Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Timezone Converter do?
It shows how the next runs of your cron expression translate in different timezones, without changing the cron itself.
Does cron include a timezone?
Standard cron runs in the server’s timezone. The expression doesn’t carry timezone info. Convert for display/understanding, not for embedding.
How should I schedule globally?
Prefer UTC on servers and convert display times for users. Document timezone assumptions and test DST transitions.
