Free release planning tool
Build a music release schedule around the dates that matter.
Start with a release date and create a practical release plan calculator for the work before and after launch. It keeps delivery, content lock, and playlist-pitch deadlines visible without claiming that a date guarantees a result.
Timeline inputs
Choose the release conditions. The schedule updates as soon as the date is valid.
Required. The schedule uses calendar dates, not time-zone timestamps. Dates that cannot safely contain every milestone are not generated.
Choose a valid release date to generate a dated schedule.
Critical-date guidance
Protect the dates outside your control.
These dates protect the delivery and pitching windows you do not control. The rest of the plan has more room to move.
- Content lock
- Masters, metadata, and final artwork are ready for delivery.
- Distributor upload
- Complete delivery using the locked release date.
- Spotify pitch
- Submit no later than seven days before release after delivery is visible in Spotify for Artists.
How the schedule reads
See the least flexible dates before the complete plan.
The generated schedule puts its currently applicable critical milestones first, then shows every dated task with its source timing, owner, dependencies, and current status.
Timing sources
Timings last checked: 2026-08-08, against Spotify for Artists and DistroKid. Playlist pitching is editorial consideration, not a promise of placement.
Keep the plan live when the work moves.
This is a static plan. It's correct the day you export it and out of date the first time something slips.
MNGR keeps it live: dates move together when one moves, every task has an owner and a status, and the whole thing sits on the same calendar as your shows.
