Mindmap, Mindmap, Mindmap!

Intentional and linkable mindmap

It would make sense to launch with the media 2.0, maybe :3

Please I'm begging you make this feature. Capacities would be the absolute best app. I've tried multiple apps and programs but none of them as good as this, but it's missing this feature so bad. Please please please do it!

The number of comments and votes are screaming for this feature to be built. Hope the team @ Capacities is listening. This one feature will be powerful.

This is really out of the scope of Capacities right now, in my opinion. Instead, I think what it really needs is improvements in the graph feature, such as better ability to rearrange objects and the ability to create a graph for an object type or a query.

After spending time with Heptabase, I’m now absolutely convinced that a modern PKM system needs a native whiteboard. It’s not just a visual extra — it fundamentally changes how you think and organize.

A whiteboard acts like a “concept-based folder”:

you’re no longer constrained by a single hierarchy, because the same note can appear on multiple boards, each representing a different perspective or line of thought. This lets you explore your knowledge both bottom-up (emerging patterns, connections, clusters) and top-down (intentional structure, frameworks, project views).

The result is a level of clarity and cognitive flow that’s hard to replicate with lists, links, or pages alone.

If a PKM system doesn’t invest in a proper whiteboard experience, it’s inevitably missing a crucial layer of thinking. Notes, links, and tags cover structure and storage — but whiteboards cover sense-making. They enable spatial reasoning, multi-context views, and the ability to see relationships at a glance.

Without this layer, a PKM becomes great at organizing information but limited in helping you understand it. And in the long run, that’s a significant competitive gap.

I want to say that it would be very important for me to have a canvas/whiteboard/mind map. I write a lot in this programme and want to give an example: I am writing a book, and it would be very convenient for me to have a board on which I could visually convey the entire essence of my work, where there would be characters, plot arcs, and their intersections.

Really need this - I need a visual canvas to add to my set of notes in Capacities, a whiteboard style thing would be great!

This is the one feature

Keeping me from

Capacities

I would love this. As someone with a tablet and stylus I dream of replacing my pen & paper journal. I would love to be able to write or draw directly into Capacities.
