Dat: Date and time for TV for Android

Brief overview

Dat — TV Time & Date is a compact Android utility that converts a television screen into a dedicated clock and calendar display. It’s built with a minimal, user-friendly layout so anyone can set it up quickly without technical know-how.

Customization and display options

• Option to show seconds for precise timekeeping.
• Adjustable font sizing to match different screen distances and viewing conditions.
• Toggleable bold text to improve legibility from afar.
• A straightforward interface that keeps controls simple and easy to navigate.

Size, installation, and performance

The app is lightweight and installs quickly, using very little storage on the device. Because it’s small and efficient, it runs smoothly on most Android-based TV boxes and smart TV dongles without impacting system performance.

Suitable scenarios

Dat works well in living rooms, offices, waiting areas, or any location where a clear, always-on time and date display is useful. The combination of adjustable size and bolding makes it readable from a distance and adaptable to different screen sizes.

Paid alternative

If you need additional functionality or a hardware-backed option, consider the USB Stick Plugin-TC (paid). It provides a different delivery method for a persistent time/date display and may include extra features depending on the vendor.
