What this tool does

It reads a standard 5-field cron expression — minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week — describes what it means in plain English, breaks down each field, and computes the next five times it will fire based on your device's clock.

Syntax it understands

* — every value · */5 — every 5th value
1-5 — a range · 1,15,30 — a list
Month names (jan–dec) and weekday names (sun–sat)
Both 0 and 7 mean Sunday

When both day-of-month and day-of-week are restricted, cron fires when either matches — the tool follows that same rule.
