Obsidian calendar plugin for writing and organizing periodic notes (daily to yearly). Navigate via command palette or calendar UI. Summarize entries with stickers in calendar view. Streamline planning, reviewing, and reflection.
Access the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl + P) and type Periodic Notes Calendar:
Periodic Notes Calendar: Open Calendar
You can create notes for specific dates using natural language:
Periodic Notes Calendar: NLDates
Emoji summaries allow you to add visual "stickers" to your notes on the calendar, providing a quick overview of your entries. There are two ways to add emoji summaries:
From the editor:
#emoji-<your-emoji>
anywhere in your note (e.g., #emoji-π
)From the calendar:
These emoji stickers appear on top of the note icon in the calendar, allowing you to quickly visualize the content or mood of your entries without opening them.
Override these CSS variables in your obsidian.css
file for further
customization:
body {
--calendar-bg: var(--background-secondary);
--calendar-border: var(--background-modifier-border);
--calendar-color: var(--text-normal);
--calendar-heading-color: var(--text-muted);
--calendar-selected-bg: var(--interactive-accent);

--calendar-hover-bg: var(--background-modifier-hover);
}
Go to Settings > Community Plugins > Periodic Notes Calendar to customize:
You can use emojis to provide a quick visual summary of your notes. The plugin allows you to choose any emoji from the emoji picker dialog. Here are some examples of how you might use them:
π : A positive day π : Significant writing done π : Achieved a goal π : Important day π : Celebration or special event
Feel free to create your own emoji system that works best for your needs!
In addition to creating notes, you can also use natural language to navigate to specific dates. Try commands like:
This feature makes it easy to quickly access notes without needing to know the exact date.
Ctrl/Cmd + Click on a date to open that note in a new pane.
If you open a note from a different month, you might want to see it on the
calendar view. To do so, you can run the command
Periodic Notes Calendar: Reveal open note
from the command palette.
By default, the calendar should seamlessly match your theme, but if you'd like
to further customize it, you can! In your obsidian.css
file (inside your
vault) you can configure the styling to your heart's content.
If you close the calendar widget (right-clicking on the panel nav and clicking
close), you can always reopen the view from the Command Palette. Just search for
Calendar: Open view
.
You can set the start day of the week in the plugin settings.
