Daily folder

If you want to order the notes in folders by the day they were created you can use Folderer to do this automatically!

Let's say you want all your notes created in a folder; I'll call it Inbox. But you don't want to have them all dangling around and instead you'd like to have them ordered by the day they were created. How would you do that?

Setup

1. Add Inbox as a monitored folder

Open Settings → Folderer and click the add-folder button. Type Inbox and confirm.

2. Add a rule

Inside the Inbox section, click Add rule and fill in the fields:

Field	Value
Name	Sort into daily folder (or any label you like)
Trigger	File created
Conditions	(leave empty — applies to every note)

Tip: The File created trigger also fires when a file is moved into Inbox from another folder, so notes you drag in are sorted automatically too.

3. Add the action

Click Add action and choose Move to Date Subfolder. Set the Date pattern to the format you want for the subfolder name.

Common choices:

Pattern	Subfolder (example: May 21, 2026)
YYYY-MM-DD	2026-05-21
MM-YYYY	05-2026 (default)
YYYY	2026

4. Save

Click Save. The rule is now active.

Result

From this point on, any note created inside Inbox is immediately moved into a subfolder named after the current date. For example, with the YYYY-MM-DD pattern, a note created on May 21, 2026 ends up at:

Inbox/2026-05-21/my-note.md

Folderer creates the subfolder automatically if it does not exist yet.
