Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cron expression?

A cron expression is a string of 5 or 6 fields that defines a schedule for automated tasks. For example, 0 9 * * 1-5 means "at 9:00 AM, Monday through Friday." CronPad helps you read and write these expressions.

Does CronPad support 6-field expressions?

Yes. CronPad handles both standard 5-field cron (minute, hour, day, month, day-of-week) and extended 6-field cron (adding seconds).

Does CronPad require an internet connection?

No. CronPad works entirely offline. All parsing and scheduling is done on your device.

Where is my history stored?

Expression history is stored locally on your device using SwiftData. It's included in your standard device backups. If you delete the app, your history is deleted with it.

Can I use CronPad on both my iPhone and Mac?

Yes. CronPad is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. History is stored locally on each device.

Is there a subscription?

No. CronPad is completely free with no subscriptions, no ads, and no in-app purchases.
