Dates & Times

No more counting days on a calendar!
Dates in Soulver are detected using Apple's date detector (thanks Apple!), and many date formats are recognised. These may also depend on your system region settings & language.

Ambiguities in calendar calculations
Ambiguous months
Unlike days and weeks, months are not clearly defined in terms of seconds. Apple's calendar calculator  attempts to do the most logical thing given the expression. It's smart at taking into account leap years, and other calendar peculiarities:
Feb 28 + 1 month                                   | 28 March
January 31 2020 + 1 month                          | February 29 2020
Dates with unspecified years
A date without the year specified may use either the current year or the following year.
# In December 2019
​
// next year is assumed, as the nearest January is in the future
January 12 + 3 weeks                               | 2 February 2020
​
// this year is assumed, as the month is still recently in the past
November 1 - 5 days                                | 27 October 2019
