Tool

Cron Expression Tool

For NestJS, node-cron, and GitHub Actions.

Most cron tools are built for Unix and quietly ignore the fact that NestJS uses a 6-field format with seconds. This one doesn't. Switch frameworks and the expression converts automatically. Next runs show in your local timezone so you're not doing the UTC math in your head.
