## What is DateDrop?

DateDrop turns a date and a time into exactly the text you need, then hands it to you ready to paste.

Pick a date, a time, one or more time zones and a format. The preview shows the result as you type. Tap Copy — or share it straight into another app.

WHAT’S INSIDE

• Say it in plain language. “next Tuesday 3pm”, “in 30 minutes”, “friday 5pm”, “3pm to 5pm” — DateDrop reads the phrase and fills in the fields.

• Several time zones at once. Choose any zone in the world and DateDrop renders the time in all of them together, sorted earliest to latest. Star the ones you use and they become one-tap chips.

• 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. Turn on Range and DateDrop renders a start–end pair, each side independently editable.

• Built for Shortcuts. The Format Date action hands any shortcut a formatted date in any time zone — wire it to the Action button, tap it from the Home Screen, or ask Siri.

• Made for iPad. Every time zone sits in a sidebar — favorites first, then the full list, searchable by city, name or abbreviation.

• 24-hour clock optional. One switch in Settings, applied to every preset that has a time in it.

• Nothing leaves your device. No account, no telemetry, no network calls. Every date is computed locally.

• Localized in eleven languages. English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Ukrainian, 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 dating what they write, and anyone who has ever typed “Tuesday October 14” and then had to check whether it really is a Tuesday.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-03

24-hour time keeps your date order: with it on, the Medium and Short formats also switched the date to day-first order, so 1/5/26 came out as 05/01/2026. Now only the clock changes.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-30

Accessibility improvements throughout:
• VoiceOver describes every control, reads time zones by name, and announces copies and parsed dates
• Voice Control recognizes the names you see on screen
• Layouts adapt to the largest text sizes instead of truncating
• Higher-contrast text and outlines, with stronger borders when Increase Contrast is on
• Results no longer rely on color alone
• Animations respect Reduce Motion

### 1.0 — 2026-09-21

No release notes.
