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.
