Quick Daily Note 快捷日记
English | 简体中文
A daily-journal and todo companion plugin for Obsidian: one-click daily notes, a calendar panel with per-day todos, scheduled reminders, and paste/rendering enhancements.
Features
📝 Daily Notes
- Click the calendar icon in the ribbon, or run the command "New daily note (enter name)" to create a note titled "date + name" — the folder and date format are configurable. If a note with the same name exists, it opens directly.
- In the sidebar calendar panel, double-click a date to open or create that day's note.
✅ Calendar & Todos
- The calendar panel manages todos per day: add with the input box (Enter), check off, double-click to edit text, ✎ to modify, ⧉ to copy, × to delete.
- When yesterday has unfinished todos, a "Carry over to today" banner appears at the top — one click moves them to today, marked as "carried over".
- Below the calendar: stats for this month's diary days, consecutive diary days, and today's word count.
⏰ Reminders
- Scheduled prompts to add a todo, or to check the day's unfinished todos; clicking the notification opens the calendar panel.
📊 Weekly Review
- The command "Generate weekly review" summarizes the week's diaries (days, word count, titles) and completed/uncompleted todos into Markdown, inserted at the cursor.
⌨️ Paste Enhancements
- Auto-detect the language of pasted code (30+ languages, including Mermaid diagrams, zero dependencies) and wrap it in a fenced code block; plain text, single-line weak matches, and pastes inside code blocks are left alone.
- Optionally save pasted images into a configurable folder (vault-relative path; empty = vault root) and insert the link at the cursor (off by default).
- File explorer paste — copy/cut files in the sidebar file explorer with
Ctrl/Cmd+C / Ctrl/Cmd+X, then paste them into a target folder with Ctrl/Cmd+V (VS Code style, toggleable).
- Code block delete — a delete button next to the native copy button on rendered code blocks (reading view & live preview) removes the whole block from the note.
🖼️ Image Enhancements
- Images fit the note width automatically; overly tall images are height-limited.
- Hover a rendered image for a toolbar: crop, zoom, copy, rename, delete (deleting also removes the references in notes and moves the file to the system trash).
- Click an image to view it enlarged, with crop and other actions in the modal toolbar.
📈 Mermaid Enhancements
- Diagrams fit the container width (or render at original size), with a configurable height limit for tall diagrams.
- Toolbar above the diagram (outside the rendered frame): zoom in/out, reset, download as SVG or PNG (export scale configurable); click a diagram to view it enlarged.
- Diagrams adapt to the page width when printing or exporting to PDF — never clipped.
🌤️ Weather Recording
- When enabled, the current day's weather is fetched and written below the note title after creating a daily note (data from Open-Meteo, no API key; failures never block note creation).
🖼️ App Background
- Set the whole interface background to a custom image or video from your vault — videos (mp4/webm/ogv) play as a dynamic wallpaper — with full adjustments: opacity, blur, brightness, contrast, position, scale and fit mode.
