y-datecount

A command line calculator for dates.

Motivation

Sometimes I would find myself searching the web to find an online tool to see how many days were passed since my anniversary, or what date it is 100 days later. So the idea of using an offline date calculator emerged.

Features

• Calculate the number of days since/until a specified date.
• Calculate the number of days between two specified dates.
• Show the date of x days ago/later specified by user.
• Show the date of x days before/after a date specified by user.

Supported Platforms

• Linux (tested on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)
• macOS (coming soon)
