`pdd` (Python3 Date Diff) is a tiny command line utility to calculate date and time difference. It can also be used as a timer. If no program arguments are specified it shows the current date, time and timezone.

`pdd` has been written with only one goal - simplicity. Users shouldn't have to memorize anything.

- Time is in 24-hr format.
- The absolute difference is shown. Argument order is ignored.
- The end date is excluded in date difference calculations.
- Hour, minute or second can be omitted. Partial inputs are recognized as `mm:ss` or `ss`.
- The keybind to stop timers is <kbd>Ctrl-C</kbd>.
