Drop a formatted date anywhere, instantly.
DateDrop lives in your menu bar. Hit a hotkey, pick a date, time, and time zones, then insert a perfectly formatted string into any app — email, Slack, docs, code.
One hotkey, anywhere
Bind any combo. DateDrop pops up over the active app — no window switching, no copy-paste gymnastics.
Multi-zone aware
Add as many zones as you need. Inline or stacked. Great for scheduling meetings across teams.
Favorites, ready to go
Your most-used cities appear as one-click chips. No more hunting through a long picker list.
Date, time, or range
Just a date, just a time, or a full start-to-end range. Toggles are instant and reflected in the preview.
Flexible formats
Short, medium, long, full, ISO 8601, relative. Whatever your context needs — a Jira ticket or a poem.
Featherweight & native
Pure SwiftUI + AppKit. Tiny binary, instant launch, no Electron, no background services.
How it works
Four steps. Takes about ten seconds.
Press your hotkey
Default is ⌃⇧⌘D. Change it anytime in Preferences.
Pick date & time
Toggle date, time, or a range. Preview updates live.
Choose zones
Tap a favorite chip or search any city. Even aliases like "NYC" or "SF" work.
Insert or copy
Insert drops it at the cursor. Copy puts it on the clipboard.
