Capacities does! You can read about the details and what we have planned around offline in the release.
2. Media settings
3. Unlinked mentions (We also implemented version 1 of Unlinked Mentions for Capacities Pro. We have been testing it in the last few weeks, and it truly changed how we use Capacities! We’ll share more about how it can be used in the upcoming weeks.)
4. Team news

• Impressions on Capacities

OP posted:

Hey, I’m a new user of Capacities and wanted to share my first impressions in order to see if I’m using it wrong or if the app does have some significant limitations and I should look for an alternative.

I have to start by saying that I love the design and the idea of object-oriented notes. The app is enjoyable to use and has so much potential, but here are my issues:

1. Tasks: I’m looking for a PKM tool that can help me manage my projects. I was using another task manager, but subscribed to TickTick just to use it along with Capacities “task actions”. I was very disappointed when I noticed that the task actions are basically a copy-and-paste using API.
2. Windows: I couldn’t install the windows app. I use a laptop managed by my company, and the fact that the app is not signed leads it to be blocked.
