A JavaScript library that parses English-language date and time expressions like 'tomorrow at 3pm' or '10 minutes from now' into JavaScript Date objects. It works in Node.js and the browser and accepts an optional offset date as the reference point.

Use cases

• parse natural language dates like 'tomorrow at 3pm' into Date objects
• convert phrases like '10 minutes from now' to timestamps
• interpret user-typed date input in scheduling apps
• parse relative dates such as 'last monday at 1am'
• handle date expressions like '2nd of January 4:00am'

When to choose

• you need to turn human-written English date phrases into Date objects
• you want a small, browser-compatible date parser with a simple API
• your app accepts free-form date input from users

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained software with recent updates
• you need parsing for languages other than English
• you need timezone-aware or locale-specific date formatting
