The Daily Notes plugin showing a timeline of dated entries.

What it does

Notes are grouped and ordered by date, newest first, so a run of daily notes reads as a timeline.

Action	Result
Today’s Note	Opens today’s note, creating it if needed — 2026-08-28.md
New Entry	A timestamped entry — 2026-08-28-143022.md

Two actions because the two habits differ: one note per day you add to, or a separate note per thought.

Fields it reads

From front matter:

---
date: 2026-08-28
mood: focused
tags: [docs, launch]
project: shadynotes
---

date, mood, tags and project are used for grouping and filtering. All optional — a note with no front matter still appears, dated by filename or modification time.

Filenames

The date format is part of the plugin definition, so 2026-08-28.md can become whatever convention you already use. → Writing a plugin
