About 0 14 * * *
0 14 * * * runs once a day at 2 PM in the scheduler's timezone. GitHub Actions defaults to UTC and accepts a timezone setting. Use the timezone picker to see when that actually lands for you.
Cron reads the five fields as minute hour day month weekday. For this schedule that breaks down as:
| Field | Position | Matches |
|---|---|---|
0 | minute | 0 |
14 | hour | 14 |
* | day of month | every day |
* | month | every month |
* | day of week | every day of the week |

Use it in crontab or GitHub Actions
The snippets below use UTC. The crontab timezone setting requires a compatible daemon such as Cronie. GitHub Actions defaults to UTC and accepts a timezone on each schedule. For other timezones, Kubernetes, EventBridge Scheduler, or Vercel, use the export menu in the calculator above.
crontab
# At 02:00 PM, every day # CRON_TZ requires a cron implementation that supports it, such as Cronie. CRON_TZ=UTC 0 14 * * * /path/to/command
GitHub Actions workflow
# At 02:00 PM, every day
