Hi Chris

Could you please share how you do this? I’m familiar with Keyboard > Text in MacOS/iOS, but I don’t see how to create a relative date.

Cheers

Same here!

"#created (today)” is a special tab that Agenda recognizes in a note, and automatically expands it with the appropriate date. You can use it directly - type it in - but since it’s a bunch of characters to type, I use the MacOS and iPadOS keyboard shortcuts feature to make it easier on my fingers. The shortcut gets expanded, and then interpreted in an Agenda note.

Ah! Thanks.

After a bit of experimentation I’ve discovered this is exactly what I need! I sometimes need to keep a record of my contact with a client or stakeholder. If it’s a substantive contact it merits its own note - eg a record of a meeting.

But often, it’s a single note to keep track of my attempts to call someone, or to summarise an ongoing ‘conversation’, eg called X, Y said he’s on leave until Monday; called X today, left voicemail; X called said he can’t help, speak to Z.

Followin Chris’s prompt I’ve realised I can now create tags for this situations:

#called(today) #emailed(yesterday) etc

In fact it can be #anything(today)!

I’ll now create relevant shortcuts in Keyboard prefs - thanks!

As far as a DATE stamp, this solves it for me. But a TIME stamp would be cool - all it would take would be for #tag(time) or #tag(now) to expand to DATE&TIME.

Great tip, and indeed you can use it for many different situations. Regarding the time stamp feature, we still have some ideas coming in a future update of Agenda that will make this possible. Now we just need to find the time to get to it…

Hi, is it any news for time stamps for this year?

Really need this feature (for TIME stamp only and for both TIME & DATE stamp)

Good news, it’s already there: Creating and Using Templates - #4 by system. You can type \date, \time, or \now to insert a timestamp. Plus, the link above shows you how to you can further tweak the format to your liking.
