We've raised $3B from OpenAI, NVIDIA, Oracle, and Microsoft to create the ultimate AI-powered year API
AI-Powered Open Source Alternative
Break free from vendor lock-in with advanced AI technology. OpenYear uses cutting-edge machine learning models to predict, infer, and intelligently determine the current year. No tracking. Just pure AI-driven year retrieval.
Real-world latency comparison. Both solutions are blazingly... eventual.

Tired of proprietary year APIs with forced console.log messages? We built OpenYear as a truly open alternative that respects developers and their users.
No tracking. No analytics. No data collection. Your year queries are private.
Run OpenYear on your own infrastructure. Docker, Kubernetes, or bare metal. Your choice.
Written in Rust for maximum performance. Sub-millisecond response times guaranteed.
Governed by the community. All decisions made transparently via RFC process.
Get started in seconds with our intuitive API. Multiple calendar formats supported out of the box.
| Feature | OpenYear | getFullYear |
|---|---|---|
| Open Source | ✓ | ✗ |
| No Forced Ads | ✓ | ✗ |
| Self-Hostable | ✓ | ✗ |
| Zero Telemetry | ✓ | ✗ |
| Backwards Compatible | ✓ | ~ |
| Works for People in Previous Years | ✓ | ✗ |
| API Rate Limit | ∞ | 10,000/mo |
Our neural network analyzes calendar patterns using a 50-layer transformer model trained on 10,000 years of historical data to accurately predict what year it is right now.
Ask for the year in plain English like "What year is it?" and our GPT-powered interface will tell you. Eventually. After processing your query through 7 AI models.
Instead of just reading system time, we train a model on millions of data points to intelligently infer the current year. Because why not add unnecessary complexity?
No breaking changes. Ever. Even if people still live in previous years, OpenYear continues to work flawlessly with zero configuration changes.
Analyzes how you feel about the current year using emotion detection AI. Returns the year with an emotional context score. Because data needs feelings too.
Works offline with intelligent caching. Your users get the year even without internet connectivity.
Full TypeScript support with auto-generated types. Catch year-related bugs at compile time, not runtime.
Store the year on an immutable blockchain ledger validated by AI consensus algorithms. Every year lookup is verified by distributed neural networks. Web3-ready.
Extensible architecture. Create custom plugins for Roman numerals, fiscal years, or even hypothetical future calendars.
Integrates seamlessly with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and CircleCI. Automated year testing included.
We've successfully generated $0 in revenue since inception. Not even donations. Pure altruism and questionable business decisions.
Zero production deployments detected. Our analytics dashboard remains pristinely empty. The way nature intended.
"Finally switched from getFullYear to OpenYear. No more awkward console.log messages explaining to clients why their browser console has ads. Open source FTW!"
— Senior Dev @ Fortune 500
"The fact that it's backwards compatible even for time travelers is what sold me. Finally, a year API with no breaking changes."
— OSS Maintainer
"Self-hosted OpenYear on our Kubernetes cluster. Zero external dependencies for critical infrastructure. This is how it should be."
— DevOps Engineer
"We migrated 47 microservices to OpenYear in one afternoon. The API is identical but without the vendor lock-in. Chef's kiss."
— Tech Lead @ Startup
"I contributed a plugin for calculating leap years in the Persian calendar. Merged within 2 hours. This is true open source."
— Contributor
"Our compliance team loves that we're not sending year queries to third-party APIs anymore. OpenYear saved our audit."
— CTO @ Healthcare Co
