What is a content calendar?

A content calendar is one overview of everything you plan to publish: which post goes out on which day, on which channel, and how far along it is. It turns "we should post more on LinkedIn" into a plan you can see. Most teams start with a spreadsheet. This calendar gives you the same overview with a month and week view, a color per channel, and a warning when a day in your rhythm is still empty.

How to use this content calendar

• Click a day (or + New post) to plan a post. Give it a title, a date, a channel and a status, and add a short note if you like: the hook, the link, who writes it.
• Switch between the Month and Week view. On a phone, both views show as a list per day.
• Click a channel at the top to hide or show it. Handy when you only want to see your newsletter, or everything except Instagram.
• Click a post to change it, move it to another date or delete it.
• Use Export CSV to open your plan in Excel or Google Sheets, or Print for a printed month or week on the wall.
• Use Import CSV to bring posts in from a spreadsheet, or from an export you made in another browser. It needs the columns Date, Channel and Title.

Your posting rhythm and open slots

A content calendar works best with a fixed rhythm, like LinkedIn every Tuesday and Thursday and the newsletter every Friday. Open Channels & rhythm below the calendar and pick the days for each channel. From today on, every rhythm day without a post shows as a dashed open slot, so you see at a glance where you still need something. Click an open slot to plan that post straight away.

In the same place you add your own channels, give each one a color, and choose whether your week starts on Monday or Sunday.

From idea to published

Every post has a status, so the calendar shows how far along you are, not only what is planned:

• Idea: a topic you want to cover, nothing written yet.
• Draft: someone is writing it.
• Scheduled: it is ready and set to go out.
• Published: it is live.

The summary above the calendar counts the posts per status and the open slots for the month or week you are looking at.

Make it your own

Every team plans differently: other channels, other days, its own steps before a post goes out. Click Make this your own to get your own copy of this calendar in your Toolcrow account. Your copy is private by default: only you can open it until you decide to share it. It starts empty, so click Export CSV here first and Import CSV in your copy to bring your plan along.

• Change it with Claude or ChatGPT. At the top of the code is a block called CONFIG, marked "Make it your own". It holds your channels and their colors, your posting rhythm, the statuses and the first day of the week. Paste the code into your AI, ask for what you need, for example "add TikTok and post there every Monday", and paste the new version back into Toolcrow.
• Share it when you are ready, with a link or with a password, so your colleagues can see the plan.
• Later, one planning for your team. Ask your AI to keep the posts in the tool's shared data in Toolcrow instead of in your browser, and everyone you share it with plans in the same calendar.

Is my plan private?

Yes. This calendar runs entirely in your browser. Your posts are saved in this browser only, so they are still there when you come back, and nothing is uploaded to Toolcrow or anyone else. That also means clearing your browser data removes them, and another device or browser starts empty. Export to CSV now and then if you want a backup, and use Import CSV to load it again.
