Days Between Dates (ADHD-Friendly)

How many days between two dates? Pick dates, get number. No calendar staring required.

Counting days on a calendar is a focus trap. You start counting, lose your place, start over, get distracted, come back, start over again. This tool kills that loop. Pick your two dates. See the number of days. Done. No counting, no losing track, no starting over. The answer updates instantly when you change dates. Want to see how changing a deadline affects the timeline? Just move the date and watch the number change. Your brain gets the dopamine of immediate feedback instead of the frustration of manual counting.
