Yes, `paper import` handles this. just point it at the folder your daily notes live in:
```
paper import <your-path-to-journals> --dry-run
```
Comment:
1. I personally keep all my Obsidian journals in a journal folder, so that's easy for me to do
2. highly recommend you to use the `--dry-run` option if you are not sure what files will be imported
Two things worth knowing.
1. It reads every `.md` and `.txt` inside that folder
2. file with no date in its name is still imported, and last modified date will become its filename in "paper".

You can read more about its logic in the "Importing existing notes" section on the npm page: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@rewrlution/paper-cli
Hope it works and hope you will enjoy it!
You can use ‘paper config’ to specify the working directory, then all the journals will be saved to that path.
