+A number of packages work well combined with Org-roam:
+
+[Deft](https://jblevins.org/projects/deft/) provides a nice
+interface for browsing and filtering org-roam notes.
+
+```
+(use-package deft
+  :after org
+  :bind
+  ("C-c n d" . deft)
+  :custom
+  (deft-recursive t)
+  (deft-use-filter-string-for-filename t)
+  (deft-default-extension "org")
+  (deft-directory "/path/to/org-roam-files/")
+  (deft-use-filename-as-title t))
+```
+
+[Org-journal](https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal) is a more
+powerful alternative to the simple function `org-roam-today`, that
+provides better journaling capabilities, and a nice calendar interface
+to see all dated entries.
+
+```
+(use-package org-journal
+  :bind
+  ("C-c n j" . org-journal-new-entry)
+  :custom
+  (org-journal-date-prefix "#+TITLE: ")
+  (org-journal-file-format "%Y-%m-%d.org")
+  (org-journal-dir "/path/to/org-roam-files/")
+  (org-journal-date-format "%A, %d %B %Y"))
