RECATOOLS Verdict

Capacities reimagines note-taking around typed 'objects' (Notes, Books, Meetings, People) you link and tag rather than files in folders, making it a thoughtful fit for networked thinking and personal knowledge management. The free tier is genuinely usable, and Pro ($11.99/mo) adds an AI assistant, formulas, a public API, and integrations like Raycast.

The object model is its strength and its barrier: it takes real effort to internalise, and people wanting a quick notes app will find it over-structured. It's also a smaller indie product versus Notion or Obsidian. Globally available as an English-first web/desktop/mobile app with no ASEAN-specific features. Best for deliberate PKM enthusiasts, not casual note-takers.
