Sharing on Android isn't working
R
Randall Uyeno
I used to be able to share to Capacities from Android, and easily create a weblink. It stopped working a while back. When I share from the Android share menu, it takes me to Capacities but just to my daily page, not to creating a weblink. It used to gives me a prompt to choose my workspace, then it would create the weblink. I must now copy the link, then open the Capacities app, then create a new weblink, and paste the link.
I'm on a Nothing phone 2 with Android 15.

Problem: Sharing Websites with Android App is unreliable

If Websites/links are shared with Android app, often after Closing the opened instance of Capacities, the Weblink ist not saved. Sometimes the Weblink does not automatically load a title. Also it happens, that Tags are not normally selectable. All in all it is buggy and not reliable.

Same thing's happening to me... in September 2025! Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. All updated. What the hell, Capacities? The whole point of a note-taking app is to capture thoughts/ideas. This cripples my ability to do that. Welp, back to Evernote/Notion for me.

Weblinks is still broken

Does the problem still occur after updating to Capacities v1.49.4?

Luca Joos on v1.49.12 the behavior changed: Now, after sharing a webpage to capacities, it's opening the "quick actions" bottom panel without any option to create a weblink from it. Also the Capacities app still close completely after switching back to the web browser (instead of staying in the active app trail like most other apps)

Not actively worked on, moved to open for now.

dju D: This feature only works when using the native Capacities app.

Luca Joos you mean the one you download from the playstore? If so, that's what I'm using
Luca Joos
dju D: Hmm, that's weird. Is Brave your default browser?

Luca Joos Yes it is, I updated Capacities app and restarted it too without success

Mobile App - no longer able to "share" to Capacities as Weblink
I
Isaiah Ramos
I tried searching for an existing post like this, but didn't find one.
When I first started using Capacities in November 2024, I found that I was able to save URLs automatically as weblinks by "sharing" from the Chrome browser of my android phone. This was a very useful feature and one won me over to use Capacities as my primary note-taking tool.
However, in mid-December, this stopped working. As far as I know, I haven't made any changes to my settings. Ever since, I'd been trying to troubleshoot it to no avail. Part of my troubleshooting included uninstalling and reinstalling the app, using the reset button within the Capacities app, and playing with various settings to see what they do.
At this point, I'm having to copy the URL (2 taps), open the app (2 taps), create a new Weblink object (2 taps), and then paste it in; not mention whatever notes I was going to take for the link. That's at least 7 taps to do a 2 tap job that Google Keep can still do.
I'm wondering, is this a known issue? Are there steps to fix it? Or was I just lucky that it started off doing what I expected, and then it reverted to behaving as developers intended?

Android App: Unable to Share Links to Capacities

When attempting to share links from the Android app to Capacities, the app redirects to the Weblinks section but does not display the modal required to finalize the addition. Previously, I was able to complete this action seamlessly via the modal interface.
