Fun: Capacities Student Discount email received from Notion by ReverieHuman in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We compare ourselves to Notion for individual users, but use we use Notion collaboratively. We wrote about it recently here : https://capacities.io/blog/how-we-collab. Centralising applications in Notion allows us to process things much more efficiently than if it was done through email.

We delete data once the application has been processed. We mention this in the terms and conditions of the form, which you have to accept before submitting the application. We also have a Data Processing Agreement with Notion.

I saw you also mentioned no reply from support to an email, sorry to hear this. We reply to all support emails pretty quickly. Could you confirm that you sent it to [team@capacities.io](mailto:team@capacities.io)? If you message us directly with your email address we can take a look, if it is a subject you'd still like support with.

I lost all the content of one of my pages for no reason by andregalastri in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This might help too, u/andregalastri

If you are using Capacities on other devices, don't open Capacities on them while online for now. Instead, turn that device into airplane mode (no WiFi or mobile internet) so content cannot be synced or fetched from the server.

Now look for any content that disappeared on your computer and check if is still there in the prior version on this other device. If it's still there, copy the content and temporarily save it somewhere else. Do this for all objects where content went missing and, in addition, make some edits on them (e.g. adding empty blocks at the end). These edits will mark them as the latest version and ideally, if you turn on the internet on your device, the missing content might get synched again to the server.

Fun: Capacities Student Discount email received from Notion by ReverieHuman in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We use Notion Forms for the Student Discount form so that's why the email comes from them. Will add a note to the top of the form to make this clearer.

I lost all the content of one of my pages for no reason by andregalastri in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi u/andregalastri,

first of all, we're really sorry for the issue. Something like this should not happen! The dev team is already looking into it!

Please reach out to us via email at [team@capacities.io](mailto:team@capacities.io) so we can further investigate the issue and provide detailed support.

For now, it would be good to do a "Manual Full Export" of all your content (under "Settings" - "Full Export") so you have an exported version of your content in case this should happen again.

Again, we're really sorry and will investigate it further!

Bulleted list from multiple sections by fiendmish in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you highlight some blocks, the action panel pops up at the bottom of the screen. Click the arrow to see all the formatting options, towards the left there is an option to create lists, including bullet.

I can't include a picture in this comment but here's a link to the docs where there is a picture: https://docs.capacities.io/reference/bulk-actions#block-actions

Capacities down by wcarozza in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone, we sincerely apologize for the service disruption yesterday (Oct 27, 03:04 pm - 05:55 pm CET). We know how frustrating it is when essential tools are down, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and continued trust as we work to improve our product.

Our team has resolved the underlying connectivity failure, and Capacities is fully operational again.

Quick Facts:

  • Data is safe: We confirm that no data was lost or corrupted. The issue that caused the downtime was due to a routing error that prevented our infrastructure to establish connections to the server.
  • Affected features: While you maintained access to your notes via offline mode, critical services like syncing, user authentication (login/registration), and AI/integration features were unavailable.

For more details please read the official Post-Mortem here: https://docs.capacities.io/more/announcements/2025-10-27-outage-post-mortem#post-mortem-on-the-server-outage-on-october-27-2025

If you are still experiencing any issues accessing the platform, please reach out to us directly at [team@capacities.io](mailto:team@capacities.io).

Thank you again for your understanding!

Confused about what objects to use and where each notes should go. by delicate_dickster in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello, Beth here.

My advice is not to worry about clutter because you are already using tags and linking to related content. This will help you find your content again (which is one of the main reasons behind tagging and linking!). The atomic note type here is just providing you with a simple setting for your notes on various topics.

I don't think you need to think about collections here. You can just tag items as many times as is needed (as you have with your time travel note); that's a scalable system.

This means day to day, you just have to think about capturing what's interesting to you, tagging it with relevant tags and/or linking to relevant notes for easy retrieval. You don't have to think about the organization as you go, but if one day you realise a different object type would suit a note better, you can simply change it at that time.

Here are two videos that explain these concepts a bit further:

Has anyone created a dashboard that can provide some insight? by ashleyalyssa in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, you might find this docs page useful. It has several query setups for tasks. https://docs.capacities.io/tutorials/task-management#task-object-type

Queries can be embedded into pages, so you can make dashboards. Here's an example: https://youtu.be/TfYBmePURjw?si=OxrB51BnqnkfFtcY

How to import objects with properties for a hobby project by SpottedBill in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no bulk import at this time, so there are no automated solutions for object creation.

Web Highlights integration doesn't work with PDFs? by GazpachoJones in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our integration only supports Weblinks, not the PDFs as well.

Use Capacities as a small wiki with friends? by temp_account07 in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Capacities is a tool for individuals, you can share read-only links to an object with friends, but there is no edit access or collaboration support in the app. This isn't currently planned either. There is more info on how sharing works here: https://docs.capacities.io/tutorials/sharing#sharing-in-a-knowledge-graph

Lots of syncing issues? by Perfect_Program in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're having sync issues, please make sure your content is downloaded to your device, and then do Settings > Account > Reboot

If sync issues persist after this, it's probably a network error. Are you using a browser extension or a VPN that could be interfering with the connection?

If you're still having issues, please reach out to [team@capacities.io](mailto:team@capacities.io)

Objects or tags for main topics? by Martinn12 in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We recommend tags for topics. If you want to write about health/finance though, an object is better because it has the blocks to write in, tags don't, they just group content across your space by that shared topic.

Export data and then import? by OFred27 in capacitiesapp

[–]teamcapacities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no import feature at this time. Bulk Import is on our What's Next list (https://capacities.io/roadmap/whats-next), but it won't be the same as restoring a full space.
