Message Date & Time

Sergey KalachevThread Content
Get it for macOS

Puts the date and time above every message in a thread, yours and the agent's. Labels read "Today, 2:34 PM", "Yesterday, 22:10" or "Oct 3, 9:15 AM", and older messages add the year. Choose English or Russian and a 12- or 24-hour clock, or let the plugin follow your computer's settings. A BB update can hide the labels until the plugin catches up; the chat keeps working.

Overview

View source

See when every message in a thread was written. Message Date & Time puts a small date-and-time line above each message, yours and the agent's.

What you get

  • "Today, 2:34 PM", "Yesterday, 22:10", "Oct 3, 9:15 AM" above each message; older messages also show the year.
  • Your messages are labelled on the right, the agent's on the left.
  • English or Russian, a 12-hour or 24-hour clock. By default the plugin follows your computer: the 24-hour time switch in macOS settings, otherwise the region, so an English interface in Germany shows 14:30 and in the US 2:30 PM.
  • Labels switch from "Today" to "Yesterday" after midnight without a reload.

Settings

Settings > Plugins > Message Date & Time: Language (System, English, Русский) and Time format (System, 12-hour, 24-hour).

How it works

BB keeps the time of every message but shows it only in the message menu. The plugin reads that time from the rendered chat and draws it with CSS. It does not change messages and sends nothing anywhere. Times are shown in your computer's time zone, and a time-zone change shows up within a minute.

A future BB update can change the chat's internal layout. The labels may then disappear until the plugin is updated; the chat itself keeps working.

Clickable Local LinkOpens a local document from a chat link in its Mac app, and a folder link in Finder, with one click. Text and code files keep BB's preview, and Option-click selects any linked item in Finder. Scripts, apps and unknown file types are only selected, never opened, including when a link hides them behind a symlink. A bundled skill tells agents to write local paths as clickable links. Works in the macOS desktop app on the Mac that runs BB.NewShow Latest ThreadsShows only the threads you touched in the last 24, 48 or 72 hours, so the sidebar holds today's work. A switch and a 24h / 48h / 72h picker sit at the top of the list; turn the switch off to see every project. Pinned threads, sections and child threads keep their places, and a thread that is open, running or waiting for your answer stays visible whatever its age. Each row shows its status on the right as BB's own list does: a dot for unread, a spinner while the agent works, a question mark when it waits for you. English or Russian.New
