¿Por qué confiar en esta guía?
I have used Capacities daily for eight months and tested every feature in this tutorial.
Each step below comes from real use, not from marketing copy or vendor screenshots.
Capacities is a note taking app built for people who think in ideas rather than in files.
Most users only ever touch the daily note and stop there.
This guide shows you how to use Capacities properly, feature by feature.
By the end you will have a working system you actually enjoy opening.
Tutorial sobre capacidades
This How to Use Capacities tutorial walks through every feature step by step, from your first note to advanced workflow tips.
Capacidades
Stop filing notes into folders you never open again. Capacities groups your notes by object type and links them automatically, so ideas find each other. The free plan is generous and needs no credit card.
Primeros pasos con las capacidades
Before any feature makes sense, finish this one-time setup.
Tarda unos tres minutos.
Here is what the app looked like when I first opened it:
Ahora vamos a repasar cada paso.
Paso 1: Crea tu cuenta
Go to the Capacities website and click Get Started.
Sign up with an email address and a password.
✓ Control: Check your inbox for the confirmation link.
Step 2: Open the App on Your Devices
Capacities runs in the browser and as a desktop app for Impermeable y ventanas.
The mobile app covers iOS and Android for capture on the move.
Así es como se ve el espacio de trabajo:
✓ Control: You should see the sidebar and today’s daily note.
Step 3: Set Up Your First Object Types
Pick two or three things you write about often.
Books, meetings, and people are a solid starting set.
Add a blog post type too if you write content for the web.
Add them as object types so new notes sort themselves from day one.
✅ Hecho: Ya puedes utilizar cualquiera de las funciones que aparecen a continuación.
Notas sobre cómo usar las capacidades
Notas sobre capacidades lets you write everything in one calm space without folders.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Open Today’s Note
Hit the calendar icon in the sidebar to open today.
Every day starts with a blank daily note ready for your thoughts.
Step 2: Start Writing
Type your ideas straight into the page.
Slash commands add headings, quotes, tables, and images.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: A clean editor page with today’s date at the top.
Step 3: Save It as an Object
Give the note a type so it files itself.
✅ Resultado: Your first note is written and stored where you can find it.
💡 Consejo profesional: Turn on Outliner mode in Editor settings for nested bullets. It suits notas de la reunión and research trails better than plain paragraphs.
Cómo utilizar la IA de capacidades
Capacidades IA lets you draft, summarise, and question your own notes.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Paso 1: Seleccione su texto
Highlight any block, then pick the AI icon.
The menu offers rewrite, shorten, expand, and summarise.
Paso 2: Haz una pregunta
Open the AI chat and ask about a note.
It answers using the content inside your own workspace.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: An AI panel beside your note with suggested actions.
Step 3: Keep or Discard
Insert the reply as a block, or throw it away.
✅ Resultado: A long note is now a short summary you can actually read.
💡 Consejo profesional: Ask the AI to list open questions from a research note. It surfaces gaps far faster than rereading the whole page.
Cómo utilizar los enlaces de retroceso contextuales
Retroenlaces contextuales lets you see every place a note has been mentioned.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Type Two Brackets
Write [[ and start typing a note title.
Pick an existing object or create a new one instantáneamente.
Step 2: Open the Linked Note
Scroll to the bottom of that note.
The backlinks panel lists every page that points here.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: A backlinks list under the note body showing the source page.
Step 3: Follow the Trail
Click through the backlinks to related pages.
✅ Resultado: Your notes now form a network of associations, not a pile of files.
💡 Consejo profesional: Enable nested backlinks in Editor settings. You then see the surrounding sentence, not just the note title, which saves a click.
Cómo utilizar una potente herramienta de búsqueda
Potente herramienta de búsqueda lets you find any note in seconds without remembering where it lives.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Press the Search Key
Use Ctrl+K, or Cmd+K on Mac, anywhere in the app.
The search bar opens over whatever you are reading.
Step 2: Filter by Object Type
Narrow results to books, people, or projects.
Filters cut a long result list down to a handful.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: A results panel with type filters along the top.
Step 3: Jump Straight In
Hit Enter on the result you want.
✅ Resultado: You reach the right page without opening a single folder.
💡 Consejo profesional: Search for a tag rather than a keyword when you want a topic view. Tag results stay stable even after you rename notes.
Cómo usar la captura rápida
Captura rápida lets you save an idea in two seconds before it disappears.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Open Quick Capture
Use the shortcut, or the plus button on mobile.
A small window appears over your current screen.
Step 2: Dump the Idea
Type the thought and hit save.
It lands in your daily note or inbox.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: A capture box that closes and confirms the save.
Step 3: Process It Later
Give it a type and a link during your review.
✅ Resultado: Ideas stop dying in your head or in your phone’s notes app.
