Daily Notes

Daily notes allow you to quickly create and access notes for today.

Try it out, run the Foam: Open Daily Note command.

Shortcuts and Snippets

You can quickly open today's daily note by pressing alt+d. You can also automatically open today's note via the Foam › Open Daily Note: On Startup setting.

You can also quickly create link to your daily notes, in the configured format, using snippets.

Type /today and press enter to link to today's note. You can also write:

| Snippet | Date | | | - | | /tomorrow | tomorrow | | /yesterday | yesterday | | /monday | next monday | | /+1d | tomorrow | | /-3d | 3 days ago | | /+1w | in a week | | /-1m | one month ago | | /+1y | in one year |

You get the idea ;)

Configuration

It's possible to customize path and heading of your daily notes, by following the dateformat masking syntax. The following properties can be used:

  "foam.openDailyNote.directory": "journal",
  "foam.openDailyNote.filenameFormat": "'daily-note'-yyyy-mm-dd",
  "foam.openDailyNote.fileExtension": "mdx",
  "foam.openDailyNote.titleFormat": "'Journal Entry, ' dddd, mmmm d",

The above configuration would create a file journal/daily-note-2020-07-25.mdx, with the heading Journal Entry, Sunday, July 25.
