What cron formats are supported?

The tool supports standard 5-field cron syntax and 6-field Quartz cron syntax. You can also use the auto-detect feature to let the tool identify the format.

Can I see executions for a specific date in the future?

Yes, you can set a custom Start Date to calculate occurrences from that exact moment instead of the current time.

How many future runs can I preview?

You can generate and visualize up to 20 future occurrences at a time.

Does this tool handle time zones?

Yes, you can include a time zone offset in the Start Date input (e.g., +08:00 or Z) to calculate local execution times.

What is the difference between Standard and Quartz cron?

Standard cron uses 5 fields (minute, hour, day, month, weekday), while Quartz adds a seconds field and supports advanced characters like '?' and 'L'.
