Daystamp

Insert dates and times into your Obsidian notes in your own formats, from a calendar, a ribbon icon, commands or an inline trigger.

All four ways share the same named presets, so a format you set up once works everywhere.

Features

• Ribbon icon: one click inserts your default preset.
• Inline trigger: type @@ for a list of presets. @@+3 shifts the date three days ahead, @@-1 gives yesterday, and @@time filters by name.
• Calendar: pick any day with the mouse or keyboard, choose a preset, and see exactly what will be inserted.
• Commands: one per preset, for the command palette, Slash commands and hotkeys. Renaming a preset keeps its hotkey.
• Presets: any moment.js format, day offsets (Tomorrow, Next week), and optional links to your daily notes, such as [[2026-10-25|Sunday 25 October]].
• Works on desktop and mobile, follows Obsidian's language, and is fully keyboard and screen-reader accessible.

Privacy

Daystamp makes no network requests and collects no telemetry. It writes only its own settings file and doesn't use the clipboard. It reads the core Daily notes date format to build links. Details: Privacy and security.
