    Frequently asked questions.

    What is cron?

    Cron is a job scheduler used by Unix-like systems. A cron expression is five fields: minute, hour, day-of-month, month, and day-of-week.

    Are all cron implementations the same?

    No. This generator uses the standard 5-field syntax. Some systems (Quartz, AWS EventBridge, Kubernetes CronJob) use 6 or 7 fields — those are not the focus of this tool.

    Is my expression stored anywhere?

    No. The expression lives only in your browser.
