Usage

Use this workflow to get the difference between two dates in Alfred. This relies exclusively on PHP’s DateInterval method, which is happy to accept a variety of inputs and works pretty well!

Examples:

• datespan tomorrow: countdown in hours and minutes
• datespan 10/10/10: difference in years, months, days, hours, and minutes—along with total business weeks, weeks, days, hours, and minutes
• datespan 3/10 to 5/12: all units above, but the span between zero-hour on each date

You can use any format that strtotime can parse.
