⌘C copies the output Press ⌘C anywhere in the picker and — if nothing's selected — it copies the formatted date/time straight to the clipboard, just like clicking Copy. Select text first (in the natural-language field, say) and ⌘C copies that selection instead, as usual.

Natural-language date input A small text field at the top of the picker lets you type things like "next Tuesday 3pm", "in 30 minutes", "friday 5pm", or "3pm to 5pm" and hit Enter — the parsed date snaps into the picker, and range phrases toggle range mode with both ends set in one shot. A quick green pulse confirms the parse; misses flash red so you can edit and retry. Works in your Mac's current language wherever Foundation's date recognizer supports it (strongest in English; coverage varies by locale).

Date order follows your region The Long, Date Only, and Day of Week presets used to render in month-day-year order regardless of the system region — German users saw "März 5, 2026" when their language already said "5. März 2026" everywhere else. The three presets now pick up the active region's natural order: 5. März 2026 in German, 5 March 2026 in British English, 2026年3月5日 in Japanese, 5 de marzo de 2026 in Spanish, and so on. US English is unchanged. ISO 8601 and RFC 2822 stay locked to their respective specs. Polish Bottom padding on the popover and detached window now matches the side padding, so the action bar reads as square inside the frame.

• Preferences moved to the Sonoma-style layout: General and Time Zones are split into title-bar toolbar tabs, General is a grouped Form with proper footers, and the window floats above the main DateDrop window and popover instead of hiding them. • A somewhat more colorful icon

The Long preview's connector between date and time now respects the active locale — German "um", French "à", Spanish "a las", Italian "alle", Brazilian Portuguese "às", Russian "в", and a bare space for Japanese / Korean / Simplified Chinese. Previously the UI chrome was localized but the rendered string still read "Mai 23, 2026 at 9:32 AM" with an English "at".

What's new: - URL scheme. DateDrop now responds to datedrop://open (show the picker) and datedrop://insert (insert with current settings, no UI). Wire it up to Raycast, Alfred, Keyboard Maestro, Shortcuts, or a shell alias.

What's new: • 24-hour clock support. A new "Use 24-hour time" toggle in Preferences. Affects Long, Medium, Short, Day of Week, and Time Only formats. ISO 8601, RFC 2822, Unix Timestamp, and Custom keep their canonical formats. • Layout polish. Cleaner section headings, right-aligned Date / Time include toggles, refined preview style, and a popover width tuned to the date/time row. • Opening Preferences no longer hides the popover, so you can see formatting changes live. Fixes: • Removed the "Show in Dock" toggle. • Header, content, and action bar now share one unified surface; no more faint stripe in dark mode.

A big update with the features you've been asking for: • Customizable global hotkey — record your own shortcut in Preferences. • Multi-zone output now reads west-to-east (earliest to latest local time), regardless of the order you added the zones. • Switch between menu-bar popover and free-floating window from the title bar. • Popover now appears over fullscreen apps and non-desktop Spaces. • Header alignment, Insert button visibility, and other polish.
