Journal

A journal entry is a page automatically created for each day. It's a lightweight scratch pad, meeting log, or running diary that keeps your day-to-day writing separate from your permanent knowledge base.

The section is called Journal in the sidebar, and Week Planning shows a lightweight journal strip on each day — a preview and a one-line capture — with a link into the full entry.

Opening today's entry

Click Journal in the sidebar, or press ⌘D.

Today's entry is created automatically if one doesn't exist yet.

Use the ← → arrows at the top of an entry to move to the previous or next day.

What to write in your journal

Journal entries work well for:

  • Morning brain-dumps and priorities
  • Meeting notes (link back to the project page)
  • Quick captures throughout the day
  • End-of-day reviews

Linking from the journal

Use @ to link from a journal entry to any other page. Those links appear as backlinks on the linked page, so you can see every day you mentioned a topic.

Tasks in the journal

Tasks created inside a journal entry are linked to that entry and default to its date as their due date. They also appear in the global Tasks board and calendar view.
