Add navigation for daily notes.
Daily Note Navigator
An Obsidian plugin that adds a navigation dashboard to daily notes: links to the previous/next day and previous/next/current month, plus optional custom content rendered inside the same callout block.
How it works
Add a code block to a daily note:
```daily-note-navigator
optional markdown content
```
The plugin renders a callout with:
- the weekday title,
- previous/next daily note links,
- previous/current/next monthly note links,
- any content you put inside the code block (rendered as markdown).
It reads the format and folder from Obsidian's core Daily notes plugin. Notes outside that folder, or not matching the daily note format, show a warning instead.
Settings
- Monthly notes folder — where monthly notes are looked up/linked. Leave empty for the vault root.
- Monthly note name template — how a monthly note is named. Text in curly braces is a Moment.js date format applied to the month:
Month {YYYY-MM}(the default) resolves toMonth 2026-08,{MMMM YYYY}toAugust 2026.
Status
This is a personal-use plugin. It is not published to the Obsidian community plugin catalog — install manually by copying manifest.json and the built main.js into your vault's .obsidian/plugins/daily-note-navigator/ folder.
Development

npm run dev # watch build
