Cron Parser — Understand and Build Cron Expressions Easily

Cron is the Linux/Unix task scheduler used to automatically run commands and scripts at specific times. This tool helps you read, analyze, and build Cron expressions in plain human language.

│ │ ┌─ day of month (1-31)
│ │ │ ┌─ month (1-12)
│ │ │ │ ┌─ day of week (0-7, Sun=0 or 7)
