Cron Expression Explainer

Paste a standard 5-field cron expression (minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week) to see what it means and when it will run next.

How to read the five fields

Each field accepts a number, * (every value), a list like 1,15, a range like 1-5 or a step like */10. Month and weekday names such as JAN or MON work too, and the shortcuts @daily, @hourly, @weekly, @monthly and @yearly are supported.
