Tips & FAQ

- For the weekday field, usually both 0 and 7 represent Sunday; this tool typically uses 0-6.
- All parsing and calculation are done locally in your browser; no data is uploaded to any server.
- For complex expressions, it is recommended to build them using the 'Visual generator' first, then fine-tune manually.
