Daily Desk

Daily Desk is a calendar navigator for daily journaling and weekly planning. It opens as a sheet, so you can reach it without leaving the page you are using.

Open the Calendar

Tap the calendar button in a page header. You can open it from Library, Inbox, Search, Tags, Properties, Templates, Attachments, or Settings.

When a daily or weekly note is already open, tap its date title in the editor to reopen the calendar around that note.

Browse a Month

Daily Desk shows one month in a fixed six-week grid. Use the arrow buttons or swipe horizontally to move between months. Tap Today to open today's daily note.

• A dot under a day means its daily note already exists.
• A dot beside a week number means that weekly note already exists.
• Today has a visible outline, and the selected date is highlighted.

Tap a date to open its daily note. Tap a week number to open its weekly note. If the file does not exist, Octarine creates it before opening the editor.

The calendar follows Settings → Date & Time → Week Starts On.

Jump to a Date

Use Jump to a date… for natural-language dates such as:

• today
• tomorrow
• 3 days ago
• next Friday
• January 2027

Select the result to open that date. Date phrases also work in the Command Bar.

Files on Disk

Daily notes use an ISO date filename:

Daily/2026-04-15.md

Weekly notes live in a nested folder:

Daily/Weekly/2026-W16.md

The editor displays friendly dates and week ranges, while the stable filenames make the notes easy to sync and use outside Octarine.
