Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes — it is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no account-based quota. Your browser, device memory and the bench's stated file limits still determine how much it can process at once.
Is my expression private?
Nothing is uploaded. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so your data is processed on your own device and never sent to a server.
What kind of cron expression can I explain?
Enter a standard five-field cron expression, such as 0 9 * * 1, to receive a plain-English schedule description.
