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.
