About the Cron Expression Parser

Cron is a time-based job scheduling system used on Unix-like operating systems. A cron expression is a string of five fields (minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week) that defines when a scheduled job runs. This parser translates any cron expression into plain English so you can immediately understand its schedule.

Common examples: 0 * * * * runs every hour on the hour, 0 9 * * 1-5 runs at 9am on weekdays, and */15 * * * * runs every 15 minutes. Also shows the next five scheduled run times so you can verify the expression fires when you expect.
