### Notes created today
```dataview
List FROM "" WHERE file.cday = date("<%tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD")%>") SORT file.ctime asc
```

### Notes last touched today
```dataview
List FROM "" WHERE file.mday = date("<%tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD")%>") SORT file.mtime asc
```

I had the same problem described by @Pdfulkar and @victorwoo on ephemeral notes as well.
A good solution is to adapt Victor's approach to add the journaling date to the frontmatter.

E.g.:

---
created: <% tp.file.creation_date() %>
<%*
const journalDate = window.moment(tp.file.title, "YYYY-MM-DD");
%>
journal-date: <% journalDate.format("YYYY-MM-DD") %>
---

Then you can use the Dataview JavaScript API to retrieve ephemeral notes. This also allows you to completely skip the ephemeral note headers when you haven't created or modified any notes on that day.

```dataviewjs
const journalDate = dv.current().file.frontmatter["journal-date"];

const created = dv.pages()
  .where(p => p.file.cday.toISODate() === journalDate)
  .sort(p => p.file.ctime, 'asc');

const modified = dv.pages()
  .where(p => p.file.mtime.toISODate() === journalDate)
  .sort(p => p.file.mtime, 'asc');

if (created.length > 0 || modified.length > 0) {
  dv.span("---");
}

if (created.length > 0) {
  dv.header(2, "Notes created today");
  dv.list(created.map(p => p.file.link));
}

if (modified.length > 0) {
  dv.header(2, "Notes last touched today");
  dv.list(modified.map(p => p.file.link));
}
```

You can also adapt Victor's example above for navigation:

<< [[<% journalDate.clone().subtract(1, 'day').format("YYYY-MM-DD-dddd") %>|Yesterday]] | [[<% journalDate.clone().add(1, 'day').format("YYYY-MM-DD-dddd") %>|Tomorrow]] >>

But I'm a huge fan of the Journals plugin, which makes navigation as simple as:

```journal-nav

```
