# date(_:kind:)

Tells the system a widget is relevant at a specific date and provides an additional contextual hint.

```
static func date(_ exact: Date, kind: RelevantContext.DateKind) -> RelevantContext
```

## Parameters

`exact`

The moment the widget becomes most relevant to a person.

`kind`

An additional contextual hint that helps the system determine the widget’s relevance.

## Return Value

A contextual clue that the system uses to determine the relevance of a widget in the Smart Stack on Apple Watch.

## Discussion

Several widgets might be relevant to a person at a specific time. To help the system show a widget
when it’s most relevant, provide a `DateKind` as an additional contextual hint to help it determine
the widget’s relevance. For example, a widget that’s related to a person’s schedule or requires an action,
pass [`scheduled`](/documentation/RelevanceKit/RelevantContext/DateKind/scheduled).

> Note: Smart Stacks are available in iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. However, functionality provided by RelevanceKit API is only available
> in watchOS. Calling its API on other platforms doesn’t have any effect.
