Mac
DateDrop is a lightweight menu bar app that puts a formatted date or time on your clipboard, or types it directly into any app, with a single keystroke.
Set your date, pick a format, and hit Insert. DateDrop disappears and the text lands exactly where your cursor is. No menus to dig through, no typing, no reformatting later.
Features

Insert or copy dates, times, or both in any format
Date ranges with a single toggle
Multiple time zones shown side by side
Custom format strings for full control
Floating panel that stays out of your way
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
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.
