Create a daily card for tomorrow / yesterday / custom date

ivomota · February 3, 2026, 11:02am

Yesterday, I created a card for today inside the Dailies collection.
I gave the title 2026-02-03
But today, when I appended to my daily card using the Raycast integration, it has created another card with the same title: 2026-02-03

Clicking on the little icon for the daily card that I created yesterday, it says “Daily card appended to 2nd February 2026.”

Is there any way to change that? I would like to be able to create a daily card for tomorrow and append some tasks to do, or if I forget to create one from a past date, I want to be able to add one to the Daily Collection with the correct date.

I have changed that target date, but this does not work with the daily card collection.

I’ve found that the only way to get it to create the true daily card is with the API. I’d love to be able to do it in app. Quite perplexing.

@SideMatter You can create in the app by clicking here:

But this only works to create for today

Ahh, I didn’t have that collection. Makes more sense now. Thank you!!

You can also use Option / Alt + D to open the quick append to Daily shortcut.

And @ivomota you can’t change the dates of daily cards intentionally, we wrestled with this internally a bunch but it made the feature over-complicated.

It’s meant to be a record of what you wanted to did that day, once you start changing the dates, you might as well just use a normal card with a targeted date and a #daily tag and modify your Daily Collection to include cards tagged with #daily.
