EasyWhen 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” — EasyWhen reads the phrase and fills in the fields. • Several time zones at once. Choose any zone in the world and EasyWhen renders the time in all of them together, sorted earliest to latest. Star the ones you use and they become one-tap chips. • Read times in any zone. The zone beside When sets where your times are read — pick Tokyo and 3:00 PM means 3 PM in Tokyo. Or just type it: “3pm Tokyo”. • 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 EasyWhen 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. • Your date order. Month first, day first, or your region’s — applied to every format a standard doesn’t fix. • 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. ## Is EasyWhen safe?

EasyWhen now keeps the time as you entered it, marks it in the UTC Offset section, and asks before copying it, instead of quietly changing it to 3:30. You can also now enter a time that exists in your chosen zone but is skipped where you are. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-21 See which 1:30 you’re copying when the clocks change When the clocks go back, a time like 1:30 AM happens twice. A new UTC Offset section shows which one you have and lets you switch between the first and the second. When the clocks jump forward past a time, it tells you what time is used instead. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-12 DateDrop is now EasyWhen — a new name, a new icon and an orange look. Your settings and favorites carry over. • Times in any zone: tap the zone beside When to read your times somewhere else, or type it — “3pm Tokyo” switches to Tokyo for you. “in 2 hours” and “3 days ago” work too (in English). • Date order: Settings → Formatting → Date order puts the month or the day first, or follows your region. • Resetting to now also ends a range, and the end of a range stays at least an hour after its start. ### 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. ## More apps by Benjamin Dansby - [MarkWell — Bookmark Manager](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/markwell-bookmark-manager/id6764493329) - [TalkProp — Simple Teleprompter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/talkprop-simple-teleprompter/id6765753942) - [NoteLess — To Catch a Thought](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/noteless-to-catch-a-thought/id6769258333) - [ChopShop — Easy A/V Editor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chopshop-easy-av-editor/id6772781521) - [PicPile — Image Grid & Collage](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/picpile-image-grid-and-collage/id6792298662) All apps by Benjamin Dansby: https://appshunter.io/developer/1895087808 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
