About this tool
Parses standard 5-field crontab expressions (minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week). Shows a plain-English description of the schedule plus the next 5 firing times in UTC. Supports every operator: stars, ranges (1-5), lists (1,3,5), and step values (star-slash-2 for every 2nd unit). Times are shown in UTC — if your job runs in a different timezone, adjust accordingly.
