How to build a cron expression
- Pick a preset (every hour, daily, weekly) or build a custom expression.
- Adjust the minute, hour, day and month fields.
- Read the plain-English description to verify the schedule.
- Copy the cron string into your crontab, GitHub Actions or scheduler.
Frequently asked questions
Does this support 5-field or 6-field cron?+
Both. Use 5 fields for classic Unix cron (minute hour day month weekday) or 6 for Quartz-style with seconds.
What does the asterisk mean?+
An asterisk (*) means 'every value in this field'. So 0 * * * * runs at minute 0 of every hour, every day.
Does the schedule respect timezones?+
Cron itself has no timezone — it runs in the server's local time. Configure the timezone in your scheduler (GitHub Actions, AWS, Kubernetes) explicitly.
