Nuclear density functional theory is mature microscopic theory for studies in low-energy nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics. I will focus my presentation on its relativistic version, so called covariant density functional theory (CDFT) in which the nucleus is described as a system of nucleons which interact via the exchange of different mesons. I will start from detailed discussion of its basic features and comparison with ab initio nuclear theories. Then, I will present recent studies of different nuclear phenomena across the nuclear chart and its extremes within the CDFT framework. This will include clusterization and nuclear molecules in light nuclei, global performance of CDFT, evolution of nuclei in the crust of neutron stars, extension of nuclear chart to neutron drip line and the region of hyperheavy nuclei.Point
