// HOW IT WORKS
A cron expression schedules recurring jobs. The tool explains each field in plain language and shows the upcoming run times.
Example
30 8 * * 1-5 → at 08:30, Monday to Friday. (fields: min hour day month weekday)
Notes
- Standard cron has five fields; some schedulers add an optional leading seconds field.
- * means every value, */5 every 5 units, and ranges/lists like 1-5 or 1,15 are allowed.
