Daily Notes¶
Daily notes give you a fresh page for each day — perfect for journaling, logging meetings, or capturing quick thoughts.
Creating a Daily Note¶
Click the calendar icon in the sidebar header or use the command palette to open today's daily note. If one doesn't exist, FoldNotes creates it automatically.
Each daily note:
- Is stored in
.daily/YYYYMMDD.md(e.g..daily/20260403.md) - Starts with a heading like
# Thursday 3 April 2026 - Has a special
dailyfield in its front matter linking it to the date - Cannot be renamed (the filename is the date)
Navigating Daily Notes¶
The sidebar can show a calendar view that highlights days with existing daily notes. Click any day to open or create that day's note.
Appending to Daily Notes¶
The quickest way to add to today's daily note is via the command line tool:
Or use an Apple Shortcut for hands-free voice capture.

Daily notes support the same task syntax as regular notes:

- [ ] Review PR #42 due:2026-04-03 priority:high
