Frequently Asked Questions
What is cron expression syntax?
A standard cron expression has 5 fields: minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day of month (1-31), month (1-12), and day of week (0-7). Asterisks mean 'any value'.
Does the tool handle timezones?
Cron itself runs in the server's local timezone. This builder generates the expression, but you need to set your server's timezone separately.
Is any data sent to a server?
No. The entire builder runs in your browser with no network requests.
How can I test if my expression is correct?
Use the companion Cron Parser tool on this site to paste your expression and see the next scheduled run times.
