What ⚡
Scans a directory of text files and merges the contents of the files into date-based files with creation time as separation between content.
Why 🤷♂️

How 📋
I just set up an automatter script that allows me to click on button on my mac and then the merged files go to a folder on my desktop and I can add them to Obsidian.

Templating for Output Formats

One File Output
Merge to one file instead of multiple (would need to add new header to distinquish days)
Date Ordering
Change date ordering – ASC or DESC … currently latest at top, my default
