Daily notes
core plugin - this plugin intends to be a replacement for it. Notes created through Daily notes will not be connected to any journal so it is advised to disable this plugin.Periodic Notes
community plugin - this plugin was initially inspired by Periodic notes that seem to abandoned and aims to be a replacement for it.Calendar
community plugin - starting 1.1.0 this plugin has calendar view similar to calendar plugin. It does not have all the features of calendar plugin as of now, but will gradually catch up.Templater
community plugin - starting with 1.3.0 plugin supports Templater templates in its settings. Journal plugin variables are replaced first and can be used inside templater commands.There can be cases when Templater starts interfering with plugin actions resulting in partially broken note ot journal related data removed from frontmatter. The best setup to avoid such problems would be:
Trigger Templater on new file creation
is disabledTrigger Templater on new file creation
is enabled, Enable Folder Templates
is enabled, NO Folder template is configuredThis ensures that only journal plugin is processing note template thus avoiding conflicts with templater plugin (journal plugin will use templater itself under the hood to process templater commands).
There variables can be used in note name template, note storage path, content of template note.
{{journal_name}}
- name of journal note belongs to{{note_name}}
- name of note{{start_date}}
- first day of week, month, quarter, year or interval depending on note type, formatted using date format from settings. Format can be overridden using following syntax {{start_date:format}}
where format is string using Moment.js format rules (like {{start_date:YYYY-MM-DD}}
). You can do date manipulations using Moment.js manipulation rules, e.g. {{start_date+5d:format}}
to add 5 days.{{end_date}}
- last day of week, month, quarter, year or interval depending on note type, formatting rules are the same as in {{start_date}}
, as well as the calculations{{date}}
- alias to {{start_date}}
{{index}}
- available for interval based journals indicating index of interval (like financial quarter or spring number)For easier navigation plugin provides code blocks that can be inserted into note content.

```calendar-timeline
Timeline code blocks helps navigating daily notes in bigger periods (like week, month, quarter or year). By default daily and weekly notes show `week` timeline, monthly note - `month` timeline, quarter note - `quarter` timeline and yearly note - `calendar` timeline. This can be changed using `mode` param.
````markdown
```calendar-timeline
mode: month
Sample week timeline
![Week timeline](assets/week-timeline.png)
Sample month timeline
![Month timeline](assets/month-timeline.png)
Quarter and Calendar timeline repeat month timeline for every month in quarter or year.
