In short:
A built-in Obsidian plugin that creates a new note every day — with the date in the title and a template, if you want. It’s your personal daily diary inside Obsidian.
🔧 What it can do
- Automatically creates a new note with the current date
- Lets you set a template (via Templates)
- Conveniently opens with a hotkey
- Good for morning plans, evening reflections, a log of thoughts
🛠 How to use it
- Activate the plugin:
Settings → Core plugins → Daily notes - Set up the path, the date format, the template
- Use the button in the sidebar or assign a hotkey
- You can make it so that when you open Obsidian — today’s note opens automatically
💡 Examples of use
- 🧠 Morning thoughts and the day’s focus

The plugin is simple, but it becomes a habit. Even if you don’t keep a diary — at the very least, it gives you a place to “dump your head”.
