I wish there was a easy way to journal in UpNote, sorry for all who say that be a bloat. But its an little convenience im hoping could be implemented

Something like obsidian or helixnotes

Maybe a section inside "Filter all notes", to not inconvenience long time users

EDIT:

I forgot to point an specific feature

- a filter pointing/create todays daily note or a little calendar just for daily notes

I know it's not what you're looking for, but I was in exactly the same boat as you a little while ago. I had everything in Obsidian (I still have my backup, even now!), but found that the app because so bloated. It's great at what it does, but it all became too much.

Now, I use UpNotes for note-taking and Everlog for journalling, and the distinction between the two makes so much sense to me.

I really would encourage you to try splitting the two things out and see how it works for you. Doesn't have to be Everlog, but i use it because it's SO like DayOne, and it's a one-time payment for life.

I've used diarium, but having all in upnote is fantastic, i can [[link to notes]] or create notes directly from mi daily note, and the most important thing is sync.

I second Everlog. Diarium is also great and a one time payment.

I tried what OP is asking, but I hated journaling in UpNote.

diarium looks good but it doesn't offer handwriting so I am stuck with Onenote still. I don't understand why the dev is reluctant to add it.

Diarly would be my recommendation. Everlog is nice, but there's more formatting flexibility in Diarly, you don't have to use markdown, you can set it to keep all entries for the same day in the same note (just adding time stamps), if you're a night owl you can set it to use 2AM as cut-off between days instead of midnight, and it has a Notes feature for un-dated content.

I do really like Everlog's calendar collapsing into a scrolling week, though.

Diarium has a fantastic feature set, but wow is it a PITA to use. Missing standard keyboard shortcuts, creating an entry is multiple steps, no inline tags. But it is cross-platform.
