Every Destination decides where in the note your text goes. You can add it at the very top or bottom of the note, or at the start or end of a specific section.
These settings are under Note placement when you create or edit a Destination.
Settings
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Section | The heading to write under. Leave it blank to use the note’s beginning or end. | Blank |
| Insert note | Before or After the existing content | After |
The hint below the toggle always tells you the result:
| Section | Insert note | Result |
|---|---|---|
| blank | Before | Your text will appear at the top of the file, just after the Properties (frontmatter) if the note has any |
| blank | After | Your text will appear at the bottom of the file |
Ideas | Before | Your text will appear before Ideas section’s content, so it becomes the first entry in that section |
Ideas | After | Your text will appear after Ideas section’s content, so it becomes the last entry in that section |
Date tokens in sections
Section names can contain tokens, filled in when you save. Tap date format constructor to build one. Examples:
| Section | Result on Wednesday, 23 September 2026 |
|---|---|
{{dddd}} | Wednesday |
## Log {{YYYY-MM-DD}} | ## Log 2026-09-23 |
{{[Week] w}} | Week 39 |
{{title}}, {{auto}} and {{gps}} work here too. If the Destination has a Time shift, section dates use the shifted time. See Tokens and Date formats.
Example: a log in your Daily Note
- Create a Folder Destination for your Daily Notes folder, with New note name
YYYY-MM-DD. - Set Section to
## Logand Insert note to After. - Add a Wrap capture action to the Route, with the custom template
- {{HH:mm}} {{content}}.
Each capture is added as a new timestamped bullet at the end of today’s Log section.
