Daily Note Linker
Obsidian plugin that automatically links every newly created note to the day's daily note, weaving temporal connections into your graph without manual upkeep.
How it works
When you create a note, Daily Note Linker finds (or creates) today's daily note and upserts a wiki link in a configurable frontmatter property:
---
notes:
- "[[my new note]]"
- "[[another note from today]]"
---
Renames are handled by Obsidian's native link tracking — no separate bookkeeping.
Install
Community catalog: Settings → Community plugins → Browse → search "Daily Note Linker".
Beta via BRAT: install BRAT, then add nhomble/obsidian-daily-link.
Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|

| Excluded folders | (none) | Folder paths whose new files are ignored. |
| Create daily note if missing | on | Create today's daily (using your template) if absent. |
