What is this tool?

Builds and explains cron expressions — the schedule syntax used to automate recurring tasks on a server — translating between the cryptic expression and a plain-English description.

How to use it

Type a cron expression to see its plain-English explanation, or start from one of the common presets and adjust it to your schedule.

Double-check the day-of-week field specifically before deploying a schedule — it's the field most commonly mixed up, since some systems count Sunday as 0 and others as 7.
