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:
- 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.
-
Each daily note automatically gets a hierarchical tag (eg:
#calendar/2025/03) allowing you to browse them by calendar navigation in the tag index. -
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.
Timeline backlinks demo
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.
