+# Cronify
+
+Parse human-friendly schedule descriptions into cron expressions and next-occurrence timestamps.
+
+```ruby
+Cronify.parse("every weekday at 9am")
+# => #<Cronify::Schedule cron="0 9 * * 1-5" ...>
+
+Cronify.parse("first Monday of each month at noon")
+# => #<Cronify::Schedule cron="0 12 ? * 1#1" ...>
+
+Cronify.parse("every 2 hours between 8am and 6pm")
+# => #<Cronify::Schedule cron="0 8,10,12,14,16,18 * * *" ...>
+```
+
+Cronify fills the gap between raw cron syntax and heavy scheduling libraries. It outputs cron strings compatible with Sidekiq, Whenever, and similar tools, plus the next N fire times as Ruby `Time` objects.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+bundle add cronify
+```
+
+Or add to your Gemfile manually:
+
+```ruby
+gem "cronify"
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Parsing a schedule
+
+```ruby
+schedule = Cronify.parse("every weekday at 9am")
+
+schedule.cron                     # => "0 9 * * 1-5"
+schedule.next_occurrence          # => 2026-03-16 09:00:00 UTC
+schedule.next_occurrences(n: 3)   # => [2026-03-16 09:00:00 UTC, 2026-03-17 09:00:00 UTC, 2026-03-18 09:00:00 UTC]
+schedule.original_input           # => "every weekday at 9am"
+schedule.timezone                 # => "UTC"
+```
+
+### Timezones
+
+Pass any valid [TZInfo identifier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones) via the `timezone:` keyword:
+
+```ruby
+schedule = Cronify.parse("every weekday at 9am", timezone: "Europe/Athens")
+schedule.next_occurrence # => time expressed in Europe/Athens
+```
+
+An invalid timezone raises `Cronify::Error` immediately with a descriptive message.
+
+## Supported patterns
+
+| Input                                                                | Cron output                    |
+|----------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
+| `"every N hours"`                                                    | `0 */N * * *`                  |
+| `"every N minutes"`                                                  | `*/N * * * *`                  |
+| `"every day at <time>"`                                              | `0 H * * *`                    |
+| `"every weekday at <time>"`                                          | `0 H * * 1-5`                  |
+| `"every weekend at <time>"`                                          | `0 H * * 6,0`                  |
+| `"first/second/third/fourth/last <weekday> of each month at <time>"` | `0 H ? * W#N` / `0 H ? * WL`   |
+| `"every N hours between <time> and <time>"`                          | `0 H1,H2,... * * *`            |
+
+**Accepted time formats:** `9am`, `5pm`, `9:30am`, `noon`, `midnight`
+
+### Cron dialect
+
+Cronify targets **Quartz/Sidekiq cron syntax**. This means:
+
+- Ordinal weekday patterns use `#N` notation: `1#1` = first Monday, `5#3` = third Friday
+- Last weekday of month uses `L` suffix: `5L` = last Friday
+- The `?` wildcard is used in the day-of-month field when day-of-week is specified
+
+This syntax is supported by [Sidekiq Pro](https://sidekiq.org), [sidekiq-cron](https://github.com/sidekiq-cron/sidekiq-cron), and [Whenever](https://github.com/javan/whenever). It is **not** compatible with standard POSIX cron.
+
+## Error handling
+
+```ruby
+# Unrecognized input
+Cronify.parse("whenever I feel like it")
+# => raises Cronify::ParseError: Unrecognized schedule: 'whenever I feel like it'
+
+# Invalid timezone
+Cronify.parse("every day at 9am", timezone: "Not/Real")
+# => raises Cronify::Error: Unknown timezone: 'Not/Real'. Use a valid TZInfo identifier...
+```
+
+### Exception hierarchy
+
+```
+StandardError
+└── Cronify::Error
+    ├── Cronify::ParseError           # input string not recognized
+    └── Cronify::AmbiguousInputError  # input matches multiple patterns
+```
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+bin/setup            # install dependencies
+bundle exec rspec    # run tests
+bundle exec rubocop  # lint
+bin/console          # interactive prompt
+```
+
+## Type signatures
+
+Cronify ships with [RBS](https://github.com/ruby/rbs) type signatures in the `sig/` directory. To use them with your project's type checker:
+
+```sh
+bundle exec rbs collection install
+```
+
+Signatures cover the full public API (`Cronify.parse`, `Schedule`, and all error classes) and are validated in CI.

+description: Cronify parses human-friendly schedule descriptions (e.g. 'every weekday
+  at 9am', 'first Monday of each month') into standard cron strings and next-occurrence
+  timestamps. Designed for SaaS apps where users configure their own recurring schedules,
+  with output compatible with Sidekiq, Whenever, and similar tools.
