Build and parse cron expressions with interactive field selectors, common presets, and next scheduled run times.
A cron expression is a string of five (or six) fields that defines a schedule for running tasks automatically. The fields represent minute, hour, day of month, month, and day of week. For example, "0 9 * * 1" means "every Monday at 9:00 AM".
Use the cron expression "*/5 * * * *". The */5 in the minute field means "every 5 minutes". You can use this tool's preset selector to quickly generate this and other common schedules.
Paste your cron expression into this tool and it will show you a human-readable description of the schedule along with the next several run times. This lets you verify the expression matches your intended schedule before deploying.
