Cron Scheduling Vector Specification & Syntax Reference
Complete POSIX crontab specification interpreter and future timestamp generator running purely client-side.
Supports standard 5-field crontab syntax (Minute, Hour, Day-of-Month, Month, Day-of-Week) and step values (`*/5`), ranges (`1-5`), and lists (`1,15,30`).
Execution projections resolve against the client device's native `Intl.DateTimeFormat` context to eliminate daylight savings time confusion.
No server calls or third-party cron APIs. Scheduled expressions remain private and local to your workstation enclave.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Does `* * * * *` run every second or minute?
In standard 5-part POSIX cron syntax, five asterisks signify execution every minute. Seconds are only supported in non-standard 6-part variants like Quartz.
Q: How does day of week indexing work?
0 and 7 both represent Sunday in standard Unix crontab engines, 1 is Monday, through 6 for Saturday.
