About this tool

Cron uses five fields: minute, hour, day of month, month, and day of week. When both day-of-month and day-of-week are restricted, most implementations (including crontab) fire if either matches.

Next-run times are computed in your browser — no server round trip. Cloudflare cron triggers and GitHub Actions use similar but not identical dialects; always check your platform's docs.
