Notification Center is a useful little addition to iOS, but it’s very limited. As of now, you can’t customize it to show much more than Stocks and Weather. In this video, I’ll show you a little workaround that will allow you to display the current date in Notification Center.
You can download the script from Mac OS X Hints.

Seems easier to me to just check the date by either looking at the Calendar.app icon or if that’s not easy to find, the date is also listed on the lock screen.
Nice tip thanks
Yea, seems like a lot of hassle. To check the date, I just look at my iCal icon. Simple.
Sweeet! Im doing this. SWEEEETTTT!!!!!!!! Thanks! I may just donate .99 cents too i suppose.
This is about a easy, convient, little pull down of the thumb way to just peek at the date when needing to refer to it quickly.., effortlessly. Connivence exists when it’s that easy already.
I can’t really use this, as I need to see multiple calendar events in Notification Centre. I will probably end up with multiple “Today is..” events on a quiet day.
I think Apple should add the date in mm/dd or dd/mm international format on top of the screen to flash every few seconds. Then again you could also ask Siri for today’s date.
I’m looking for that mouse’s effect … Where I can download or buy ?
its a feature in screen flow during editing. screen is $99 and in the MAS
well those method assume you are on a home screen or lock screen. This method would work anywhere on iPhone. Say you are composing an email and need to refer to today’s date. You would either have to exit out of mail, find Calendar.app and see the icon or lock the phone, check the date, and unlock the phone. With this method, you can simply pull down the notification center and get the date
This is pretty convenient. But unfortunately it does affect Calendar.app’s notification. If you actually use the notification center to view the day’s event this may not be the best option. Is there a third party calendar application that can do same thing?
I’d like to see the timer time show up on this screen.
It’s asking me “Where is the CharacterPalette.app?
