Who Recurring Date Pattern Explainer is for

People who need a small, purpose-built utility instead of a broad platform.
Users working with RRULE, recurrence, dates who want the documented v1.1.0 behavior.
People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.

Intended result

Explain and preview recurring dates with accurate month-end, leap-day, BYDAY, UNTIL, timezone, and preview-limit handling.

This summary is reconciled from the current catalog and repository documentation.

Features in v1.1.0

Capabilities below come from the current project README and release documentation.

[](https://github.com/loganpendragonmultiverse/recurring-date-pattern-explainer/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

Translate common RRULE recurrence patterns into plain language and preview dates. The command uses explicit UTF-8 JSON input and produces reviewable JSON or Markdown output.

Verified examples

Screenshots are shown only when the current README references a local source image. Otherwise, repository example files are linked directly.

Quick start

The shortest documented path into the current release.

python -m pip install .
rrule-explain examples/sample.json
rrule-explain examples/sample.json --format json --output report.json

The example documents the input shape. Version 1.1 correctly preserves month-end intent, clips leap days only when needed, honors interval weeks with BYDAY, and supports ISO or RFC 5545 UNTIL values with explicit truncation evidence. Preview counts are bounded from 1 to 1,000. Existing report files are never overwritten. Source inputs are read-only except where the documented purpose explicitly creates a new output artifact.

Current limitations

These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.

The supported subset covers DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY, and YEARLY with INTERVAL, BYDAY, COUNT, and UNTIL. It preserves supplied timezone-aware datetimes but does not calculate timezone rules, DST shifts, or the complete RFC 5545 grammar.

Privacy and licensing

Review the actual data boundary before using a tool with sensitive inputs.

Privacy and safety

The tool runs locally and does not upload input or include telemetry. Python 3.10 or newer is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
