For me, having the ability to see what date the note was created would be useful. Perhaps in the right pane?
Not a deal breaker, just a nice to have.

We’ve seen this been asked for a few times, we’ll think about making this “metadata” presented in some way. Thanks for the feedback.

I’m using a work around for now.
I use text expander to drop the following in the first line of each note when code typed:
SDS: %snippet: mydate%|%snippet: mytime%
this results in:
SDS: 20180629|225151
I use this system across all parts of my “Schedule-Diary-[notes]_System” … copy/paste from one app to another allows me to track between otherwise unconnected apps. in long docs I will embed at critical points so I have a “finer grained” universal index.
This is simpler (and more fine grained in single user system) that the complex UUID approach.
Of course I much prefer a well defined URL scheme (with x-callback functionality) but find the process described above as a useful hack.

I’d like to renew this for a request - love the app and could COMPLETELY replace my paper if I had more control over a “Header Block” with date, time, weather, start and end times…or better yet, the ability to WYSISYG the Header with whatever fields wanted based on the users - use- of the agenda app.
Great app, keep it coming!

Ps - if I’ve missed something and it’s available now…d’oh, and how?
How about making it an option, defaulting to off?
This would please both camps.
I would love this feature as well. I would certainly help when trying to keep track of things overall and time frames. when you need this for history or tracking any type of trend for reference or analysis. Of course you should have the option to make it on by default or not, However I believe this flexibility should be extend even further. Ideally, I would like the option to be very fine grained. Have it for the most general level to the most detailed level. At the very least I think you should be able to have it as an option for the project level, having any notes created within it automatically dated. while this option is on (your choice to also include the option to show the date or not too [most preferable is to show it]). I think this could easily be extended to the higher levels (category or everything). I think including the most detail level (before or after any line and/or before or after an item or token) would just further enrich this very awesome program.

I’d love to see this as well. Currently, the only way of figuring out what date a note was created is by clicking the gear icon (which shows “last edited”) and then “show info”, which reveals “created at: …”
Would be great to have an option to always display that (at the top or bottom of the note). Especially for meeting notes, we’d always want to know the date, and while it’s easy to add as text with the cmd-shift-comma shortcut, it’d be great to also display the metadata.
Perhaps even consider an option to display both, date created and date edited?
We added the ability to put dates on notes for exactly this reason. It’s best to use the calendar icon top-right on a note to set a date or range of dates for the note.
The creation date is much less powerful, because you can’t change it, and the note has to be relevant today. If the meeting you are preparing for is tomorrow, it doesn’t work.
You can set the behavior in settings of the app to have new notes assigned to today. That is quite similar to using the creation date, with the advantage that you can actually change the date if needed.
Hope that explains it.
