About
Dato gives you local clock, date, multiple world clocks and upcoming events in the menu bar. When you click Dato in the menu bar, you get a menu with a calendar, calendar events, and a world clock. All this is easily customizable.
One-time purchase with free updates forever. Dato will never be subscription based.

■FAQ
〉How can I switch AM/PM for time?
Dato sticks to what you set in System Preferences›Language and Region.
〉Can you add support for Google Calendar?
This is already supported. Simply add your Google calendars to the Calendar app and then turn on calendars in Dato's settings.
〉 How can I change the first day of the week?
Dato sticks to what you set in System Preferences›Language and Region.
〉Can you translate the application into my language?
All date and time and calendar are based on your language preferences. I have no plans to localize the application itself.
〉 I added a calendar to the Calendar app, but it doesn't show up in Dato
You need to enable the calendar in “Data›Settings›Events”.
〉 Data is not displayed in the menu barWhen the menu bar gets too big, macOS hides overflowing items, which is why Dato might have been hidden. Try closing other applications in the menu bar. Unfortunately, apps cannot detect this and warn users.
