Daily Day Nav

Navigate to the previous or next calendar daily note, even when that day has no note yet.

Why

The core Daily notes feature focuses on today. When you skip days in your journal, moving to yesterday or tomorrow often means manually creating missing notes first. Daily Day Nav jumps by calendar day and creates the note from your configured template when needed.

Commands

Command	Description
Open previous daily note	Opens the previous calendar day
Open next daily note	Opens the next calendar day

If the target note does not exist yet, it is created using your Daily notes folder, format, and template settings.
