Now is a Go library providing a time toolkit for computing time boundaries (beginning/end of minute, day, week, month, quarter, year) and parsing time strings. It supports configurable week start days, time zones, and custom parse formats.

Use cases

  • get the beginning of the current month in go
  • parse a date string into a time.Time
  • calculate end of quarter timestamps
  • find next monday or sunday in golang
  • compute start of week with monday as first day
  • truncate a timestamp to the start of the day

When to choose

  • you need convenient boundary calculations (beginning/end of periods) in Go
  • you want flexible time string parsing with custom formats
  • you need configurable week start day or timezone-aware calculations

When to avoid

  • you only need basic time arithmetic already covered by the standard library
  • you need complex calendar or recurring-event scheduling features
  • you are not working in Go
