Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tool show? +

Enter any cron expression (5 fields: minute hour day month weekday) and the tool shows: a human-readable description, the next 10 scheduled run times with exact dates, and a monthly calendar view with heatmap highlighting on days the job would run.

What cron expression formats are supported? +

Standard 5-field cron expressions: * (any), */n (every n), ranges (1-5), lists (1,3,5), and combinations. Special strings like @hourly, @daily, @weekly, @monthly, @yearly are also supported.

How is the heatmap useful? +

The calendar heatmap shows job density visually — darker cells mean more runs that day. For example, */15 * * * * (every 15 min) shows every day darkly shaded, while 0 9 * * 1 (every Monday 9am) shows only Mondays highlighted.

What timezone are the run times shown in? +

Run times are calculated in your local browser timezone. The timezone is shown alongside the run time list so you know which timezone is being used.

What is the difference between this and the Cron Generator? +

The Cron Generator helps you build a cron expression using a visual form. This Cron Visualizer takes an existing expression and shows you exactly when it will run — complementary tools for different parts of the workflow.
