-## Overview
-This package provides an easy-to-use API for working with periods and intervals, along with precise handling of date and time logic. Inspired by the [spatie/period](https://github.com/spatie/period) package in PHP, this package provides support for both TypeScript and JavaScript environments, offering advanced time manipulation. It offers a user-friendly API for working with periods and intervals, providing precise date and time logic handling. Key features include:
-- Flexible period creation and manipulation with customizable precision (minute to year)
-- Interval generation for recurring events (e.g., "every 3 days")
-- Comprehensive period comparisons (overlaps, contains, adjacent)
-- Precise start/end date handling with various time units
-- Advanced operations like symmetric differences and unions between periods
-- Adjacent period detection for seamless time range management
-- Extensive utility functions for common date operations and formatting
-
-Whether you're building scheduling systems, financial applications, or any project requiring sophisticated time calculations, Chronos simplifies complex time-based operations in both TypeScript and JavaScript environments.
-
+## 🚀 Quick Start
 
-## Usage
-### Creating and Manipulating Periods
 ```typescript
-import { Period, Precision, Interval } from 'chronos-ts';
-
-// Create a period for the year 2023
-const year2023 = new Period('2023-01-01', '2023-12-31', Precision.DAY);
-
-// Check if a date is within the period
-const isInPeriod = year2023.contains('2023-06-15'); // true
-
-// Create a period for Q2 2023
-const q2_2023 = new Period('2023-04-01', '2023-06-30', Precision.DAY);
+import { Chronos, ChronosInterval, ChronosPeriod } from 'chronos-ts';
+
+// Create dates
+const now = Chronos.now();
+const birthday = Chronos.create(1990, 6, 15);
+const parsed = Chronos.parse('2024-03-15T10:30:00');
+
+// Manipulate dates
+const nextWeek = now.addWeeks(1);
+const lastMonth = now.subtractMonths(1);
+const startOfDay = now.startOf('day');
+
+// Format dates
+console.log(now.format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss')); // "2024-03-15 14:30:45"
+console.log(now.diffForHumans(birthday));        // "33 years ago"
+
+// Work with intervals
+const interval = ChronosInterval.create({ hours: 2, minutes: 30 });
+console.log(interval.forHumans()); // "2 hours 30 minutes"
+
+// Iterate over periods
+const thisMonth = ChronosPeriod.thisMonth();
+for (const day of thisMonth) {
+  console.log(day.format('YYYY-MM-DD'));
+}
+```
 
-// Check if periods overlap
-const periodsOverlap = year2023.overlapsWith(q2_2023); // true
+## 📖 API Reference
 
-// Get the overlapping period
-const overlap = year2023.overlap(q2_2023);
-console.log(overlap?.getStartDate(), overlap?.getEndDate()); // 2023-04-01, 2023-06-30
+For detailed documentation on all classes and methods, please refer to the [API Reference](API_REFERENCE.md).
 
-// Subtract a period
-const remainingPeriods = year2023.subtract(q2_2023);
-console.log(remainingPeriods.length); // 2
-console.log(remainingPeriods[0].getStartDate(), remainingPeriods[0].getEndDate()); // 2023-01-01, 2023-04-01
-console.log(remainingPeriods[1].getStartDate(), remainingPeriods[1].getEndDate()); // 2023-06-30, 2023-12-31
+### Core Classes
 
-// Create a period with an interval
-const weeklyPeriod = new Period('2023-01-01', '2023-12-31', Precision.WEEK, Interval.weeks(1));
+- **[Chronos](API_REFERENCE.md#chronos)**: The main class for date/time manipulation.
+- **[ChronosInterval](API_REFERENCE.md#chronosinterval)**: Represents a duration of time.
+- **[ChronosPeriod](API_REFERENCE.md#chronosperiod)**: Represents a date range or schedule.
+- **[ChronosPeriodCollection](API_REFERENCE.md#chronosperiodcollection)**: Manages collections of periods.
+- **[ChronosTimezone](API_REFERENCE.md#chronostimezone)**: Timezone utilities.
 
-// Get dates in the interval
-const weeklyDates = weeklyPeriod.getDatesInInterval();
-console.log(weeklyDates?.length); // 53 (number of weeks in 2023)
+---
 
-// Renew a period - FIXED: Use getter methods
-const nextYear = year2023.renew();
-console.log(nextYear.getStartDate(), nextYear.getEndDate()); // 2024-01-01, 2024-12-31
+## 🌍 Localization
 
-// Use fluent API
-const customPeriod = new Period('2023-01-01', '2023-12-31')
-  .setPrecision(Precision.MONTH)
-  .setInterval(Interval.months(3));
+Chronos-ts includes built-in support for English and Spanish, with an extensible locale system.
 
-console.log(customPeriod.getDatesInInterval()?.length); // 5 (Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct, Jan)
+```typescript
+import { Chronos, registerLocale, getLocale } from 'chronos-ts';
+
