›How to use
  1. Type a 5-field cron in the Cron expression input, or click a preset to start from a common shape.
  2. The 5-field table breaks down each piece live; syntax issues surface inline in red.
  3. Natural-language description summarises the schedule in one sentence (e.g. at 09:00, on Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri).
  4. Below it, a table lists the next N firings (default 8, 1-50 adjustable): Local time, ISO 8601, and delta from now.
Tips
  • Aliases supported: @yearly / @monthly / @weekly / @daily / @hourly — expanded internally to standard form.
  • Names accepted: months jan-dec, weekdays sun-sat (case-insensitive); mon-fri works.
  • When both DoM and DoW are restricted the rule is OR, not AND (POSIX convention). 0 0 1 * 1 fires on the 1st or any Monday.
  • 7 in DoW maps to Sunday (Linux cron behaviour).
  • vs crontab.guru: a great text-only tool. We add live next-firing preview to make it more concrete.

💡 Parsing, description and next-firing computation run entirely in your browser — no network requests. Firings are computed in your local timezone.
