zarcotime is a tiny, lightweight utility for Node.js and CLI that formats timestamps into human-readable relative times. Instead of seeing raw milliseconds or full ISO strings, you can quickly understand times like:
just now1 minute agoin 2 daysyesterday/tomorrow
It’s ideal for logging, notifications, CLI tools, dashboards, or anywhere you want a quick human-friendly timestamp.
- Convert timestamps (milliseconds or seconds),
Dateobjects, or ISO strings. - Automatically formats past and future times.
- Supports “auto” numeric mode: returns
yesterdayortomorrowfor ±1 day. - Lightweight and dependency-free.
- Works in Node.js and as a command-line utility.
