## Description

CronTab helps you write cron schedules without second-guessing the syntax. Build an expression visually, paste one in for a plain-English explanation, and preview exactly when it will run before you deploy it.<br><br>Visual builder<br>Choose every, specific values, ranges or steps for each field (minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week) and watch the expression and its description update as you go. Shortcuts such as @daily and @hourly are supported.<br><br>Explain a whole crontab<br>Paste a single expression or an entire crontab file. Each line is explained in plain English, comments and variables are skipped, and mistakes are pointed out so you can fix them.<br><br>Next-run preview<br>See the next run times for your schedule. Pick a time zone and the preview accounts for daylight-saving changes. Day-of-month and day-of-week are combined the way real cron does it.<br><br>Export to other schedulers<br>Turn a cron expression into a systemd timer, a Kubernetes CronJob or a GitHub Actions schedule, ready to copy.<br><br>Saved expressions<br>Save the schedules you use often with your own names and copy them in one tap.<br><br>Home screen widget<br>See when your saved schedule runs next without opening the app.<br><br>Cheat sheet<br>A built-in reference of cron syntax, special characters and common patterns. Tap any pattern to copy it.<br><br>Material 3 design in light and dark. Handy for backup scripts, CI/CD jobs, log rotation, monitoring checks and any crontab on Linux or macOS.<br><br>Works offline. No account required. Free and ad-supported. Optional one-time purchase to remove ads.
