Settings

|---|---|
| Date format | How the date is written in calendar note titles, e.g. 25.01.2026, 2026-01-25, 01/25/2026 |
| New note title | Title preset for notes created by the plugin: date and time, or date with automatic numbering |

| Notes: new note template | Joplin note used as a body template for new notes, e.g. Templates/Calendar note; template tags are copied to created notes |
| Tasks: notebook | Notebook path for new active todo tasks, e.g. Tasks; missing notebooks are created automatically |
| Tasks: nested notebooks | Optional path inside the tasks notebook, e.g. {{year}}/{{month}} |
| Tasks: completed notebook | Notebook path where completed tasks are moved, e.g. Completed tasks; missing notebooks are created automatically |

How notes are matched
Notes are matched only inside the configured notes notebook and its nested notebooks. Active Joplin todo tasks are matched only inside the configured tasks notebook and its nested notebooks. Completed tasks are moved to the configured completed tasks notebook. An item belongs to a day when its title starts with the selected date format, so renamed items like 25.01.2026 meeting remain visible for that day. New notes and tasks are created in their own configured notebooks. If a nested structure is set, missing nested notebooks are created automatically.
Recurring tasks
Recurring tasks are ordinary Joplin todo notes with plugin metadata stored in synced Joplin user data. Use the ↻ button in the calendar panel to choose daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly repetition for a task. When a repeated task is completed, the next one is created. If Tasks: new task template is configured and readable, the next task body is rendered from the current template with fresh placeholders such as {{title}}, {{date}}, and {{time}}, and template tags are copied; otherwise the previous task body and tags are copied. If the task has a reminder, the next task keeps the same reminder offset from the task date, so reminders set before or after the task day stay intentional.
