Next 5 Runs
Cron Tips
- A standard cron expression has five fields: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week — in that order.
- */5 in the minute field means every 5 minutes; */10 in the hour field means every 10 hours.
- In classic Vixie cron, if both day of month and day of week are restricted (not *), the job runs when EITHER matches, not both.
- Nicknames like @daily, @hourly, and @weekly are shorthand: @daily is equivalent to 0 0 * * *.

高效專業地處理 Cron Formatter 資料所需的一切功能
Instant Validation
Malformed expressions are rejected immediately with the exact field that failed, not a cryptic crontab error at 2 AM.
Field-by-Field Breakdown
Each of the five (or six) fields is translated into plain language so the whole schedule reads like a sentence.
Next 5 Run Times
See exactly when the job will fire next, in your local timezone, before you commit the crontab line.
Full Cron Syntax
Steps, ranges, lists, names (MON, JAN), L, #, and @daily nicknames are all understood.
Instant Evaluation
The scheduling engine is self-hosted and runs locally, so results appear in milliseconds even offline.
Preset Library
One-click presets for the most common schedules: every 5 minutes, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly.

專業的 Cron Formatter 格式化和驗證工具
全球數百萬開發者信賴的可靠 Cron Formatter 處理工具
專家打造
Cron expressions are notoriously easy to get wrong: five terse fields where a single wrong digit silently changes a schedule. Our cron formatter parses the expression field by field, translates each part into plain language, and computes the next five execution times so you can verify the schedule before it ships to production.
主要技術特性：
- • Full cron syntax support: *, steps (*/n), ranges (1-5), and lists (1,15)
- • Accepts @daily, @hourly, @weekly, @monthly, and @yearly nicknames
- • Understands day and month names such as MON and JAN
- • Accurate next 5 run times computed for your local timezone
- • Powered by the self-hosted croner engine - no CDN or server calls
值得信賴和安全
Built for developers and DevOps engineers who maintain crontabs, Kubernetes CronJobs, Quartz configs, and scheduled cloud functions. Everything is evaluated locally in your browser, so internal scheduling patterns stay private.
安全與隱私：
- • 100% client-side evaluation - expressions never leave your browser
- • No tracking, cookies or expression logging
- • HTTPS encryption for secure connections
- • Self-hosted engine with zero third-party requests
- • GDPR and CCPA compliant approach

Cron Formatter 格式化 — 台灣開發者工作流程
在台灣，Cron Formatter 檔案驅動著台北內湖科學園區的 fintech API、新竹科學園區的半導體工具鏈、台北與高雄的軟體代理商資料管線，以及台大、清大、交大的研究與課堂專案。台灣工程團隊通常遵循與亞太及全球接軌的 Cron Formatter 慣例：JS 技術棧用 2 格縮排、時間戳記採 Asia/Taipei、金額以新台幣 (TWD/NT$) 表示、商務資料日期常見民國年或 dd/mm/yyyy 格式。我們的格式化工具完全依照台灣開發者的實際工作方式設計 —— 免註冊、免上傳、資料永遠不離開您的瀏覽器，符合《個人資料保護法》對機敏資料的處理要求。無論您是在信義區整理 API 回應、在新竹驗證設定檔，或在台中準備論文資料，一切都在客戶端執行、毫秒內完成，在各地網路品質下都能順暢運作。
常見問題解答
關於 Cron Formatter 格式化的常見問題解答
是的。所有 Cron Formatter 處理都在您的瀏覽器本地完成，不會上傳到任何伺服器。這種不上傳的設計相當符合台灣《個人資料保護法》對個人資料處理的要求。
格式化工具會保留您原始的時間戳記不變，並能完美搭配民國年日期、dd/mm/yyyy 格式以及 Asia/Taipei (CST) 時區使用。日期數值本身不會被修改。
當然可以。免註冊、免登入、免 SSO。只要開啟網頁就能立即格式化您的 Cron Formatter，且不會有與您身分綁定的使用遙測資料，非常適合台灣的企業與公部門環境。
Yes, it is completely free with no registration. All parsing and scheduling math happens in your browser.
Yes. Five-field (standard crontab) and six-field (with a leading seconds field, as used by Quartz and Spring) expressions are both supported. Seconds default to 0 when omitted.
Your local browser timezone. Keep in mind that servers usually evaluate cron in their own system timezone (often UTC), so verify the timezone your scheduler uses before relying on the times shown here.
No. This is a read-only explainer: it parses expressions and previews run times. It never executes anything or connects to your servers.
Asterisks (*), steps (*/5, 10-50/5), ranges (1-5), lists (1,15,30), day/month names (MON, JAN), L for last day of month, # for nth weekday, and @daily-style nicknames.
