Frequently Asked Questions

How random are the generated dates?

The tool uses JavaScript's built-in Math.random() function to pick dates and times uniformly within your specified range. Each date/time has an equal chance of being selected, ensuring true randomness. The algorithm converts your date range to milliseconds, generates a random number within that range, and converts it back to a readable date/time format.

Can I generate dates without weekends?

Yes! Simply check the "Exclude Weekends" option to automatically skip Saturday and Sunday. This is particularly useful for:

Generating business dates or workday schedules
Planning meetings and appointments
Creating project timelines with workdays only
Scheduling office-hour events

What's the maximum number of results?

You can generate up to 100 random dates or times at once. Use the + and - buttons or type directly into the count field to set your desired number. This bulk generation feature is perfect for creating test data, multiple scheduling options, or large datasets.

What date format is used?

Dates are displayed in dd/mm/yyyy format by default (or mm/dd/yyyy for US locale). Times can be shown in either:

24-hour format - Example: 14:30
12-hour format (AM/PM) - Example: 2:30 PM

You can switch between time formats using the format toggle option.

Is my data saved anywhere?

History is saved only in your browser's local storage. No data is sent to any server or stored externally. Your generated dates remain completely private and secure. The history feature allows you to access recent results, but all data stays on your device.
