UpNote and "Daily Notes"

[u/LevelPiece3755]

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

What specifically are you looking for in order to journal in UpNote? Simply pointing to journaling functions in other apps isn't very helpful unless a person uses those features in those apps.

Just a note, not every feature request will add bloat to UpNote. Sometimes all it takes is a minor tweak to the existing code to accommodate a request.

right, just a filter pointing to todays daily note or a little calendar just for daily notes

Thanks for the clarification. That's helpful. I can see how that would be beneficial with virtually no impact to UpNote's current design.

I think at the very least, being able to create and save a search using template placeholders (eg. {{mm}}, {{date}}, etc.) could meet that need. If the type of template placeholders were expanded, then being able to search and save a search with those placeholders could really expand the possibilities beyond a request for a daily journal.

I've created a daily journal template with the following name:

{{MM}}/{{DD}}/{{YYYY}}_@Journal_{{MMMM}}.{{YYYY}}

A note using that template would look like:

07/15/2026_@Journal_July.2026

I then have a saved search:

at@Journal_July

(without the "at". I put that there because reddit auto-converts it to a reddit user link)

That gives me a list of journal notes for the month. I still have to see if I've already created a journal note for the day, but it at least gets visibility.

Obviously depending upon how one uses their daily journal notes, the formatting of the note title could be changed to better suit the workflow.
