CronExplain

Paste any cron expression; get a plain-English explanation, the next ten scheduled fires in your timezone, and a sanity check for the typo you didn't see.

Dev Tools Web app

What it does

CronExplain takes the dread out of crontab. Type 0 17 * * 5 and immediately read 'Every Friday at 5:00 PM' plus the next ten actual fire times in your timezone. Build cron expressions visually with sliders, save library entries with names and descriptions, and share a public preview URL for code reviews. Supports the full cron syntax plus AWS/Quartz extensions.
