Timepiece is a library from Naoto Kaneko that makes working with NSDate objects a bit more intuitive.

let now = NSDate()
let theForceAwakens = now + 218.days + 2.hours + 34.minutes

It also aids in quickly parsing dates from or rendering dates to a String:

let judgementDay = "1997-08-29".dateFromFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
1.day.later.stringFromFormat("EEEE") // "Thursday"

Comparisons are simplified as well:

if (birthday > 40.years.ago) {
  midLifeCrisis()
}
