# Print Milliseconds In Human-Readable Format
|
||
|
||
I ran a command in a program. It doesn't really matter what command or program.
|
||
What does matter is that it took a long time and when it finished, it told me
|
||
how long it took, but in milliseconds.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
835953ms
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Typically, when I see a timing number like this, I open Alfred and do some
|
||
quick math (`N / 1000 / 60 / 60` or something like that).
|
||
|
||
There is an easier way, using the
|
||
[`pretty-ms-cli`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/pretty-ms-cli). This
|
||
purpose-built CLI can be run using something like
|
||
[`npx`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npx). All I do is hand it the number of
|
||
milliseconds and it prints out how long that is in something that I can
|
||
understand.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
❯ npx pretty-ms-cli 835953
|
||
13m 56s
|
||
```
