What is a Cron Expression?

Cron expressions are used to schedule recurring tasks in Unix-based systems, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI), cloud platforms (AWS CloudWatch, Google Cloud Scheduler), and job schedulers. A cron expression consists of five fields: minute, hour, day of month, month, and day of week.

Understanding cron syntax can be tricky. This visual builder helps you create and test cron expressions without memorizing the syntax. Select from presets or build custom expressions, and see exactly when your scheduled job will run.

Unlike other online cron tools, qtoolkit.dev processes everything client-side in your browser. Your schedules never leave your machine, making it safe for planning production job schedules.

Cron Syntax

* * * * * = minute hour day month weekday. Special characters: * (any), , (list), - (range), / (step). Example: */15 9-17 * * 1-5 = every 15 minutes from 9AM to 5PM on weekdays.
