Pick how dates are written

Dates in GitGumbo used to be written one way for everyone. That was not a policy anyone chose; it was the default that arrived with the first date that needed rendering and was never revisited.

There is now a Date format setting with three options:

• Day first — 18/08/2026
• Month first — 08/18/2026
• ISO — 2026-08-18

It applies everywhere a date is shown: due dates on cards, sync timestamps, billing dates, the lot.

If you are signed out we take a sensible guess from your browser's language preference rather than showing you the same fixed format regardless. If you are signed in, your choice wins, on every device.

A note for anyone who has to reason about the difference: 08/09/2026 means two different days depending on which side of an ocean you learned to write dates on, and no amount of context makes that ambiguity safe. That is why the numeric formats are the ones offered, and why ISO is there for people who would rather not gamble.
