Kosshi
Date Input
Choose the date formats Kosshi recognizes when you enter dated @tags.
Set the date formats
Open Settings > Editing > Date Input and choose the options you need.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Date Input Order | The order for dates with a year: Month / Day / Year, Day / Month / Year, Year / Month / Day, or Year / Day / Month |
| Yearless Date Input Order | The order for dates without a year: Month / Day or Day / Month |
| Recognize dot-separated values as dates | Also treat values such as 31.12.2027 as dates |
Kosshi chooses regional defaults separately for dates with and without a year. You can change the two orders independently.
ISO dates use hyphens, such as 2027-03-15, and always work regardless of these settings.
Dates in text
Dates written as YYYY-MM-DD in text, such as 2026-10-15, are recognized without an @tag. They appear in the Dates section of the sidebar and match date: searches.
Only the ISO format is recognized in text. To turn this off, turn off Recognize Dates in Text in the same settings.
Yearless dates
A yearless date is treated as a date in the current year. When the yearless order is MM/DD, @tag(9/12) means September 12; with DD/MM, it means December 9.
When the year changes, the same @tag(9/12) is interpreted as a date in the new year. Include the year when you need to keep a date from the previous year or manage a date tied to a specific year over the long term.
Changing the setting can change how existing yearless dates are interpreted. After changing it, check dated plans and reminder due dates.
