Tomorrow Daily Note

GitHub Release License: MIT Platform

Tomorrow Daily Note is an Obsidian plugin that lets you seamlessly create or open tomorrow's (or +N days) daily note ahead of time — with zero accidental overwrites and full template token substitution.

Why Tomorrow Daily Note?

Obsidian's built-in Daily Notes and Periodic Notes plugins are designed for the current day. When planning ahead in the evening, users often encounter friction:

  • Manually calculating tomorrow's date or folder structure is tedious and error-prone.
  • Date format workarounds (such as (DD+1)) evaluate literally as plain text.
  • Overwrite risks can accidentally reset notes that were already drafted in advance.

Tomorrow Daily Note solves this with a reliable, one-click workflow:

  • 📅 Plan Ahead: Instantly create or jump to tomorrow's daily note via a ribbon icon or hotkey.
  • 🛡️ Zero Overwrites: If tomorrow's note already exists, the plugin focuses the open tab or leaf without altering its contents.
  • 🔄 Smart Token Replacement: Evaluates {{date}}, {{title}}, {{time}}, and custom patterns (e.g. {{date:YYYY-MM-DD}} and {{time:HH:mm:ss}}).
  • ⏱️ Temporal Consistency: {{date}} reflects the target offset date, while {{time}} accurately captures the real-world creation time.
  • 📂 Auto-Folder Resolution: Recursively ensures intermediate destination directories (e.g., Journal/Daily/2026) exist before creating the file.
  • 📱 Mobile & Desktop: Fully compatible with both Obsidian desktop and mobile apps (iOS & Android).
