About this tool
Type a cron expression to read it in plain English and see when it next runs, in any time zone. Choose the dialect it’s written for: Unix cron, cron with seconds, Quartz or AWS EventBridge, since each counts fields and weekdays differently.
When both day of month and day of week are set, standard cron runs on days matching either one; the page says so rather than implying both must match. Runs that a daylight-saving change moved are marked.
This is a preview: nothing is scheduled and nothing runs. Expressions using W, the weekday nearest a date, can’t be previewed yet and say so.
