# Due Date Picker

> The due-date chip from task trackers: reads like speech (Today, Tomorrow, Friday) and turns amber on the day and red when overdue. Its popover parses typed dates like “next fri”, “in 2 weeks” or “dec 12” with a live preview, offers Today, Tomorrow, This weekend and Next week, and keeps a mini calendar underneath.