+// Use built-in locale
+const date = Chronos.now().locale('es');
+date.format('dddd, D [de] MMMM [de] YYYY');
+// "viernes, 15 de marzo de 2024"
+
+// Human-readable in Spanish
+date.diffForHumans(Chronos.yesterday());
+// "hace 1 día"
+
+// Register custom locale
+registerLocale({
+  code: 'de',

-### Working with Intervals
-``` typescript
-import { Interval } from 'chronos-ts';
-
-const twoHours = Interval.hours(2);
-console.log(twoHours.getMinutesInterval()); // 120
+---
 
-const threeWeeks = Interval.weeks(3);
-console.log(threeWeeks.getMinutesInterval()); // 30240 (3 * 7 * 24 * 60)
+## 🔧 Configuration
 
-const customInterval = new Interval(30, 2, 1, 0, 1); // 30 minutes, 2 hours, 1 day, 0 weeks, 1 month
-console.log(customInterval.getMinutesInterval()); // 44310 (30 + 120 + 1440 + 43200)
-```

-import { Period, Interval, Precision } from 'chronos-ts';
-
-// Create an event
-const conference = new Period('2023-09-15 09:00', '2023-09-17 18:00', Precision.HOUR);
-
-// Check if a specific time is during the conference
-const isDuringConference = conference.contains('2023-09-16 14:30'); // true
-
-// Create a recurring weekly meeting
-const weeklyMeeting = new Period('2023-01-01 10:00', '2023-12-31 11:00', Precision.HOUR, Interval.weeks(1));
-
-// Get all meeting dates
-const meetingDates = weeklyMeeting.getDatesInInterval();

+// Check if a session conflicts
+const session = Chronos.create(2024, 6, 16, 14, 0);
+const isDuringConference = session.isBetween(conference.start, conference.end);
+
+// Create weekly recurring meeting
+const meetings = ChronosPeriod
+  .create(
+    Chronos.now(),

-  new Period('2023-09-18', '2023-09-20', Precision.DAY),
-];
+### Subscription Management
 
-const overlappingLeaves = existingLeaves.filter(leave => leaveRequest.overlapsWith(leave));
-console.log(`There are ${overlappingLeaves.length} overlapping leave requests.`);
-
-// Calculate remaining leave balance
-const totalLeaveDays = 20;
-const usedLeaveDays = existingLeaves.reduce((total, leave) => total + leave.length(), 0);
-const remainingLeaveDays = totalLeaveDays - usedLeaveDays;
-console.log(`Remaining leave days: ${remainingLeaveDays}`);
+```typescript
+import { Chronos, ChronosInterval } from 'chronos-ts';
 
-// Renew leave balance for the next year
-const nextYearLeaveBalance = remainingLeaveDays > 0 ? new Period('2024-01-01', '2024-12-31') : null;

-  const overlaps: [Period, Period][] = [];
-  for (let i = 0; i < tasks.length; i++) {
-    for (let j = i + 1; j < tasks.length; j++) {
-      if (tasks[i].overlapsWith(tasks[j])) {
-        overlaps.push([tasks[i], tasks[j]]);
-      }
-    }
+  isActive(): boolean {
+    return Chronos.now().isBefore(this.nextBillingDate);
   }
-  return overlaps;
-};
 
-const overlappingTasks = findOverlappingTasks(tasks);
-console.log(`There are ${overlappingTasks.length} overlapping tasks in the project.`);
+  daysUntilRenewal(): number {
+    return this.nextBillingDate.diffInDays(Chronos.now());
+  }
+}
 
-// Calculate project progress
-const calculateProgress = (currentDate: Date): number => {
-  const daysPassed = new Period(projectTimeline.getStartDate(), currentDate, Precision.DAY).getDaysInInterval();
-  const totalDays = projectTimeline.getDaysInInterval();
-  return (daysPassed / totalDays) * 100;
-};
+const monthly = new Subscription(
+  Chronos.now(),
+  ChronosInterval.months(1)
+);
 
-const currentProgress = calculateProgress(new Date('2023-06-15'));
-console.log(`Project progress: ${currentProgress.toFixed(2)}%`);

-#### **6. Employee Shift Management**
+---
 
-Use the `Period` and `Interval` classes to manage employee shifts and calculate overtime.
+## 🧪 Testing
 
 ```typescript
-import { Period, Interval, Precision, addToDate } from 'chronos-ts';
+import { Chronos } from 'chronos-ts';
+
+describe('MyFeature', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    // Freeze time for consistent tests
+    Chronos.setTestNow(Chronos.create(2024, 1, 15, 12, 0, 0));
+  });
+
+  afterEach(() => {
+    // Reset to real time
+    Chronos.setTestNow(null);
+  });
+
+  it('should calculate correct deadline', () => {
+    const deadline = Chronos.now().addDays(30);
+    expect(deadline.format('YYYY-MM-DD')).toBe('2024-02-14');
+  });
+});
+```
 
-class Shift extends Period {
-  constructor(public employee: string, start: Date, end: Date) {

-#### **7. Travel Itinerary Planning**
-Use the `Period` class to manage travel itineraries and check for scheduling conflicts.
-``` typescript
-import { Period, Precision, addToDate } from 'chronos-ts';

-class TravelEvent extends Period {
-  constructor(public description: string, start: Date, end: Date) {
-    super(start, end, Precision.MINUTE);
-  }
-}
