Dato by Sindre Sorhus turns the clock in your Mac menu bar into something far more useful. Click it and you get a calendar, your events for the week ahead and your reminders, along with the time in other places. It works with the calendars you already keep in the Calendar app, such as iCloud, Google and Outlook, so there is nothing new to set up. It suits anyone who plans their day around meetings in more than one time zone.

Key Features

  • See the date, the time and world clocks right in the menu bar
  • Open a calendar with your events and reminders for the days ahead
  • Add world clocks by searching a huge list of cities that works offline
  • Get a full screen notification when a meeting starts, so it is hard to miss
  • Join the next video call with a shortcut, with support for many services
