Templates

Templates are regular notes stored in the workspace's .templates/ folder. Anything you can write in a normal note — frontmatter, headings, checklists, wikilinks, tags — works in a template. When you create a note from a template, its content is copied into the new note and its frontmatter is merged in.

The Templates Page

Open Templates from the More menu or the Command Bar's Go to Templates action. The page lists all templates in your workspace with a short preview. Use the header search button to filter by name.

Tap a template to open and edit it like any other note. Tap the + button in the header to create a new blank template.

Long-press a template to rename, duplicate, or delete it.

Creating a Note From a Template

There are two entry points:

• The + button in Library — when at least one template exists, tapping + opens a sheet with Blank Note and From Template. Choosing From Template shows the list; the new note is created in the folder you are viewing.
• The block picker inside a note — tap + in the editor toolbar to open the block picker and scroll to the Templates section. Tapping a template inserts its content at the cursor and merges its frontmatter into the current note (existing values win over template defaults).

You can also type / and search for Insert Template in the editor's slash-command menu.

Template Variables

Templates support variables that are resolved when the template is applied. Variables use double curly braces:

Format strings use date-fns tokens — for example, {{date:MMMM d, yyyy}} produces "April 22, 2026".

Unknown variables are left untouched in the output.

Example Template

---
type: meeting
status: open
tags:
  - meeting
---

# {{title}}

**Date:** {{date:EEEE, MMMM d}}
**Time:** {{time}}

## Attendees
-

## Agenda
-

## Notes

## Action Items
- [ ]

Saving this as .templates/Meeting.md gives you a one-tap meeting-note starter from Library, the block picker, or slash commands.
