Cron Expression Parser
Parse a cron expression into a plain-English schedule. Your cron expression never leaves your browser.
Supports standard 5-field cron (minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week) plus the common @daily/@hourly/etc. shortcuts. It does not support 6-field "seconds" cron (Quartz/Spring) — that's a different, incompatible syntax, not a variant of this one.
Parsed locally. Your cron expression never leaves your browser.
Common questions
Does the day-of-week field use 0 or 7 for Sunday?
Both — 0 and 7 are accepted as Sunday, matching standard cron convention. So 0-5 and 7 (Sunday through Friday, plus Sunday again as 7) describes the same days as 0-6.
Which shorthand expressions like @daily are supported?
@yearly, @annually, @monthly, @weekly, @daily, @midnight, and @hourly all work. @reboot is not supported, since it has no fixed schedule to describe in plain English.
Does the schedule description account for my time zone or DST?
No — cron expressions are purely symbolic field values with no time zone attached, so the description describes the fields themselves, not a specific moment in any particular time zone. The system actually running the cron job determines which time zone those field values apply in.
