Notes View¶

The Notes View displays your vault's non-task notes organized by date, providing a chronological view of your notes for the selected day.

What Notes Are Included¶

The Notes View shows non-task notes that meet specific criteria:

Inclusion Criteria¶

Markdown files (.md extension)
Non-task notes (don't contain the task tag in frontmatter)
Date-matched notes for the selected day
Not in excluded folders (configurable in settings)
Note indexing enabled (performance setting)

Date Detection¶

Notes are associated with dates through: 1. Frontmatter fields: dateCreated or date 2. Filename patterns: YYYY-MM-DD format in the filename 3. Only notes matching the selected date appear

Exclusions¶

Notes are excluded if they:

Are task files (contain the configured task tag)
Are in excluded folders (Templates, Archive, etc.)
Have note indexing disabled (performance optimization)
Don't have a date or the date doesn't match the selected day

Interface Layout¶

The Notes View consists of:

Date navigation header - Navigate between dates to view notes for different days
Note cards list - Displays all qualifying notes for the selected date
Each note card shows the note's title, path, and relevant metadata

Note Actions¶

Click to open: Click on any note card to open the note in the current pane.

Settings That Affect Notes View¶

Several settings control what appears in the Notes View:

Note indexing (Settings > Performance > "Disable note indexing")
When disabled, no notes appear in this view
Excluded folders (Settings > General > "Excluded folders")
Comma-separated folder paths to exclude from indexing
Task tag (Settings > General)
Notes with this tag are treated as tasks and excluded from Notes view

Performance Considerations¶

For large vaults, you can: - Disable note indexing entirely to improve performance - Add frequently-changing folders (like Templates) to excluded folders - Note that disabling note indexing will hide the Notes view entirely
