Journal View

Journal View

Give your daily notes a sense of continuity. Journal View brings them together in one scrollable, editable timeline, so revisiting the past and writing today feel like part of the same story.

Open Journal View from the sidebar or run Open journal from the command palette.

• Use the daily notes you already have. Journal View works with your existing notes and daily-note settings—no plugin-specific formats, duplicate files, or lock-in.
• Navigate and edit in one place. Scroll through your journal, jump to any date, or return to today in one click, and read and write without switching between files, views, or editing modes.
• Rediscover past entries. Search across your journal to find notes, ideas, and memories from any day, revisit a random past day, and see how much you have written over the years in statistics.
• Focus the timeline. Filter daily notes by tags or property values, with include and exclude rules.
• See what else each day held. Optionally list the files you created or edited on each day, alongside that day's note.
• Stay responsive across years of notes. Journal View keeps the days around you ready to edit while efficiently handling the rest of your timeline.
