About the Cron Next-Run Visualizer

A cron expression is compact but hard to read. The quickest way to check it is to see the actual times it will fire.

This tool takes a five-field cron expression and lists the next five run times as readable dates in your local time zone.

It supports ranges, lists and step values, with handy presets to start from.

Frequently asked questions

What are the five fields?
Minute, hour, day of month, month and day of week. An asterisk means every value for that field.
How are day of month and day of week combined?
If both are restricted, cron fires when either matches. If one is an asterisk, only the other is applied, matching standard cron behaviour.
Which time zone is used?
Your browser's local time zone, so the times match what you would expect on your own machine.
