Daily notes
Open today's daily note with one action and Atrium creates it if it doesn't exist yet. By default daily notes live in a Journal folder and are named by date, such as Journal/2026-09-25.md. You can change the folder and the date format; a format containing / nests notes by month or year (for example yyyy/MM/yyyy-MM-dd).
Templates
A template is an ordinary note used as a starting point. When you create a note from a template, these placeholders are filled in:
| Placeholder | Becomes |
|---|---|
{{title}} |
The new note's title |
{{date}} |
Today's date, such as 2026-09-25 |
{{date:FORMAT}} |
Today's date in your own format |
{{time}} |
The current time, such as 14:30 |
{{cursor}} |
Where your cursor starts |
Anything else in double braces is left as it is. Templates are plain text with no scripting, so they can't run code.
