dd <snowflake>— Convert a Discord snowflake to a time- Hotkey — Quickly launch from Discord (Discord application must be the front most window)
- uses text selection within Discord (if highlighted text is a valid snowflake); or
- uses the contents of the clipboard (if a valid snowflake)
There are a few options in the workflow's configuration sheet. You do not need to configure anything, but these options exist if you would like to alter time formats.
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
localTimezone |
For local time, use a different timezone than your system clock. If left blank, your system timezone will be used automatically. |
| The below variables all use PHP DateTime. | |
copyFormat |
When you select an item in the list, the time will be copied to your clipboard in this format. |
copyLocalFormat |
Same as copyFormat above, except for local time. |

The main title format of the date and time displayed. |
formatFull |
The detailed subtitle format of the date and time displayed. |
localFormat |
Same as format above, except for local time. |
localFormatFull |
Same as formatFull above, except for local time. |

If you're using my Alfred-Whencord workflow, you can set this to 1. When enabled, this will show you an additional option to pass a snowflake through to Whencord to create a dynamic timestamp for posting on Discord. |
When you import an Alfred workflow, any hotkeys are stripped out and must be reconfigured by the end user.
Setting a hotkey for Snowcord is not required, but it remains a useful way to quickly trigger Snowcord. Head to the workflow settings and set your chosen hotkey as shown in the image below.
I recommend using ⌘D (the D key is conveniently located and is one of the few keys on the left-hand side of the
keyboard that is not already bound to anything in Discord when combined with the Command key).
