How it works
- Set the starting date (empty means now), the amount and the unit: seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years.
- Days and weeks are counted in this PC's time zone, so adding a day keeps the same clock time.
- Months and years need whole numbers, and a month end stays on the last day of the month when the next month is shorter.
- A date typed without a time zone is read as a time on this computer's clock.
Routines that use it
Due date in a note
Add 14 days to now, write it nicely with Format date, and put it on the clipboard with Set clipboard.
Reminder for later
Add 2 hours and save the result with Remember, so a scheduled routine can compare it and show a banner when it's time.
Next month's folder
Add 1 month, format it as yyyy-MM, and make the folder with Create folder.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Date | The date to start from. Keep empty for now. |
| Amount | How many. |
| Unit | Of what. |
Good to know
- Months and years only take whole numbers.
Questions
- How do I get the date one week from today?
- Use Add to date with the date empty, amount 1 and unit weeks. The result is exactly seven days from now, at the same local time.
- What happens when I add a month to January 31?
- The result stays on the last day of the next month instead of spilling into the month after.
