At WWDC 2013, in the Keynote "Solutions to Common Date and Time Challenges" , it was noted by Chris Kane to use noon as a timestamp, the reason being that using midnight can be problematic due to time changes between seasons. Doing this every time can get tedious, especially when writing apps that use timestamps frequently, so I created my own date wrappers.
There are a few methods available to create a date object set to noon.
+(NSDate *)kfr_noonToday
+(NSDate *)kfr_noonWithDaysOffset:(NSInteger)daysOffset
+(NSDate *)kfr_noonForDate:(NSDate *)date
There are also some really nice and simple additions to help with date handling.
+(BOOL)kfr_isToday:(NSDate *)date
+(BOOL)kfr_wasYesterday:(NSDate *)date
+(BOOL)kfr_isTomorrow:(NSDate *)date
And additional methods that you may find useful.
-(NSDate *)kfr_dateWithDaysOffset:
-(NSInteger)daysOffset
+(NSDate *)kfr_startOfDayForDate:(NSDate *)date
+(NSDate *)kfr_endOfDayForDate:(NSDate *)date
+(NSTimeInterval)kfr_dayLengthInterval
