About Us

DatesConverter started as an internal cheat sheet. A few of us were working on a fully distributed engineering team spread across five time zones, and we kept rebuilding the same scrappy spreadsheets — one to find meeting overlaps, one to translate epoch timestamps from log files, one to sanity-check the cron schedules powering our nightly jobs. The spreadsheets worked, but they lived on someone's laptop and broke every time daylight saving shifted. We decided the fix should be a set of clean, shareable web tools instead, and datesconverter.xyz grew out of that decision.

What makes this site different from the average calculator directory is who we build for. We're not chasing the "how old am I in days" crowd — plenty of sites serve that well. Our audience is remote teams and the developers inside them: the people who lose real hours every week to time-zone confusion, who need a meeting window that doesn't punish the same region twice, and who occasionally have to reason about a Unix timestamp at 11pm during an incident. Every tool here earns its place by solving a coordination or scheduling problem that shows up in distributed work.

I edit and curate what goes on this site. My background is in backend engineering and, more recently, in running remote teams — which means I've personally sent the badly-converted invite, missed the standup because I trusted my own mental math, and debugged the cron job that fired at the wrong hour for half the world. I write the guides and vet the tools so they reflect how people actually work across borders, not how a spec sheet imagines they do.

We keep the tools free, fast, and private — everything runs in your browser, and we don't collect your data. If you've found a bug, want a utility we haven't built yet, or just want to argue about whether async-first scheduling is overrated, I genuinely want to hear it.
