Plugin: Journal

Sorry if I did not use the correct name, but I meant the toolbar that also contains the "toggle editor layout" button and the "note property" button on the desktop app.

@antoonvdr Ah, that's OK. I'll add this button later :grinning_face:, thanks for this suggestion!

That would be awesome.
Perhaps also for the mobile version, so that the button appears like here:


Thanks!!

Sorry, I have no android device, I can't test this for mobile. But pull requests for this are welcome :sweat_smile:

Do we know what the approval process is for getting the mobile version of the plugin to become available for install?

(this is less of a question for @leenzhu because I think the work is done already, but the plugin does not appear when I try to add it on iOS mobile, so I hope someone on the Joplin team can answer!)

I wanted to use “Journal.” However, as far as I could try it out, one thing was missing.

The calendar only recognizes Journal notes if they follow a calendar format such as YYYY-MM-DD. If I add additional letters after that, it no longer works.

However, I would like to give the diary entry a title. That makes it easier to find.

E.g.

2025-07-29 Successfully tested the Journal plugin

You could also specify a fixed separator (colon or hyphen or ...) between the date and the text title.

Otherwise: Thanks to everyone who creates great plugins for Joplin :grinning_face:

Totally agree on that - my journal entries also have text after the dat YYYY-MM-DDand when I manually move my existing notes to the folder structure from the journal notebook the plugin doesn’t register/know about such already existing notes.

I also have the problem that Joplin list the plugin with v2.0.0 :thinking: ? I’ve tried to manually load the 2.3.0.jpl file and restarted Joplin but it stays at 2.0.0!

Shouldn’t line 5 here be 2.3.0? So

"version": "2.3.0",

instead of

"version": "2.0.0",

Sorry for the mistake, I forgot to update the version in manifest.json since version 2.0.0.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll think about it latter.
