buff docs › Looking back

Every note belongs to a day, so looking back is a matter of picking the days.

One day

  • /today shows today’s notes.
  • /day yesterday, /day mon, /day -3 (three days ago) or /day 2026-01-15 shows any other day.

A week

  • /week shows this week, day by day.
  • /week -1 is last week, /week -2 the week before. You can also give a date inside the week you want.
  • Choose whether weeks start on Monday or Sunday in Options → Input.

A month

  • /month shows one line per day with notes. Tap a day to open it.
  • /month 2026-09 or /month -1 for other months.
  • /cal shows a calendar; days with notes are marked with •. Tap a day to open it. /cal -1 is last month.
  • /find cafe searches every note you’ve written.
  • /find "cost breakdown" matches the exact phrase.
  • Long result lists come a page at a time; /find more shows the next page.
  • Search also covers documents you’ve added with /ingest (see Capture from anywhere).

By person or project

To see everything about one person, project or topic instead of one stretch of time, use /show (see People, projects and topics).

Tips

  • Tap any date in the output to open that day.
  • Or ask in plain words: @buff what did I do last week (see Ask buff).
