Daily notes opens a note based on today's date, or creates it if it doesn't exist. Use daily notes to create journals, to-do lists, or daily logs for things you discovered during the day.

To open today's daily note, either:

• Click Open today's daily note (calendar with checkmark icon) in the Ribbon.
• Run Open today's daily note from the Command palette.
• Custom hotkeys#Setting hotkeys for the Open today's daily note command.

By default, Obsidian creates a new empty note named after today's date in the YYYY-MM-DD format.

Tip: If you prefer to have your daily notes in a separate folder, you can set the New file location under plugin options to change where Obsidian creates new daily notes.

Create a daily note from template

If your daily notes have the same structure, you can use a Templates to add pre-defined content to your daily notes when you create them.

1. Create a new note named "Daily template" with the following text (or whatever makes sense to you!):

   # {{date:YYYY-MM-DD}}
   
   ## Tasks
   
   - [ ]
   

2. Open Settings.

3. In the sidebar, click Daily notes under Plugin options.

4. In the text box next to Template file location, select the "Daily template" note.

Obsidian uses the template the next time you create a new daily note.
