Gather lets you choose the date format that works best for your team. This setting applies across your projects.

How to Change Your Date Format

Step 1: Hover over the profile icon in the bottom-left corner and select "Settings" from the menu.

Step 2: In the General tab, find the Date Format option. Select your preferred format:

  • MM/DD/YYYY (e.g., 03/02/2026)

  • DD/MM/YYYY (e.g., 02/03/2026)

  • YYYY-MM-DD (e.g., 2026-03-02)

Step 3: Click "Apply" to save your changes. The new format will be used across your projects going forward.

πŸ’‘ Good to Know:

  • This setting is part of your Project Defaults β€” you can also set your default currency and markup percentage in the same place.

  • Changing the date format does not change dates already entered in existing projects.
