How It WorksCron
Overview
Type or pick a standard 5-field cron expression to get a real-time plain-English description, and see the next 8 actual run times computed with cron's correct day/weekday "or" logic — so you can confirm what the expression really does instead of guessing from the description alone. 9 common presets are one click away. Everything runs locally in your browser; your data never leaves your device.