💡 Consejo profesional: It replaces the habit of sending yourself an email. Set a five-minute daily slot to process the inbox so it never grows scary.
Cómo usar la integración del calendario
Integración del calendario lets you tie notes to the day they belong to.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Paso 1: Abrir el calendario
Click the calendar icon in the left sidebar.
Days with notes are marked so gaps are obvious.
Step 2: Pick a Date
Select any day to open its note.
Past notes open read-to-edit, so nothing is locked.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: A month grid with dots on days that hold notes.
Step 3: Add a Weekly Note
Switch to the weekly tab for a wider view.
✅ Resultado: Your meeting notes sit on the exact date they happened.
💡 Consejo profesional: Write tomorrow’s three priorities at the end of today’s note. Opening the app then starts with a plan instead of a blank page.
Cómo usar la vinculación de bloques
Enlace de bloques lets you point to one exact paragraph instead of a whole page.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Hover the Block
Move over any paragraph until the handle appears.
The handle sits in the left margin of that block.
Paso 2: Copie el enlace del bloque.
Right-click the handle and copy the link.
Paste it anywhere in your workspace.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: A block handle with copy link and embed options.
Step 3: Embed It
Choose embed to mirror the live texto en cambio.
✅ Resultado: One quote now feeds several notes without a copy-paste mess.
💡 Consejo profesional: Embed a project brief block into each task note. Edit the brief once and every note that mirrors it updates on its own.
Cómo utilizar tipos de objetos personalizados
Tipos de objetos personalizados lets you group notes by what they are, not where they sit.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Create a New Type
Open the sidebar menu and add an object type.
Name it after a thing you track often, like Book.
Step 2: Add Properties
Give the type fields such as author, status, or rating.
Each type carries its own properties, layouts, and formatting.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: Your new type listed in the sidebar with its properties.
Step 3: Set a Default Layout
Choose how new notes of that type open.
✅ Resultado: New notes sort themselves the moment you pick a type.
💡 Consejo profesional: Start with three types only. Refine them after a month of real use, once you can see which fields you actually fill in.
Cómo usar las plantillas
Plantillas lets you skip the blank page every single time.
Aquí te explicamos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Open Type Settings
Select an object type, then open its template.
Built-in templates are there if you want a head start.
Step 2: Build the Structure
Add the headings and prompts you use every time.
Meeting notes might hold attendees, decisions, and next steps.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: A new note that opens with your headings already in place.
Paso 3: Guardar y probar
Create a new note of that type to check it.
✅ Resultado: Every meeting note now opens with the same skeleton.
💡 Consejo profesional: Keep templates short. Four prompts get filled in; twelve get skipped, and a skipped template is worse than none at all.
Consejos y atajos profesionales sobre capacidades
After eight months of daily use, these are the tips that changed my workflow.
The most helpful ones are small, making the daily routine easier instead of adding steps.
Atajos de teclado
| Acción | Atajo |
|---|---|
| Search everything | Ctrl / Cmd + K |
| Quick capture | Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + K |
| Link a note | Type [[ |
| Slash command menu | Type / |
Características ocultas que la mayoría de la gente pasa por alto
- Vista gráfica: Open it from the sidebar to see your notes as a network. Clusters show which projects you actually work on.
- Outliner mode: Switch it on in Editor settings for collapsible bullets. You can expand or collapse sections to move through complex information.
- Daily planning blocks: Use the daily note for time blocking, or the 1-3-5 rule: one big task, three medium, five small.
- MediaLab Bayern roots: The team came through MediaLab Bayern, the German media accelerator, and still ships updates the community votes on.
Errores comunes que se deben evitar en relación con las capacidades
Mistake #1: Rebuilding Your Old Folder System
❌ Incorrecto: Creating an object type for every folder you had before.
✅ Derecha: Start with three types and let the rest appear from real use.
Mistake #2: Never Linking Anything
❌ Incorrecto: Writing notes that connect to nothing, so the graph view stays empty.
✅ Derecha: Add one or two links per note. Backlinks then build trails you can follow later.
Mistake #3: Importing Everything on Day One
❌ Incorrecto: Dumping years of old notes in before you understand object types.
✅ Derecha: Work in the app for two weeks first, then import what you still need.
Solución de problemas de capacidades
Problem: Notes Are Not Syncing Between Dispositivos
Causa: The app lost its connection, or one device is on an old version.
Arreglar: Check your network, update every device, then reload the app.
Problem: A Link Creates a Duplicate Note
Causa: You typed a slightly different title instead of picking the existing object.
Arreglar: Merge the two notes, then always select from the suggestion list.
Problem: Search Returns Nothing Useful
Causa: Your query is too broad, or the note sits under an unexpected type.
Arreglar: Search a tag instead of a keyword, then filter by object type.
📌 Nota: If an error persists, the Capacities help asistente and the community forum answer most setup questions fast.
