What it does
One hotkey, anywhere
Bind any combo. DateDrop pops up over the active app — no window switching, no copy-paste gymnastics. Works everywhere.
Multi-zone aware
Add as many time zones as you need. Inline or stacked. Great for scheduling across teams in different cities.
Favorites, ready to go
Your most-used cities appear as one-click chips. Even aliases like "NYC" or "SF" work. No hunting through long pickers.
- Date, time, or range. Just a date, just a time, or a full start-to-end range. Toggles are instant.
- Flexible formats. Short, medium, long, full, ISO 8601, RFC 2822, Unix timestamp, or custom.
- Menu bar or floating window. Switch between an anchored popover and a free-floating window.
- Featherweight and native. Pure SwiftUI + AppKit. Tiny binary, instant launch, no background services.
- Insert or copy. Insert drops it at the cursor. Copy puts it on the clipboard.
- Live preview. The output string updates as you change options — no guessing the format.
