Digital Tools

By Aardelia

Built on trusted platforms. Designed for everyday life.

Aardelia develops thoughtfully designed digital systems using leading knowledge management platforms including Capacities and Notion.

Instead of creating software from scratch, we build practical solutions that combine intuitive design with the reliability of established platforms. The result is a collection of flexible digital tools that are easy to use, simple to personalise and available across your devices.

Our first collection focuses on supporting people living with long-term health conditions through our Health Recovery Journals. Future collections will expand into everyday organisation, digital cookbooks, photo journals and other practical lifestyle tools.

  • Option 1 - CAPACITIES

    Capacities, a simple note keeping software platform designed for individuals.

    It’s basic building blocks are quick to grasp, it’s a very good fit for Aardelia’s simple systems.

    • Aardelia provides a guided build (A Blueprint) which outlines objects and their properties, follow the instructions and you can assemble a practical starter system in under 15 minutes.

    • Capacities is more intuitive and lower-friction than Notion - it’s perfect for an easy-to-use, personal system without the steeper learning curve.

    • Ideal for those who prefer a straightforward, single-user environment.

    • Free Personal Capacities Account required.

  • Option 2 - NOTION

    Notion, a software platform primarily geared up for Business and Collaboration, but is widely used by Individuals.

    It has a larger range of building blocks which are learned pretty easily. Notion is also a good fit for Aardelia’s systems.

    • Aardelia provides pre-built templates. No user setup: pages, databases and views are pre-configured so you can start recording immediately.

    • Guidance included: clear tips on amending database properties and adapting the template(s) to your needs. With basic Notion familiarity you can tailor the system quickly.

    • Ideal for people who prefer a structured platform with dashboards and views pre-configured.

    • Free Personal Notion Account required.
