  Hi,

  I want to retrieve some dayone journal entries with macos/ios shortcuts. There is a dayone shortcut command “finde entries”, but all what I get is a datetime and not the content of the dayone entry.

  What can I do? / What can you do, to solve the problem?
  
  How can I access content from my journal in a script or automation?

  Thank you

  André

  Hi André! It sounds like you’ve started using the Slash Commands on Day One, which will modify the content of your entries, like adding a date: https://dayoneapp.com/guides/tips-and-tutorials/slash-commands-for-day-one/

  I think instead you will want to look at the keyboard shortcuts we have for easily searching entries to meet your goals: https://dayoneapp.com/guides/tips-and-tutorials/keyboard-shortcuts/
