This is indeed a very important functionality! But I hope that in the future they will make basic task handling in the free plan.

I mean for sure there are people who want to be able to customize their tasks more precisely, but for me, as a normal user, the limited functionality will be enough:

Creating different task lists.
Set reminders with an audible notification
Create repetitive tasks or full-fledged habit monitoring functionality.

Optionally, the Pro version may already have more unique functionality such as:

Different types of display: kanban, timeline and others.
Subtasks and links between tasks.
Linking tasks to some specific notes
Create different custom task types, like in large task trackers. Task, subtask, etc.

In general, I hope that simple functionality will be available in the free version. And everything that is more complex and unique can be part of the Pro subscription.

I think an integration with akiflow would make the ultimate system to be honest. Capacities excels so well at PKM, and just being able to send tasks to Aki which works so well from an integrated time management point of view I think would be the ideal combo

Ian Drummond

James Thomas Agreed. Akiflow is such a great complement to Capacities!

James Thomas

Ian Drummond How are you currently using the two? I notice that a lot of features are basically made for each other. Projects for example, appear in both. I also noticed Akiflow has pretty advanced tagging, so I'm wondering if there would be scope to sync tags across the two. Really excited to see what would be possible with a streamlined integration actually. Have you tried any of your own integration using web hooks or anything?

Ian Drummond

James Thomas Yeah, I'm still pretty new to Akiflow and I only just started using Capacities but they both are so well designed and I'd love for them to talk to each other a bit better. Even just hooking up the task integration so I could create tasks in Cap that would sync to Aki. But deeper integration would be great, too.

This reminds me of AmpleNote, where they have (1) daily jots, (2) calendar (2) tasks and (3) Notes. I think Capacities is setup slightly better than Amplenote, and the only shortcoming Capacities has is there's no Tasks involved! If you want Capacities to be managed all in one, definitely add in Tasks!

Richie SoaresAmpleNos really has the benefit for more this funnleing thinking with the tasks well integrated. I think that with the steps that Capactities had with the calendar and the extraordinary Daily Notes view, t will be now more robust to have a simple task management.

It is still a note taking app first and they should not try to have too many features, but this is an add-on

In addition to the Kanban view, a Calendar view(like notion) is also required!!!

The ability to search via queries for all pending tasks or sort by project, etc. would be amazing! :)
