Frequently Asked Questions
What format does this cron builder use?
Standard POSIX 5-field format: `minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week`.
How can I test my expression?
You can cross-reference with our Cron Parser tool or check the real-time human readable description in the output.
Is my data uploaded when I use the Cron Expression Builder?
No. All processing runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server unless you explicitly create a share link.
Does this tool work offline?
Yes. After the first visit, the PWA service worker can serve the page and run the formatter without a network connection.
What is the maximum input size?
Most tools accept up to about 5MB in the editor. Very large inputs are processed preferentially in a Web Worker and may download instead of filling the output pane.
