FAQ

What is the standard field order in a 5-part cron expression?

From left to right: Minute (0-59), Hour (0-23), Day of Month (1-31), Month (1-12), and Day of Week (0-7, where both 0 and 7 mean Sunday).

What do common symbols like *, /, and - signify?

* stands for every time unit, / defines stepping intervals (e.g. */15 for every 15 minutes), and - specifies ranges (e.g. 1-5 for weekdays).

Is any scheduled job configuration transmitted to remote servers?

No. The generator runs completely within client-side JavaScript. No cron expressions or job parameters leave your computer.
