Interstitial Journal

An Obsidian plugin that provides quick commands for interstitial journalling in your daily notes. Insert timestamped entries with a keyboard shortcut instead of typing them out by hand.

Commands

Add interstitial journal entry

Inserts a timestamped entry and leaves the cursor ready for you to type:

- 14:30 - your note here

Add interstitial journal entry with new page

Inserts a timestamped entry with a wiki link, leaving the cursor inside the brackets so you can type a page name:

- 14:30 - [[2026-02-26 your page name]]

Smart line detection

Both commands are aware of the current line context:

  • Empty line -- inserts the entry on the current line.
  • Bare list marker (e.g. Obsidian auto-continued a bullet to - ) -- appends the timestamp after the existing marker without doubling up (bullet format only).
  • Line with existing content -- inserts the entry on a new line below, preserving indentation.

Settings

Setting Default Options
Time format HH:mm Any Moment.js format string (e.g. hh:mm A for 12-hour)
Date format YYYY-MM-DD Any Moment.js format string for the date in new-page wiki links
Time style Normal Normal (14:44) or Bold (**14:44**)
Divider Hyphen Hyphen (-), Colon (:), Arrow (>), Slash (/), Pipe (|), or None
Entry format Bullet list Bullet list (- ) or Plain text (no prefix)
