Dato gives you a local clock, date, several world clocks and upcoming events in the menu bar. When you click Dato in the menu bar, you get a menu with a calendar, calendar events and a world clock. All of this is easily customizable.
One-time purchase with free updates forever. Dato will never be a subscription-based product.
Dato supports all locales and languages that MacOS supports for text, date, time, and calendar in the menu bar, but the menus and settings are only available in English.

■ FAQ
〉 How can I switch AM/PM time?
Dato adheres to what you set in System Preferences › Language & Region .
〉 Can you add support for Google Calendar?
This is already supported. Just add your Google calendars to the Calendar app, then enable calendars in Dato settings.
〉 How can I change the first day of the week?
Dato adheres to what you set in System Preferences › Language & Region .
〉 Can you translate the app into my language?
All date and time, as well as calendar, are in your language preference. I have no plans to localize the app itself.
〉 I added a calendar to the Calendar app but it doesn’t show up in Dato
You need to enable the calendar in "Data › Settings › Events".
〉 Data is not displayed in the menu bar
When the menu bar gets too big, macOS hides the overflowing items, so Dato may have been hidden. Try closing other apps in the menu bar. Unfortunately, apps can’t detect this and warn users.
