Sound familiar?

You write a daily note in the morning, a meeting log in the afternoon, and maybe an AI summary in the evening. They live quietly in different folders – Daily/, Meeting Notes/, Work Logs/. But when you open Obsidian’s calendar and click on a day, you see only one note: the daily note.

What about the others? They happened on the same day, but your calendar can’t see them.

That’s the blind spot of typical calendar plugins: they assume one day = one note. But your note‑taking life is rarely that simple.

Calendar Hub changes just one thing – but it changes it completely

Click any date, and it shows every note that belongs to that day – no matter which folder it’s in, whether the date is in the filename or frontmatter.

For example, on May 29th, all three of these would appear together:

• Daily/2026-05-29.md

• Work Logs/work log 20260529.md

• Meeting Notes/team sync 20260529.md

Click the 29th, and you’ll see all three. Open whichever you need.

How does it relate to the original Calendar plugin?

Calendar Hub is a fork of Liam Cain’s Calendar. It keeps everything you already use: month view, daily/weekly notes, dot counters, theme following. It simply adds what Calendar was missing:

	Calendar	Calendar Hub
How many notes per day?	Only the configured daily note	Every matching note
Scan scope	Only the daily note folder	Entire vault, or specific folders you choose
Date detection	Only daily note filename	Filename + extra formats + frontmatter fallback

The plugin ID is independent – you can run it side‑by‑side with the original Calendar.

Key features (short version)

• Lists all notes from a given day by checking filenames or frontmatter dates, across folders

• Scan the whole vault or only specific folders (adjustable from the sidebar)

• Recognises daily note filenames and embedded dates like YYYYMMDD

• Falls back to frontmatter fields (date, daily_date, etc.) if no date in filename

• Shows dot counters for how many notes each day has

• Preserves weekly notes – doesn’t break your existing workflow

Installation

Settings → Community plugins → Browse → search for “Calendar Hub”, install and enable. Open it from the left sidebar icon or the command Open calendar view.

It’s newly released – feedback, bug reports, and honest opinions are very welcome. If you’re tired of calendars that only see daily notes, this one is made for you.

I think this plugin is brilliant — by using the “date created fallback” you can use it for any of your Obsidian content, which is how I think it should be used (though I’m not sure how reliable that “fallback” is). The only trouble is that it doesn’t appear to work on mobile (iOS) — unless I’ve missed something. But thanks anyway.

I also like the idea but the problem is that notes with related ideas may have been created in the past or yet to be created.

---

So my workaround is create a single daily note where I outline a problem and link to notes and in the other notes I add blockID’s based on the date created field value of the daily note, thus for 2026-07-10, I’ll have ^260710 blockID’s scattered all over where particular paragraphs are related (better than linking to a whole note, which can be long).
Then I create canvas cards with my plugin and if I want I can create a 260710 Some topic workspace as well, which workspace I can sync to mobile/tablet to with another plugin, and the canvas cards will sport the link to the workspace as well, so I can go back to topics and fine-tune ideas later, where tabs of the workspace can be markdown files, WebViewer tabs, etc.

---

Yes, it’s possible that Bases with simple MOC’s with block level linking should suffice but the canvas can be much more easily customized with groups, colouring and can be searched as well with Advanced Canvas, etc.

I never used to want to deal with daily notes but now they are very much an intergral part of my note taking because of the YYMMDD anchors.

Others do it differently with folder notes, but for me folder names are unique.
