Decode a cron expression online

Cron expressions are terse but easy to get wrong: five fields, asterisks, slashes, commas — and a task fires at the wrong time. Enter an expression and the decoder instantly translates it into human language: "*/5 * * * *" becomes "every 5 minutes", and "0 9 * * 1" — "every Monday at 09:00". Field format: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week.

This saves you from classic mistakes: mixing up field order, using 0 instead of 7 for Sunday, running a heavy backup every minute instead of daily. Check every new cron before adding it to the server — one minute of checking saves hours of cleanup.

FAQ

What is cron?
Cron is a task scheduler on Linux servers. A cron expression of five fields defines the schedule: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week.
How to read a cron expression?
An asterisk (*) means "any value". For example, */5 * * * * — every 5 minutes, 0 9 * * 1 — every Monday at 9:00.
Why check cron?
To avoid schedule mistakes: a wrong expression can run tasks too often (load) or at the wrong time. The decoder shows a clear description.
Where is cron used?
For automated tasks: backups, mailings, cache clearing, data sync. BB STUDIO configures cron tasks for client sites.
