- Updates5
A news-feed timeline for your Periodic Notes.
Browse your daily journal the way you browse a feed — newest at the top, one continuous scroll, no jumping between files.
Timeflow Periodic pulls your daily, weekly, and monthly notes into a single vertical view. Existing notes show a title and excerpt; missing days show a placeholder you can fill in with one click. Scroll down to reach older history; the feed extends automatically.
Features
- Continuous scroll — daily entries in one view, newest first, no future dates
- Weekly and monthly cards — period notes appear as full cards at boundaries when enabled in Periodic Notes
- Period markers — week and month dividers when period notes are off
- Note excerpts — plain-text previews on each card; Dataview TABLE queries appear as row summaries
- Gap placeholders — missing days show a Create note button
- Infinite scroll — older days load automatically as you scroll
- Live updates — vault changes (create, modify, rename, delete) refresh the feed instantly
- Jump to today — command palette shortcut to snap back to the top
Requirements
- Obsidian 1.5.0 or newer
