Older changes are listed on the Releases page.

Features

• Yearly planner: 12 months × 31 days overview.
• Localized UI: switch Diary between English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.
• Monthly grid planner: one-month calendar view with date chips, range bars, holidays, calendar overlay labels, external calendar overlays, and mobile pinch zoom.
• Monthly list planner: day-by-day list for dense monthly review, with All, With notes, and Upcoming filters.
• Daily planner: a 24-hour timeline that separates timed plans from all-day and untimed notes. Collapse the all-day section to reclaim timeline space; its saved state and event count remain visible. Multi-day ranges render as continuous all-day bars or datetime slices, with cross-date time selection and boundary resizing. Events shorter than 20 minutes use readable compact cards with time tooltips and collision-aware columns. Select an empty time slot to create a note with start and end times prefilled.
• 3-day planner: compare three consecutive days in parallel columns on the same 24-hour timeline. Narrow screens keep readable column widths with horizontal scrolling.
• Direct view selector: switch directly among yearly, monthly grid, monthly list, daily, and 3-day views. In narrow layouts it remains visible while secondary actions move into More.
• Sidebar planner: a compact monthly planner opens in the right sidebar by default, can be revealed from the ribbon or command palette, and can cycle through yearly, monthly grid, and monthly list layouts in the same side leaf.
• Date notes and range notes: recognized by YYYY-MM-DD and YYYY-MM-DD--YYYY-MM-DD filenames. By default Diary scans the entire vault, with an optional planner-folder-only scope. Title suffixes can keep visible spaces.
• File options: switch an existing planner note between single-date and range modes, choose its folder, and edit the complete date-based filename. Diary moves the file and synchronizes date_start / date_end metadata.
• Range title continuity: monthly range bars repeat their title at new week and month boundaries, while yearly cells repeat it at month and year boundaries.
• Plan notes: yearly {plannerFolder}/{year}.md and monthly {plannerFolder}/{year}-{month}.md notes, with persisted preview state on desktop and separate mobile state.
• Remembered yearly cell width: expanded month-cell widths are saved across reloads.
• Chip metadata: color, todo, completed, start_time, end_time, notify_minutes, title, date_start, date_end, and recurrence frontmatter. For range files, date_start + start_time and date_end + end_time define one continuous datetime interval; times remain independent from reminders.
• Recurring events: repeat every N days, weeks, months, or years with a Gregorian or alternate-calendar basis. Occurrences stay virtual until you explicitly create Markdown notes from them.
• Custom calendar overlays: create local fantasy/campaign calendar profiles and show one custom label in planner cells while keeping normal YYYY-MM-DD files.
• External calendar overlays: add opt-in webcal:// or https:// .ics feeds, refresh them manually or on an interval, and show events as read-only chips/ranges. Select an external event only when you want to create a normal Markdown note for it.
• Scoped styling: Diary's CSS is limited to planner views, settings panels, and plugin modals so it does not restyle ordinary vault content.
• Desktop workflows: right-sidebar companion planner, drag range selection, chip drag-to-move, keyboard activation, internal planner copy/paste/delete/undo.
• Mobile workflows: use 44/48 px standalone controls, responsive modal action layouts, safe-area-aware modal sizing, keyboard-safe form scrolling, day summary sheets, monthly-grid pinch zoom, and automatic clearance above standard or floating Obsidian navigation.
