What's better than Capacities on iPhone?

Drafted with AI from the Nemos app and its documentation. Details about other apps can change, so check their sites.
Capacities organizes notes as objects, such as books, people and ideas, with links between them and a daily note to work from. That model rewards people who enjoy structure, and it shines on a larger screen. It also has an MCP connector, as Nemos does, if you use AI assistants.
Nemos has no object types. You share a link, a Reel, a screenshot or a file into a library. Search finds it by what is inside, and smart folders sort by rule. That means less structure and less upkeep, which suits a phone, where you often have a few seconds at most.
On iPhone, Nemos makes more use of the system: Lock Screen reminders, Live Activities, the Action Button, Spotlight and Apple Watch recording. Text in screenshots is read on your device.
When something else fits better: if you think in linked notes and want them across computers, stay with Capacities, since Nemos has no web or Mac app. Nemos runs on iPhone and iPad, with an Apple Watch companion and browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari. There is no Android or Windows app.
