Ever stare at a cron expression and wonder what it means? Me too.
I built a tool that translates cron to plain English.
How it works
Paste any 5-field cron expression:
*/5 * * * * → Every 5 minutes
0 9 * * 1-5 → At minute 0, past hour 9 AM, on Monday through Friday
0 0 1 * * → At midnight on day 1 of the month
30 4 * * 0 → At minute 30, past hour 4 AM, on Sunday
Also shows:
- Each field broken out (minute, hour, day, month, weekday)
- Syntax reference table
- 8 clickable common expressions
