Dates in blocks

Type @ and a day to link a block to that day.

Click the link to open the day. The day's page lists your block under Backlinks.

How

1. Type @ at the start of a block or after a space.
2. Type a day, in any of the ways below. The list shows the day it means.
3. Press Enter.

The link shows the date itself, such as “Fri, Oct 16”, never “Tomorrow”, in grey words with a small calendar before it. So the block still names the right day next week. A date in another year shows its year too. A week, a month, a quarter or a year shows its name, such as “Week 46”, “December 2026” or “Q4 2026”.

What you can type

Rules

• No year given: this year's date. If that date was more than two months ago, next year's. So in late December, @jan 3 means the coming January. A month, a quarter or a week that is already over means next year's: in November, @oct means next October.
• A name comes first: if a page or an entity starts with what you typed, it is listed before the day. @tom lists Tom before Tomorrow.
• Spaces: after a space, the list stays open only while the words can still become a day, like @next , @oct , @oct 1 or @in 3. Then it lists only dates. So @in the morning never makes a page.
• A date that does not exist, like Feb 30, is not offered.

Days in other places

• The command menu reads the same words. Press ⌘K and type fri or oct 15 to go to that day.
• A date field on an entity (a due date) is set with a calendar or typed, and can hold a week, a month, a quarter or a year as well as a day. Those entities show on the day under Dated this day elsewhere, and on the Calendar.
• The sidebar has Today, recent days under Recents, and a month calendar at its foot.

A date that repeats

A Date field can repeat, and can have an end date: type “every Monday” in its box, or use Repeat and Add end date. A week, a month, a quarter or a year can repeat too, such as “November 2026 · every month”. See Dates in Fields.

Week, month, quarter and year pages

Every day sits in a week, a month, a quarter and a year, and each of those has a page of its own, as a day does. Each wears its own tag: #day, #week, #month, #quarter, #year.

• On a day page, click ⌄ beside Today (or right-click Today) for the date menu: Today, This Week, This Month, This Quarter, This Year.
• In the month calendar, click the month, the quarter or the year at its top, or a week's number at the left, to open that page.
• On a week, month, quarter or year page, ‹ and › step to the one before or after.
• The path above a day's title shows the year, the quarter, the month and the week it sits in. Click one to go there.
• A week, month, quarter or year page lists in its right panel what is dated in it. See Dated this day elsewhere.
• Weeks follow Week starts on in Settings.

Pages that come back every year

Some dates come back: October 22 every year, every Thursday, every October. Each of those has a page too, with its own tag, so you can keep what belongs to it there.

The date menu has This Eternal Day, This Weekday, This Eternal Month and This Eternal Quarter. Related dates, in the right panel's Links view, on any date page, lists the pages it sits in and the ones that come back. On any other page it lists the page's own Date fields, the dates of what its fields link to, and the days its blocks are dated to or name.
