What it does

Build a cron schedule visually: minute, hour, day-of-month, month, day-of-week — each field gets a simple selector for every, specific, range, or step values. The tool previews the next five run times and the plain-English description, so you know exactly what you're scheduling.

To decode an existing cron use cron expression explainer. Convert timestamps with unix timestamp converter. Learn the syntax in how to write a cron expression.

How to use it

  1. Pick values for each of the 5 cron fields.
  2. Review the plain-English description above the expression.
  3. Scan the next 5 run times to sanity-check.
  4. Copy the resulting cron string into crontab, GitHub Actions, or your scheduler.
