Native Daily Journaling / Calendar View
Hello TheBrain Team,
I’d love a native daily journaling / calendar view in TheBrain.
Right now, to keep a daily log I manually create thoughts like 2025-12-17 (optionally under 2025 → 2025-12), link a Today thought, and paste a journaling template into each new day. It works, but it’s clunky compared to “open calendar → click date → type.”
What I’m asking for:
Calendar view for a chosen journal thought
Select a “Journal root” (e.g. Journal – Daily Logs) and see a calendar.
Clicking a date opens or creates a daily thought (e.g. 2025-12-17) and its notes.
Automatic daily thought + template
Auto-create a YYYY-MM-DD thought for the clicked date (flat or auto-grouped by year/month).
Apply a configurable daily template to new days (e.g. Overview / Log / Reflection).
Quick “Today” shortcut
A built-in “Go to Today’s Journal” action that jumps to (or creates) today’s entry.
Competitive edge:
A smooth, built-in journaling/calendar experience would give TheBrain a strong edge over traditional note apps and PKM tools:
Many people already journal in Obsidian/Notion/Day One/etc. but lack TheBrain’s graph of connections.
Combining a frictionless calendar-based daily log with TheBrain’s associative linking (to projects, people, ideas) would make it a uniquely powerful “life OS” for both thinking and reflection.
It would also make TheBrain more attractive as a habit / mood / progress tracking tool, not just knowledge storage.
Even a minimal implementation (calendar picker + auto-date thoughts + “Today” button + template) would significantly improve the journaling experience.
Thank you for considering this.
Best regards,
