DateDrop — Formatted Date/Time

Insert any date & time quickly

Only for Mac

$4.99

Mac

A menu-bar date/time picker that drops a formatted string straight into whatever app you’re in. Multiple time zones, a dozen formats, one global hotkey. DateDrop is a menu bar date and time picker for macOS. Hit the global shortcut, pick a date, time, format, and time zones, and ⌘↩ copies the formatted string. WHAT’S INSIDE • Drops down from the menu bar. Click the calendar icon (or hit the hotkey, default ⌃⌥⌘D) and the picker appears. Click outside or press Esc and it’s gone. • Multiple time zones. Pick any time zone in the world; DateDrop renders the time in every selected zone at once. Star your favorites so they’re one click away. • A dozen formats. Long, Medium, Short, Day of Week, Date Only, Time Only, ISO 8601, RFC 2822, Unix Timestamp, plus a Custom field that takes any UTS #35 / DateFormatter pattern. • Date ranges. Toggle “to” and DateDrop renders a start–end range with each side independently editable. • Detach as a window. Pin DateDrop as a free-floating window if you’d rather have it open the whole time instead of summoning it. • Configurable global hotkey. Bind it to whatever combination feels natural — defaults to ⌃⌥⌘D. • 24-hour clock optional. Toggle once in Preferences; applies to every preset that has a time component. • Native and sandboxed. Pure SwiftUI + AppKit. No telemetry, no account, no upload-anywhere — DateDrop runs entirely on your Mac. • Localized. Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. WHO IT’S FOR Anyone who types dates into things all day — engineers stamping log entries, project managers scheduling across zones, writers logging entries, anyone who has ever typed “Tuesday October 14” and then had to look up whether it’s a Tuesday.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• 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
