Calendar Notes

A Joplin plugin that adds a calendar panel for daily notes.

Modes

• Zen — one note per day. Click a day -> open or create the day's note.
• Flow — multiple notes per day. Click a day -> select it; a section below the calendar lists that day's notes (click to open) and provides a + New note button.

Switch modes in Tools → Options → Calendar Notes.

Features

• Calendar panel toggled from the toolbar or Tools → Toggle Calendar.
• Days with existing notes are highlighted.
• Configurable note title formats (Zen and Flow).
• Configurable target notebook path; missing notebooks are created automatically.
• Optional template note with placeholders ({{title}}, {{date}}, {{time}}, {{YYYY}}, {{MM}}, {{dd}}, {{date:dd.MM.YYYY}}, …).
• Week starts on Monday or Sunday.
• English and Russian UI.
