Daily summary
The daily summary is a one-paragraph recap of what happened in your Moonjar on a given day. New captures, key conversations, reminders due, anything notable. It’s used as the daily-note view’s empty-state and you can ask the chat for it explicitly.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”When a daily summary is requested for a date, Moonjar:
- Loads the daily payload for that date — every document captured, every conversation that happened, every reminder due.
- Pulls a short excerpt of each document (about 400 characters).
- Hands the bundle to a small Claude model (Claude Haiku 4.5) and asks it to write a 90-word-or-less paragraph.
- Caches the result for an hour, so re-asks the same day don’t re-run the model.
The summary is short on purpose. It’s meant to be skimmable in two to three seconds.
What’s in it
Section titled “What’s in it”- What you captured — webpages, photos, emails, files, scans.
- Key conversations — what you and the assistant talked about.
- Reminders due — items you needed to handle.
- Notable patterns — when the model spots one (“third time you’ve looked up car insurance this week”).
The model picks what’s worth mentioning. Routine items aren’t called out — quiet days produce short summaries.
Where it shows up
Section titled “Where it shows up”- Daily-note view — open the today screen or any past date in the daily-note list; the summary is at the top.
- Chat — ask “summarise yesterday” and the assistant calls the same flow.
Limits
Section titled “Limits”- 90-word target. Longer summaries are clipped.
- Cached for one hour. If something changes in your library during that window — a new capture, a reply — the cached summary doesn’t update until it expires.
- If you have nothing in the library for that date, the summary is honest about it (not invented filler).
