Daily notes

Updated June 11, 2026

How daily notes give you one note per calendar day, how to open today's note, and how to pair daily notes with a template.

A daily note is one note per day: a journal, a log, a scratchpad that resets each morning. Myne’s daily notes are deliberately plain. A single command opens today’s note, creating it the first time and reopening it after.

Opening today’s note

Open the command palette and run Open today’s note. The first time you run it on a given day, Myne creates that day’s note; every time after, it reopens the same one. It is idempotent: you cannot end up with two notes for the same day by running it twice.

Daily notes live in their own folder with a date-based title, both of which you can set in Settings. Earlier days are reached by browsing that folder; there is no calendar and no date picker, by design. The command always means today.

Pairing with a template

If you keep a template for your daily layout, set it as your daily-note template in Settings, and each new day’s note starts from it, date placeholders and all (see Templates for the placeholder set).

Limits

A daily note is matched by its title. If you rename today’s note, Open today’s note no longer recognizes it and will create a fresh one for the day. Keep the title if you want the command to keep finding it.
