Describe your issue

The current due date format in the “Add Task” screen is displayed as:

On 2026-02-28 at 07:50:00

This format appears technical and database-like, which reduces readability and does not follow common mobile UI/UX conventions.


Problem

  • The date format is not user-friendly.
  • It is harder to scan quickly.
  • It looks like raw system data rather than a polished UI element.

Expected Behavior

The due date should be displayed in a more natural, human-readable format, such as:

  • Feb 28 • 7:50 AM (recommended)
  • Saturday, Feb 28 at 7:50 AM
  • Tomorrow • 7:50 AM (for near dates)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the app.
  2. Navigate to the Add Task screen by clicking on + button.
  3. Enable the Due option.
  4. Select any date and time.
  5. Observe the displayed due date format.

What was the expected result?

The due date should be displayed in a user-friendly, human-readable format such as:

  • Feb 28 • 7:50 AM (recommended)
  • Saturday, Feb 28 at 7:50 AM
  • Tomorrow • 7:50 AM (for near dates)

Instead of the current technical format:
