What the tool does, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.
In astable mode the capacitor charges through R1 + R2 and discharges through R2. High time = 0.693 × (R1 + R2) × C, low time = 0.693 × R2 × C, frequency = 1 ÷ (high + low) ≈ 1.44 ÷ ((R1 + 2R2) × C). With 1 kΩ, 10 kΩ and 10 µF: 76.2 ms high, 69.3 ms low, 6.87 Hz. In monostable mode the pulse is 1.1 × R × C.

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.
Not in the basic circuit, since high time is always longer. Make R2 much larger than R1 to get close, or add a diode across R2.
Kilohms and microfarads; kΩ × µF gives milliseconds.
