Obsidian Daily Notes Prefix Matcher
English
An Obsidian plugin that opens today’s daily note by matching the date prefix in the filename.
Obsidian’s built-in Daily Notes feature normally looks for an exact filename such as:
2026-07-28.md
This plugin also recognizes descriptive filenames that start with the same date, for example:
2026-07-28火 知识大整理.md
2026-07-28读书笔记.md
Features
- Search for today’s note by the configured Daily Notes date format.
- Match Markdown files whose filename starts with today’s date.
- Prefer a descriptive note over an empty exact-date placeholder.
- Show a picker when multiple descriptive notes match.
- Create the standard exact-date note when no matching note exists.
- Keep the configured Daily Notes folder and date format.
- Provide both a ribbon icon and a Command Palette command.
Usage
- Install and enable the plugin.
- Click the calendar icon in the left ribbon, or open the Command Palette.
- Run Open today's daily note by prefix.
The plugin reads the folder and date format from Obsidian’s core Daily Notes settings. For example:
{
"folder": "Life/日记",
"format": "YYYY-MM-DD"
}
Matching behavior
If the folder contains:
2026-07-28.md
2026-07-28火 知识大整理.md
the descriptive note is preferred. If there are several descriptive notes, the plugin lets you choose one. If no file starts with today’s date, it creates the standard YYYY-MM-DD.md note.
