Cron Parser

Explain a cron expression in plain English.

Cron expression (5 fields: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week)

Schedule

—

Next 5 run times (local time)

This free cron parser reads a standard five-field cron expression — minute, hour, day of month, month and day of week — and explains its schedule in plain English. It also computes the next five run times in your local time by scanning forward minute by minute and matching each field, so wildcards, steps like */15, ranges like 9-17 and lists like1,15 all work. Field ranges are validated. Parsing runs entirely in your browser.
