A cron expression — five stars that mean every Monday, a schedule as a string.

A delay queue — a message delivered, but not yet, held back for later.

Jitterjitter

A line that wobbles unevenly above a baseline — random jitter added to a schedule.

A cron schedule — at these minutes on these days, a recurring timer expression.

A timer dial with a play on its face — a run that starts on a schedule.

In code, each is one import — import { BackoffExponential } from "@iconmind/react/icons/backoff-exponential" — and the same name in Vue, Svelte, Solid, Preact, React Native, Astro, Blade and Flutter.
