Frequently Asked Questions
What do the five fields mean?
Minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week: 0 2 * * * runs 2am daily. Both day fields set means OR in most implementations — the classic scheduling surprise.
Why didn't my job run Sunday?
Day-of-week 0 and 7 both mean Sunday in most crons, but some accept only one. The preview lists actual next runs — empty means the expression never fires.
Special strings supported?
@daily, @hourly, @reboot where the implementation allows — the validator flags unsupported shorthands per target.
Do cron expressions upload anywhere?
No — parsing runs locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
