See today's date in four common formats at once, generated in your browser from your own clock. The tool below turns each keyword into today's date in that format. In the Windows app, a hotkey types the date straight at your cursor, no keyword needed.
Each date token becomes part of today's date. Combine them however you like.
{yyyy} four-digit year {MM} month 01-12 {dd} day 01-31
{yy} two-digit year {M} month 1-12 {d} day 1-31
{MMMM} month name (July) {MMM} short (Jul)
{dddd} weekday (Friday) {ddd} short (Fri)
Examples used above:
ISO {yyyy}-{MM}-{dd} -> 2026-07-10
US {M}/{d}/{yyyy} -> 7/10/2026
LONG {dddd} {d} {MMMM} {yyyy} -> Friday 10 July 2026
FILE {yyyy}{MM}{dd} -> 20260710Add {HH}:{mm}:{ss} for the time, or use {date:...} and {time:...} to format the whole thing in one token.
The date comes from your computer's clock and is formatted exactly as the tokens say, from a short ISO date to a long written one.
The {yyyy}{MM}{dd} format gives a stamp like 20260710 that keeps files in date order when they are sorted by name.
Append {HH}:{mm}:{ss} for a timestamp, use {tt} for AM or PM, or {MMMM} for the full month name.
Download this exact setup as a ready-made Today's date profile. In the Windows app, Insert mode types the date straight at your cursor on a hotkey, in whatever format you set, without touching the clipboard. Same engine as above, entirely offline.
Each line above shows today's date in a different format. Copy the one you want, or in the Windows app press the profile's hotkey to type it straight at your cursor.
Combine the date tokens in the rule: {yyyy} for the year, {MM} for the month, {dd} for the day, and {MMMM} or {dddd} for names. For example {dd}-{MM}-{yyyy} gives a day-first date.
