Cron, Without the Guesswork
Cron expressions are the universal scheduling syntax — one line that can run a job every five minutes, every weekday at 9am, or on the first of every month. They are also famously easy to get wrong.
Why the parser matters
- Verify before deploying: Preview the exact next runs before a job goes live.
- Debug "why didn’t it run": Confirm the expression really matches the moment you expected.
- Translate timezones: Server schedules are often UTC; the local/UTC columns show both.
- Learn the syntax: The field explanation and presets teach cron in seconds.
Instant and private
No server round-trips, no stored history of your schedules — parsing happens locally, and your next 10 runs appear the moment you press the button.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Toolza’s cron parser is free forever with no limits.
No. Parsing and computation run locally in your browser.
minute, hour, day of month, month, and day of week. A 6-field expression adds seconds at the front — common in Node and Python schedulers.
Names are accepted for months and weekdays (JAN, MON, etc.). Numeric values work for everything.
Runs are computed from the current moment in your local timezone. If the server runs in UTC, expectations differ — the UTC column in the results shows that.
* means "every value" and / sets a step — */15 means every 15 units. Ranges (1-5), lists (1,3,5), and ? (SQL-style wildcard) are supported too.
