  • Overview

  • Updates3

This is a Obsidian plugin that opens the previous daily note. Unlike the "Daily notes" command "Open previous daily note", it opens the previous daily note starting from today, rather than the daily note currently open. It also provides a ribbon icon and a command to perform this action.

Install

It is available in the Obsidian Community plugins, so you can install it from the Obsidian settings.

Installing from Obsidian is recommended, but if you want, it can also be installed manually. Steps:

  1. Download the files main.js and manifest.json from here.
  2. In your Obsidian vault create a directory ".obsidian/plugins/obsidian-previous-daily-note".
  3. Copy the files from step 1 to the new directory.
  4. Restart Obsidian.
  5. Enable plugin in Settings -> Community plugins.

Usage

Just click on the ribbon icon or execute a command from the Command Palete.
