English

An Obsidian plugin that opens today’s daily note by matching the date prefix in the filename.

Obsidian’s built-in Daily Notes feature normally looks for an exact filename such as:

2026-07-28.md

This plugin also recognizes descriptive filenames that start with the same date, for example:

2026-07-28火 知识大整理.md
2026-07-28读书笔记.md

Features

  • Search for today’s note by the configured Daily Notes date format.
  • Match Markdown files whose filename starts with today’s date.
  • Prefer a descriptive note over an empty exact-date placeholder.
  • Show a picker when multiple descriptive notes match.
  • Create the standard exact-date note when no matching note exists.
  • Keep the configured Daily Notes folder and date format.
  • Provide both a ribbon icon and a Command Palette command.

Usage

  1. Install and enable the plugin.
  2. Click the calendar icon in the left ribbon, or open the Command Palette.
  3. Run Open today's daily note by prefix.

The plugin reads the folder and date format from Obsidian’s core Daily Notes settings. For example:

{
  "folder": "Life/日记",
  "format": "YYYY-MM-DD"
}

Matching behavior

If the folder contains:

2026-07-28.md
2026-07-28火 知识大整理.md

the descriptive note is preferred. If there are several descriptive notes, the plugin lets you choose one. If no file starts with today’s date, it creates the standard YYYY-MM-DD.md note.

Installation

After the plugin is accepted by the Obsidian Community Plugins directory:

  1. Open Settings → Community plugins.
  2. Search for Daily Notes Prefix Matcher.
  3. Install and enable it.

一个用于 Obsidian 的日记插件。它会按照文件名中的日期前缀查找并打开当天的日记。

Obsidian 自带的 Daily Notes 通常只会精确查找:

2026-07-28.md

本插件同时支持以日期开头、后面带有自定义标题的日记文件,例如:

2026-07-28火 知识大整理.md
2026-07-28读书笔记.md

功能

  • 使用 Obsidian 日记设置中的日期格式查找当天日记。
  • 匹配文件名以当天日期开头的 Markdown 文件。
  • 如果同时存在标准日期文件和带标题的日记,优先打开带标题的日记。
  • 存在多篇带标题的当天日记时,弹出选择列表。
  • 找不到匹配文件时,创建标准的日期文件。
  • 沿用 Obsidian 核心 Daily Notes 的日记目录和日期格式。
  • 提供左侧功能条按钮和命令面板命令。

使用方法

  1. 安装并启用插件。
  2. 点击左侧功能条中的日历图标,或打开命令面板。
  3. 执行 打开今天的日记(按日期前缀匹配)。

插件会读取 Obsidian 核心 Daily Notes 的目录和日期格式。例如:

{

  "format": "YYYY-MM-DD"
}

匹配规则

如果目录中存在:

2026-07-28.md
2026-07-28火 知识大整理.md

插件会优先打开带有具体标题的日记。如果有多篇带标题的日记,会让你选择要打开的文件。如果当天没有任何文件以日期开头,则创建标准的 YYYY-MM-DD.md 文件。
