Actually, I have been using Evernote for more than 5 years and never knew about Daily Note. Thank you for discussing it.

[@robertleonhard661]

I use the journaling template each day. I really like having my journal in EN. Questions: am I able to modify the template? Why does EN keep creating duplicate, blank templates? It is a minor annoyance but I would like to modify the template to eliminate the extra blank space and remove a couple of the sections. Otherwise I really like the daily notes.

I do not use the Daily Note as I have an ongoing To Do List with Checkboxes.
All I need to do is change the date on it each evening after I have amended it & it is readily available in my Shortcuts.
My method also means I only have one ongoing note each day and do not end up with 365 by the end of the year. However, for those that do "journal", I can see this would be handy.
* Suggestion: Daily Note would be better if
1. You could select from the WHOLE EN Template Gallery, not just the three that you showed. (I might then enable it occasionally as required with various templates).
2. It seems to me that you would need to edit the template daily (from the three supplied) to suit you unless they can be initially edited and saved prior to using Daily Note.
