The Daily Note

One note per day, auto-filled from your own data, that rolls up over time.

The Daily Note
Every arrow points outward: the note holds almost nothing itself. That's what makes it cheap to write and safe to automate — the day lives in the folder, the note just knows where.

One note per day, largely auto-filled from your own data — where you were, what you spent, what you captured — that then rolls up from day to year. Each daily note is an atomic unit that carries its own properties (frontmatter) and links out to the domains, projects, work, personal, family and business it touches. Because it's typed and linked, it aggregates cleanly over any span: query a domain across a year, or roll a week of days into a summary. The atom of the Living Timeline.
