Daily Notes

Emanote has special support for Obsidian style daily notes.

If you create notes named YYYY-MM-DD.md, Emanote will treat them as daily notes. This has a couple of effects:

  1. The backlinks panel will render daily notes separate from regular notes. Daily notes render as a year-stacked timeline heatmap (see Backlinks); regular notes render as a “Linked from” chip list.
  2. Each daily note automatically gets a hierarchical tag (eg: #calendar/2025/03) allowing you to browse them by calendar navigation in the tag index.
  3. Sidebar tree nodes whose immediate children are all daily notes of the same month (typically a Daily/2026/04/ folder) render as a small 7-column calendar grid in place of the linear list — each filled cell links to that day’s note, missing days are muted day numbers.

The sample notes below all link back to this page. Notes whose filenames begin with YYYY-MM-DD show up in the timeline heatmap (in the Right panel at lg:+ widths, or the bottom strip at narrower widths), while the ordinary backlink from the Obsidian note shows up in the “Linked from” chip list alongside it.
