Plan Your Album Release Calendar

Keep track of upcoming music, movie, and book releases. Add your own dates, use presets, and share your calendar with a link.

Click a date with a dot to see releases.

Your Albums

How to Use This Planner

Start by adding albums you care about. Click the "Add Album" button and fill in the artist, album title, and release date. You can also add a short note. The calendar will show your releases as dots on the grid. Navigate months using the arrows. Click any dot to see what's coming out that day.

If you want to get started quickly, use the "Load Presets" button. It fills the calendar with a handful of popular 2026 releases across different genres. You can edit or delete any entry later.

Common Mistakes

Wrong date format: Use YYYY-MM-DD. The app will warn you if the date doesn't look right.
Forgetting to save: Your changes are saved automatically in your browser, but if you clear your browser data, you'll lose them. Export or copy the share link as a backup.
Too many entries: The share link can get very long if you have dozens of albums. Consider exporting a text file instead.

Why This Works

Most release calendars force you to sign up or show ads for albums you don't care about. This one stays private, works offline, and only shows what you add. It's a simple worksheet that helps you plan listening parties, shopping trips, or content for your blog.

Assumptions

We assume you're adding albums that have confirmed release dates. If a date changes, you can edit the entry. The calendar doesn't check official sources, so double-check with the artist or label.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I import data from a file?: Not directly, but you can paste a JSON string into the "Import JSON" field in the settings area. The format should be an array of objects with artist, title, date, and notes.
Will my data be saved if I close the browser?: Yes, as long as you use the same browser and don't clear local storage. We also recommend exporting or copying the share link for backup.
How do I share my calendar with someone?: Click "Copy Link" to get a URL that includes your album list. Anyone with the link can see your calendar in their browser.
Can I change the calendar view?: You can navigate by month and year. The calendar shows releases as colored dots on the grid. Click a dot to see details.
