Streams

Create and manage multiple daily note streams

Replaces the Daily Note core plugin.
Inspired by the Periodic Notes and Calendar plugins.

Features

Multiple daily note streams.
Full calendar for each stream.
New view for missing notes.
Public API for other plugins to access stream data.

Getting started

Add new stream in settings, "Daily Notes", pointing to where you store your daily notes. There will be a ribbon button and a command to get to Today's Daily Note. Disable core Daily Note plugin.
Then create another stream for work?
Then create another stream for school?
Then create another stream for... whatever.

Configure Streams

Each Stream's Daily Note

Quick Actions

The plugin provides several ribbon buttons for quick access:

📅 Calendar Icon: Automatically opens today's note for the current stream context

Commands

The plugin provides several commands accessible via the Command Palette and ribbon buttons:

Open Current Stream Today: Automatically detects which stream the current view belongs to and opens that stream's today note. This works whether you're in a file that belongs to a stream, a stream view, or a create file view. This is useful when you want to quickly jump to today's note for the current stream context.
- Command Palette: "Open Current Stream Today"
- Ribbon Button: 📅 Calendar icon in the left sidebar
Toggle calendar component: Shows/hides the calendar component.

Individual stream commands are also available if enabled in stream settings:

Stream Name, today: Opens today's note for a specific stream.

Keyboard Shortcuts

You can assign custom keyboard shortcuts to any of these commands through Obsidian's Settings → Hotkeys. Some recommended shortcuts:

Open Current Stream Today: Ctrl+Shift+T (or Cmd+Shift+T on Mac)

Public API for Other Plugins

The Streams plugin provides a public API that other Obsidian plugins can use to access stream data and functionality.

    // Get active stream
    const activeStream = streamsPlugin.getActiveStream();
    
    // Get stream for current file
