Creator Planning Board - Offline Video Planner for YouTube, Shorts & TikTok

Plan every video, from the hook to the pinned comment, without another subscription.

Creator Planning Board is a planning board for solo creators. It runs offline. Each video is a card that moves through Idea → Scripting → Filming → Editing → Thumbnail → Scheduled → Published. The card holds what you need at each step:

• Basics: title with a live counter against YouTube's 100-character limit, platform (YouTube, Shorts or TikTok), target date, hook, script link, tags and notes
• Production: thumbnail concept and text (with an advisory word counter), assets and footage notes, a production checklist
• Publish & sponsor: a publish checklist (title, description, tags, thumbnail, end screen, pinned comment), sponsor and deadline, a post-publish follow-up note

See the whole month. The calendar has Month, Week and List views. Titles wrap instead of being cut off, and sponsor deadlines show up as "Due". The screenshots use the built-in demo month: about 30 videos across YouTube, Shorts and TikTok.

Print it. Print a weekly plan with checkboxes, or a landscape monthly content calendar, or save either as a PDF.

Know your data is safe. A status bar always shows when the board was last autosaved and when you last made a backup, with Back up now one click away. If a week passes without a backup, the app reminds you. Backups are plain JSON files; import checks them first and offers Replace or Merge with Undo.

It is a single HTML file. Double-click it and it opens in your browser. No install, no sign-up, and the app makes no network requests.

System requirements

• Desktop browser: Chrome or Edge 105+, or Firefox 98+. Safari 15.4+ is expected to work but is untested.
• Tested with an automated end-to-end suite in Chrome and Edge on Windows 11.
• No internet connection, installation or account needed. It does not connect to YouTube or TikTok.
• A screen at least 1024 px wide is recommended. All seven columns fit at 1280 px.

What it is, and what it is not

v1.1 is an early release: a working, single-user planning tool that runs offline in your browser. It is not a hosted service or a team workspace: no sync between devices, no collaboration, no YouTube or TikTok integration and no push notifications. Your board lives in your browser's storage, so keep backups (the app reminds you). The calendar does not support drag-to-reschedule.

Support covers help with using the tool and fixes for reproducible bugs in supported browsers, via the comments on this page, on a best-effort basis.

How it was made

Designed by our studio; the code was written with an AI coding assistant and tested with an automated end-to-end suite. No AI-generated images are used in the app.
