Time

Time tools cover the gap between "what time is it" (trivial) and "what time was Unix timestamp 1747353600 in São Paulo on a DST transition Sunday" (annoying). Most of them are inspection — converting between Unix / ISO / RFC formats, computing date differences with country-specific business calendars, validating cron expressions across dialects.

Timestamps & calendars

Unix seconds vs milliseconds (the most common bug source), ISO 8601, RFC 2822. World clock handles all 600+ IANA timezones with DST rules. Date difference includes 30+ country holiday calendars for accurate business-day counts.

Schedules & cron

Cron syntax varies by dialect (POSIX, Quartz, Kubernetes, AWS EventBridge — each with subtly different semantics). The day-of-month / day-of-week OR-vs-AND gotcha is the source of most "why is my cron running every Friday" bugs.

Productivity timers

25/5 classic Pomodoro plus customizable rhythms (52/17, 90/20). The research finding is that it is the rhythm and the break, not specifically 25 minutes, that does the work. Adjust to your task.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my Unix timestamp give the wrong date?

Almost always: confusion between seconds and milliseconds. Unix epoch is in seconds; JavaScript Date.now() is in milliseconds. A timestamp like 1747353600000 (13 digits) is milliseconds; 1747353600 (10 digits) is seconds. Multiply or divide by 1000 to convert.

How do I store dates across timezones?

Store UTC timestamps in the database, plus the IANA timezone identifier (Europe/Warsaw, America/New_York) if the original local time matters. Never store "2024-01-15 14:00 local" without a zone — you cannot tell what that means. Compute local times on display.

Why does my cron skip Mondays?

Probably day-of-week numbering. Standard cron: 0 = Sunday. Quartz: 1 = Sunday, 7 = Saturday. AWS EventBridge: 1 = Sunday. Same expression behaves differently across dialects. Test against the actual scheduler's docs.

How do I count business days excluding holidays?

Use Date Difference Calculator with the relevant country selected — it includes statutory holidays for 30+ countries. For multi-jurisdiction contracts, name the calendar explicitly ("business days per [country]") to avoid ambiguity.
