FAQ

Which cron dialect is supported?

Standard five-field expressions (minute hour day month weekday). Some platforms add seconds or years—double-check vendor docs.

Does this hit an API?

No. Parsing uses cron-parser in your browser tab.

Why does my expression fail?

Invalid ranges, impossible day/month combos, or unsupported aliases trigger errors—simplify the field and retry.
