FREE PRODUCTION CALENDAR
See the whole production,
from prep to delivery, in one view.
Storyflow is a free AI canvas where the production calendar maps every phase, pre-production, the shoot, and post, as milestones you can see and move. Give the AI your delivery date and it drafts the timeline back from it, and the calendar sits next to the plan it tracks. No download, no credit card.

What is a production calendar?
A production calendar is the timeline for an entire project, mapping the phases and milestones from the first day of prep to final delivery. Where a shooting schedule decides the order scenes are filmed on the shoot days themselves, a production calendar zooms out to the whole production: pre-production milestones like a locked script, a locked cast, and a completed schedule, the shoot dates, and the post-production milestones like a rough cut, a picture lock, a sound mix, and delivery. It is how a producer keeps a project moving and knows whether a slip in one phase threatens the deadline.
Most teams keep this in a spreadsheet, a shared calendar, or a project tool, disconnected from the actual work of the production. That gap is the problem: the calendar says a rough cut is due on the fifteenth, but the plan that determines whether that is realistic, the schedule, the shot list, the deliverables, lives somewhere else. Keeping the timeline honest means constantly reconciling it with work you cannot see from the calendar.
Storyflow puts the production calendar on the same board as the plan. It is a free AI-native infinite canvas, so the phases and milestones are cards you can lay out on a timeline next to the breakdown, schedule, and deliverables they depend on. Tell the AI your delivery date and it drafts a calendar working back from it, with realistic prep, shoot, and post phases you can adjust by dragging.
Because the canvas holds the whole project, the calendar moves with the plan. When a shoot date slips or a milestone changes, the phases around it are right there to update, and the AI keeps the context so the timeline stays coherent. Share a view-only link so the whole team and the client see the same dates, or export the calendar as a clean PDF for a production meeting.
HOW IT WORKS
Map the whole production in four steps.
No spreadsheet to maintain. The AI drafts the timeline and the plan sits beside it.
01
Open a free canvas
Sign up in seconds, no credit card. Your infinite canvas opens in the browser, ready for the timeline.
02
Give the AI your dates
Tell it your delivery date or shoot dates and it drafts a production calendar with prep, shoot, and post phases and the milestones in between.
03
Adjust the phases
Drag milestones, stretch or compress phases, and line the calendar up with the schedule and deliverables that sit on the same board.
04
Share and export
Send a view-only link so the team and client see the same dates, or export the calendar as a clean PDF for a production meeting.
The timeline next to the work.
The production calendar and the plan it tracks on one canvas, so the dates reflect the actual work instead of a separate spreadsheet.
AI drafts the timeline from your dates
Work back from delivery
Give the AI your delivery or shoot date and it drafts a calendar with realistic prep, shoot, and post phases. Adjust by dragging, not building it cell by cell.

The calendar sits with the plan
Dates that reflect real work
Keep the calendar beside the schedule, shot list, and deliverables it tracks, so dates reflect the real plan, not an optimistic spreadsheet guess.

Share the timeline with the team
One calendar everyone follows
Send a view-only link so the crew and client see the same dates on any device, or export a clean PDF. Update the board and the shared timeline stays current.

PREP TO DELIVERY
A production calendar that stays tied to the plan.
Storyflow is an AI-native canvas, so the timeline and the work it tracks live on one board instead of a calendar in one app and the plan in another.
The phases of a whole production
Map prep, shoot, and post
Pre-production milestones: Lay out prep milestones like a locked script, locked cast, and finished schedule, so the run-up to the shoot has clear dates.
The shoot window: Block out the shoot days next to the shooting schedule, so the production timeline and the day-by-day plan agree.
Post-production milestones: Map the rough cut, picture lock, sound mix, and delivery, so post is planned as carefully as the shoot, not squeezed in at the end.
The AI builds the timeline with you
Draft it back from the deadline
Work back from delivery: Give the AI your delivery date and it drafts a calendar back from it with realistic phase lengths, so you start from a considered timeline.
See the knock-on of a change: Move a milestone and the AI shows what it pushes downstream, so slipping a shoot date is decided with its consequences in view.
Keep the timeline coherent: Because the AI holds the whole board, adjusting one phase never leaves the rest out of date.
Grounded in the real plan
Dates you can actually trust
Next to the schedule and deliverables: Keep the calendar beside the shooting schedule, shot list, and deliverables, so milestones reflect the work, not an optimistic guess.
One board for the whole project: Hold the timeline and the plan on one board, so a producer sees the dates and the work behind them in one place.
Updates flow through: When the plan changes, the calendar is right there to update, so the timeline and the work never drift into two versions of the truth.
Works for any kind of production
One calendar, any project
Films and series: Map a feature or series across development, prep, shoot, and post, with the milestones each phase needs.
Commercials and music videos: Track a fast turnaround from brief to delivery, where every day counts.
Content and branded video: Plan a content shoot or branded video from scripting to publishing, all on one timeline.

Every template opens as a real, editable board on the infinite canvas. Pick the closest fit and make it your own.
Pre-Production

Production calendars, answered.
What producers ask about mapping a production in Storyflow.
A production calendar is the timeline for a whole project, mapping the phases and milestones from prep through the shoot to delivery. It covers pre-production milestones like a locked script and finished schedule, the shoot dates, and post milestones like a rough cut, picture lock, and delivery. Unlike a shooting schedule, which orders the scenes on the shoot days, the production calendar tracks the entire project. In Storyflow it lives on the same board as the plan.
