how many days do I need to work

As a developer, I deal with dates constantly. Sprints, deadlines, "net 30" payment terms. Last week, I needed to figure out the exact number of working days between two dates for a project estimate.

I Googled it. The top result took 4 seconds to load, asked for cookie consent, and then covered the actual calculator with a video ad. The second result required me to click "Calculate" three times because of a UI glitch.

The Solution I built a Time Tools stack as part of a new utility stack I'm working on. It’s a dedicated suite for time and date logic that respects your time.

What’s inside:

  • Business Day Calculator: Excludes weekends automatically. No mental gymnastics.
  • Work Hours Calculator: Perfect for freelancers calculating billable hours or checking overtime.
  • Age/Date Diff: precise down to the day, without the bloat.

Why I built it (and why it's better) The "Old Timers" in this space (the sites that have dominated SEO for 15 years) are stuck in 2005. They are server-heavy, ad-riddled, and often sell user data.

  • Zero Ads: I’m not trying to monetize your eyeballs while you’re trying to work.
  • Client-Side logic: It runs in your browser. It’s instant.
  • Clean UI: Coz why not.

I’d love for you to try it out and let me know if the UX feels faster to you.
