Stop fixing dates every New Year
Best product for this task
GetNowDate

GetNow.date is a simple API for working with dates and time. It helps with formatting, timezones and dynamic year values across websites, emails and documents. Instead of hardcoding dates or relying on client-side logic, you can fetch consistent values from one place. Useful for footers, scheduled content and anything that tends to break around New Year.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Replace hardcoded copyright years with a single API call that always returns the current year
- Set up the GetNowDate API once in your footer template and forget about it - no more December reminders to update next year's date
- Works across all pages of your website simultaneously, so you don't have to hunt down every footer instance
- Handles timezone differences properly, ensuring the copyright year updates at the right moment globally
- Eliminates the awkward period when some pages show the old year while others show the new one after manual updates
