I often have to generate a sequence of calendar dates so I created this simple online utility that does it for me. It lets you generate however many calendar dates you need starting from any date with any time interval between the dates. It works in the browser and is powered by alien technology from the future.

List of Dates in 2021
In this example, we generate a list of 13 calendar dates starting from the beginning of the year 2021 (2021-01-01 00:00:00). We increase each date by 1 month and 6 hours and at the 13th iteration reach the year 2022. We use padding for the date and time components, so that months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds are always two digits wide. We print all dates to the screen in the format "YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss" and separate them by a newline character.

Returning to 20th Century
In this example, we're counting down to the start of the 20th century. We begin the countdown at the last second of the 20th century (2000/12/31 23:59:59) and go back in time by 5 years, 1 month, 1 day, 1 hour, 1 minute, and 1 second. We output a series of 20 calendar days, separate them by a semicolon, and format them as "MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss" without padding.
12/31/2000 23:59:59; 12/1/1995 22:58:58; 11/1/1990 21:57:57; 10/1/1985 20:56:56; 9/1/1980 19:55:55; 8/1/1975 18:54:54; 7/1/1970 17:53:53; 6/1/1965 16:52:52; 5/1/1960 15:51:51; 4/1/1955 14:50:50; 3/1/1950 13:49:49; 2/1/1945 12:48:48; 1/1/1940 11:47:47; 12/1/1934 10:46:46; 11/1/1929 9:45:45; 10/1/1924 8:44:44; 9/1/1919 7:43:43; 8/1/1914 6:42:42; 7/1/1909 5:41:41; 6/1/1904 4:40:40

Exploring Future
In this example, we generate a sequence of nine calendar days in the far future. Even if aliens come to Earth, we still hope that people use the 12-hour time format, so we activate it in the options. Each day is incremented by 50 years, 10 days, and 59 minutes and we quickly go from the year 5600 to the year 6000. In addition to using am/pm indicators in the time part, we use short three-letter month names and short days of the week in the date part.

Friday the 13th
In this example, we decided to find all Fridays the 13ths in 2026. For this, we entered the start date of 2026/1/13 and the calendar interval of 1 month. We don't need the clock time part in the output, so we use a custom date format "dddd, DD MMMM YYYY", where dddd is the full day of week name, DD is the date, MMMM is the full month name, YYYY is the year. As a result of our research, we see that in 2026, Friday the 13th happens 3 times.

Generate Only Clock Time
This example skips the calendar part and generates only the clock part of the day in 40-second increments. The start date is set to "0 00:00:00" (year zero, midnight) and the custom output datetime format is set to "hhhmmmsss". This format means print hours followed by the letter h, print minutes followed by the letter m, and print seconds followed by the letter s. Notice that the format string doesn't contain date-related components (years, months, days) so date isn't used in the output and only time is printed to the screen. Hours, minutes, and seconds are padded with zeros and separated by the pipe character. The time is incremented 100 times.

Weekdays
This example prints a list of 7 days from January 3000. It increases each date by 1 day, 3 hours, 3 minutes, and 3 seconds for one week. It outputs dates in the "dddd" format that prints names of all weekdays. For time, it uses the "at hh:mm:ss" format that displays the word "at" followed by hours, minutes, and seconds, and it's displayed in 12-hour digital clock format with two digits per time value and am and pm indictors.

How Does This Calendar Date Generator Work?

This linear calendar date series generator works entirely in your browser and is written in JavaScript. The sequence of calendar dates starts from the startDate and increases by the interval amount specified in the options. It operates with universal (UTC) dates and times and uses JavaScript language's built Date and Date.UTC objects. The startDate option may contain either date and time parts (in YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss format) or just the date part (in YYYY-MM-DD format). The program uses a smart parsing algorithm to extract all the date and time components from the startDate value. For the date part, it finds the year, month, and day components, and for the time part, it finds hours, minutes, and seconds components. If the time part has an am/pm indicator, then it converts the hours component to a 24-hour clock. To start generating a list of dates, it creates the variable firstDate by composing Date and Date.UTC objects: new Date(Date.UTC(y, mo, d, h, mi, s)), where y is year, mo is month, d is day, h is hour, mi is minute, s is second. This makes sure that the firstDate object uses the UTC timezone. Then, in a similar way, it parses the interval option and sets up the dateInterval object. This object contains the parsed interval in years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. If you are generating a descending list of calendar dates, all components of the dateInterval object are turned into negative numbers via multiplying them by -1. The date generator runs a for loop count times (number of dates in the output, specified in options) and each next date is obtained by calling the getNextDate() function. This function creates a variable nextDate = new Date(prevDate.getTime()) and then updates individual date and time components in it to the next value by calling nextDate.setUTCX(prevDate.getUTCX() + dateInterval['X']), where X is year, month, day, hour, minute, and second. After replacing all the nextDate components, the function saves the result in another variable called newDate and replaces the prevDate object with the nextDate object. Next, the date in newDate is formatted according to the desired output format. The formatting is done by repeatedly calling the format.replace(X, newDate.getUTCX()) function with X being year, month, day, hour, minute, and second. The formatted string is then pushed onto allStrDates stack and when the for loop finishes, the stack elements are joined into a long string via the allStrDates.join(separator) function. Finally, the string is sent to the output area and is printed on your screen.
