Date And Time

Date And Time is a simple-to-use application that shows a desktop clock. It contains intuitive options that can be tackled with ease by all types of users, even those with little or no experience in clock tools.

Simple interface and options

The interface is represented by a small window with a plain appearance and simple structure, where you can view the current day, date and time. This date is synced to the system time.
By default, the window stays on top of other processes and this option can be disabled from the menu bar. Moreover, you can restore settings to default with one click. The tool can be minimized to the taskbar. There are no other notable options available.

No installation required

The entire program's wrapped in a single .exe file that can be saved anywhere on the disk or copied to a removable storage unit to seamlessly run Date And Time on any computer with as little effort as possible.
It doesn't change your system registry settings or add new entries to the system registry. However, it automatically creates and updates an .ini file to remember your configuration on exit.

Evaluation and conclusion

Although it hasn't received updates for a long time, it worked smoothly on later Windows editions in our tests, without triggering the OS to hang, crash or prompt error messages. It remained stable throughout its runtime and had minimal impact on system performance, since it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to function normally.
On the other hand, Date And Time doesn't make room for customization. For example, it doesn't implement options for changing the font type, or the text and background colors. It looks like a rudimentary tool that's no longer in development. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself.
