How notes are matched

An item belongs to a day when its title starts with the date written in Joplin's date format, so renamed items like 25.01.2026 meeting remain visible for that day.

Undated tagged tasks

has no Joplin due date, and its title is not matched to any calendar day by Joplin's date format.

Recurring tasks

Recurring tasks are ordinary Joplin todo notes with plugin metadata stored in synced Joplin user data. Use the ↻ button in the calendar panel to choose daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly repetition for a task. When a repeated task is completed, the next one is created. If Tasks: new task template is configured and readable, the next task body is rendered from the current template with fresh placeholders such as {{title}}, {{date}}, and {{time}}, and template tags are copied; otherwise the previous task body and tags are copied. If the task has a reminder, the next task keeps the same reminder offset from the task date, so reminders set before or after the task day stay intentional.
