The Create Note with Date plugin simplifies the process of generating a new note with today's date as the filename, formatted as YYYY-MM-DD. It places the file directly in the currently open directory and opens it automatically, making it ideal for daily journaling. The command is easily accessible via the palette. It also supports multiple languages including Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese. Core plugin Daily Notes and community plugins like Calendar, Periodic Notes etc. do the same but if you are looking for language support you can use this instead.
The History Today plugin brings historical context to your notes by displaying significant events that happened on the current date in history. With customizable settings, users can filter which folders the plugin scans, ensuring relevant results tailored to their organization. The plugin leverages metadata fields such as `date created` or `ctime` to determine the appropriate historical connections. A convenient icon in the sidebar provides easy access to the historical events of the day, making it a valuable tool for learning or adding perspective to daily note-taking.
The Open File by Magic Date plugin allows users to quickly open files based on customizable date patterns in Obsidian. It supports opening notes such as weekly or monthly logs by using dynamic placeholders like specific weekdays or custom date formats. Users can define hotkeys to access these files instantly, streamlining their workflow. The plugin offers flexibility in managing recurring notes by enabling users to set patterns for files like `{YYYY-MM-DD} foo.md` or `{mon: YYYY-MM-DD} week.md`.
