About Dato
Dato puts the local clock, the date and several world clocks in the macOS menu bar. Clicking it opens a menu with a calendar, optionally with week numbers, your upcoming events and reminders, and time zones with custom names.
It can show the next event in the menu bar, display fullscreen meeting notifications, join the next video call with a global keyboard shortcut, create events and remove duplicate events that appear in several calendars. It is a one-time purchase on the App Store.
