Customize date format
Pro users can customize how dates are displayed in Dynalist.
The option is found under Settings - Preferences - Date. One special value for the format is "relative" (with lowercase "r"), which will always display dates in relative format (e.g. "2 days ago" and "in 3 weeks").
Because it's common to have dates without specific times in Dynalist, we offer a second option to format dates properly without the time field, so that the "00:00 am" part is not displayed.
For example, if you want your date to display as “2017/3/12 03:30pm”, write “YYYY/M/D hh:mma”.
Note that your custom date format will always override our default, so you won’t see dates show as “Tomorrow” or “In 2 days” anymore. To use the default format, leave this option blank.
