Linking between entries
In Diarly, linking between entries and notes is a seamless process, allowing you to create a well-connected journal.
Creating links with wikilinks format
To create a link:
- Type
[[to begin. This triggers an autocomplete feature showing your recent entries. - Enter a note name or date to search for your desired entry.
- Press
Enterto create the link.
The text in the link will automatically update if you change the title of the linked note.
Note: This is an internal link format, and as such can not be used in other Mac & iOS apps.
Linking by typing dates
On the Mac version of Diarly:
- Type a date in your entry.
- Diarly will recognize this and suggest creating a link.
Copying and pasting links
You can also create links by copying them directly from the Timeline:
- On Mac: Right-click on the entry and select
Copy Link.... You can then paste this link into your entry. - On iOS: Swipe left on the entry and choose
More > Copy Link.... Paste this link in your entry.
After adding a date link to your entry, simply click on it to navigate to the associated entry.
Links created in this manner are compatible with other Mac & iOS apps. For example, you can insert an entry link into your reminders app, and clicking it will open Diarly to that specific entry.
