About this tool
Plan content calendar tasks with organized inputs, timelines, and clear next steps.
Content Calendar Planner is a month-grid editorial calendar where each piece carries a platform, content type, publish date, status, budget, target reach, notes and its own production checklist. It covers six channels — blog, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X and newsletter — and pre-fills each with that channel's usual production steps, then rolls the whole plan up into total budget, total target reach and an average completion percentage. It is for solo creators and small marketing teams who need one view of what ships when and how much of it is actually done.
Open Content Calendar Planner on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Fill in the 'Create New Campaign' form: Post Title, a Channel (YouTube Video, Blog Article, Instagram Post, LinkedIn Post, Twitter/X Post or Email Newsletter), Asset Type, Release Date, Status, and optionally Budget (USD), Target Reach and Strategic Notes.
Check the Campaign Subtasks checklist, which pre-fills with that channel's production steps — tick any that are done, or type into 'Add custom task...' and press the plus button to add your own — then press 'Publish to Calendar'.
Use the month grid to click a day and filter to it, narrow further with the platform pills, the status dropdown and the 'Search campaigns...' box, and watch Avg Progress and Subtask Progress update as you tick items off each card's Pipeline Checklist.
Pick YouTube and you get script, record, edit, thumbnail and upload steps; pick blog and you get keyword research through CMS publish — no rebuilding the same list each time.
Average progress is the mean of each post's completed-task ratio, so a piece with one of five steps done cannot look as ready as one with four.
Clicking a calendar date narrows the list to that day, and the platform and status filters stack on top of it plus a text search across title, type and notes.
Six: blog, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X and newsletter. Each has its own colour, badge and default task list — Instagram, LinkedIn and X get four default steps, while blog, YouTube and newsletter get five.
It averages the completion ratio of each post's checklist, not the raw task count. A post with two of four tasks done contributes 50 percent regardless of how many tasks other posts have, so one long checklist cannot dominate the number.
Yes — the calendar saves to your browser's local storage and reloads it on your next visit. It is per-browser, so a teammate opening the same page sees their own calendar, not yours.
Draft, Scheduled and Published mark where a piece sits in the pipeline, and each has its own colour on the calendar and in the list. Filtering to Draft close to a publish date is the quickest way to find work that has not moved.
