- Every note type configured separately (path to store, templates etc)
- Variables to insert journal related data into paths/note name/template content.
- Creating current journal notes on vault open
- Opening journal note on startup
- Code blocks for journal notes for easier navigation
Follow the steps below to install Tasks.
- Search for "Journals" in Obsidian's community plugins browser
- Enable the plugin in your Obsidian settings (find "Journals" under "Community plugins").
- Check the settings. Configure journals that you need.

{{journal_name}}- name of journal note belongs to{{note_name}}- name of note{{start_date}}- first day of week, month, quarter, year or interval depending on note type, formatted using date format from settings, format can be overridden using following syntax{{start_date:format}}where format is string using Moment.js format rules (like{{start_date:YYYY-MM-DD}}){{end_date}}- last day of week, month, quarter, year or interval depending on note type, formatting rules are the same as in{{start_date}}{{date}}- alias to{{start_date}}{{index}}- avaliable for interval based journals indicating index of interval (like financial quarter or spring number)
For easier navigation plugin provides code blocks that can be inserted into note content.
```calendar-nav
```Navigation code block helps navigating relative to current note.
Example look for daily note:
```interval-nav
```This block is similar to previous one just for interval based journals.
Example look for interval note (configured as 1 week sprints):
```calendar-timeline
```Timeline code blocks helps navigating daily notes in bigger periods (like week, month, quarter or year). By defauls daily and weekly notes show week timeline, monthly note - month timeline, quarter note - quarter timeline and yearly note - calendar timeline. This can be changed using mode param.
```calendar-timeline
mode: month
```Sample week timeline
Sample month timeline
Quarter and Calendar timeline repeat month timeline for every month in quarter or year.
