Cron Expression Generator

Build & explain cron schedules in plain English.

Next 5 run times (local time)

This free cron expression generator helps you build and understand cron schedules — the five-field syntax used by crontab, CI pipelines and schedulers. Start from a preset or edit each field (minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week), and the tool explains the schedule in plain English and previews the next five run times in your local time so you can be sure it fires when you expect. Steps like */5, ranges like9-17 and lists like 1,15 all work, and each field is validated as you type.
