BATCH / ONE VALUE PER LINE
Up to 200 lines, one at a time, in this browser. Each line takes the place of cron and everything else stays as you set it. Nothing is uploaded, and the row limit is not exceeded silently.
METHOD / LOCAL RUN
The five whitespace-separated fields are tokenized and labelled. Wildcards, ranges (e.g. 1-5), steps (e.g. */10), and lists (e.g. 1,3,5) are recognised and surfaced in the summary.
Boundary: Cron dialects and extensions vary across platforms. This does not calculate run times, validate platform-specific syntax, or account for timezone/DST behavior.
The calculation or transformation runs in your browser using the values entered above. No input is sent to UtilityForge for this tool.

No. This published tool runs locally in your browser. UtilityForge does not send the values entered in this workbench to a server.
No. This workbench runs in the page: Five-field cron expression are read by the code your browser already downloaded, and UtilityForge receives neither the values nor the result.
Yes, and it is enforced rather than advertised: Five-field cron expression (200 characters). The limit is a browser input limit on a tool that runs on this device, so nothing is truncated after being sent anywhere.
