Count Days

Count Days is a lightweight and portable application that facilitates a user-friendly interface to help you find out the difference between any two specified dates. It comes in handy if you want to count remaining time until an important upcoming event, such as birthdays, holidays, meetings, or appointments.

Simple interface and options

It's wrapped in a simple interface made from a normal window with a plain appearance and neatly structured layout, where all options put at your disposal are made visible.
All you have to do is indicate a starting and ending date by consulting a calendar, while keeping in mind that the specified dates are also taken into account for the counter.

Count years, months, weeks and days

It's not mandatory for the second date to be greater than the first, since Count Days makes the calculations regardless. It's capable of showing negative values.
Results are computed instantly and displayed in the window, so you can find out the total days, working days, weeks, months and years. Although the app doesn't implement options for printing, exporting or copying all information, you can select text from each box and copy it using the global keyboard shortcut or by opening the right-click menu.

No installation necessary

The program is packed in a single .exe file that you can save anywhere on the hard disk and just double-click it to run. Another option is to copy it to a pen drive or other removable storage unit to directly launch the tool on any computer with as little effort as possible. It doesn't need DLLs or other components to run, create files on the disk without your permission, or add new entries to the system registry.

Evaluation and conclusion

Although it doesn't have richer options and configuration settings, Count Days delivers a simple and effective solution for calculating the difference between any two dates. CPU and RAM usage was minimal in our tests.
