How to use this tool
Confirm the target and reference dates. An empty reference may use the device’s current date, so explicitly set it when comparing a plan as it stood on a past date.
Results and examples
From 2026-09-05 to 2026-09-10 the display is D−5. Matching dates show D-Day, while a target already passed uses D+, making the sign part of the result’s meaning.
Limitations
- This differs from anniversary conventions that count the starting day as day one.
- Holidays and nonworking days are not excluded.
