The On This Day plugin enhances journaling in Obsidian by displaying past daily notes from the same calendar date in previous years. It provides a simple panel view that automatically updates when switching between daily notes. Users can quickly revisit past entries, reflecting on previous thoughts, experiences, and progress. The plugin integrates with the Daily Notes core plugin, ensuring compatibility with existing workflows.

The Navigate Cursor History plugin enhances navigation in Obsidian by tracking the most recent 50 cursor positions, allowing users to move back and forth between them, similar to functionality in VSCode. This feature makes it easier to revisit recent edits or views within a note. The plugin automatically records cursor positions every second, though the history is not saved permanently. If a new move is made during navigation, the forward history is reset. Users can also assign hotkeys for quick access to the 'Go back' and 'Go forward' commands, improving workflow efficiency.
