find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -newermt '2026-04-01' ! -newermt '2026-05-10' -printf '%f\n'

will lists files in the current directory whose mtime is between April 1
and May 10 (start date excluded, end date included).

It's true older systems may not have the -newermt flag. Seems to work,
but not fully tested.
