I found an a pp called Short cut by Yannick Rave for $0.99 that solves my problem better th a n Phrase Expr es s w o u ld You can also insert date and time stamps directly into the body of a note on some clients:Įvernote for Mac: Date Stamp ( Shift + Command + D) or Time Stamp ( Option + Shift + Command + D)Įvernote for Windows: Date and Time Stamp ( Control + or Shift + Alt + D) The Evernote help says that date and time stamps can be inserted on some clients, but I couldn't get it to work on Windows using Ctrl- or Shift-Alt-D. This is a very small feature that probably everyone can benefit from. A whole lot of effort went into making templates I can't think of any time I would ever use one. While you can move your cursor to the title and type one, often you don't really care you just want to know when you wrote the note, so having the timestamp as the title for log notes can be very useful. Alternately, a way to insert a date/time stamp (under iOS) in the above format into the title would also help, though not as much.īy default, notes have no title (though they will copy the text up to the title if you don't enter one). Now I see entries for 12-5 from 2016, 20 next to each other not good. This would save me time, and would sort right.

This is the only format that will sort dates and times correctly (using a 24-hour clock).

I propose there should be a new note type (in addition to Audio, Photo and Reminder) that is the same as a normal text note except that that the title is prepopulated with a time in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH :MM ". I just use "MM-DD" format, which doesn't reveal the year or time, which can matter. I just type the date as the title of the note, and then I can recognize it as a log note.

I create one per day to track what I did that day. 80% of the notes I create are journal or log entries.
