Designed to match iOS's native date picker appearance and behavior, it integrates seamlessly into iOS-style apps. The widget allows users to tap the text box and choose a date from a scrollable wheel interface, supporting both date-only and date-time selection modes. It is lightweight, easy to implement, and compatible across multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
