Introducing Runway: A Visual Content Calendar for Your Team

When we shipped Content Calendar last week, it was a simple date-based planner — titles, dates, and statuses. Useful, but not enough to replace the spreadsheets and sticky notes most teams actually use to plan content.

Today we're replacing it with Runway: a proper visual calendar that shows your content plan the way you think about it — as days on a grid, not rows in a table.

Month View

The default view is a full month grid, just like Google Calendar. Each day cell shows your events color-coded by category, with all-day events pinned to the top. Days from the previous and next months are visible in the overflow cells so you can see the full picture without clicking around.

Click any day to create a new event. Click an existing event to edit it. The whole grid updates instantly — no page reloads.

Week View

Switch to week view for a detailed hourly breakdown. Timed events are positioned precisely on a vertical time grid, so you can see exactly when things are scheduled and spot gaps or conflicts at a glance. All-day events sit in a dedicated row at the top.

Click any time slot to create an event pre-filled with that time. This is especially useful for scheduling social posts, email sends, or press release embargoes at specific hours.

Drag-and-Drop Rescheduling

Need to move an event to a different day? Just drag it. Runway uses the HTML5 Drag and Drop API to let you reschedule events by dragging them between day cells in month view. The change saves instantly — no modal, no confirmation dialog. If you need to undo it, just drag it back.

Only event creators can move their own events, so team members can't accidentally reschedule each other's content.

Recurring Events

Some content happens on a schedule. Weekly social posts, monthly newsletters, daily check-ins — creating them one at a time is tedious. Runway now supports three recurrence patterns:

• Daily — Repeats every day until the end date
• Weekly — Repeats on the same day each week
• Monthly — Repeats on the same date each month

Recurring events are expanded into virtual instances on the calendar so you can see every occurrence. The original event shows normally; recurring instances display a small repeat icon so you know they're part of a series. Set an optional end date to stop the recurrence automatically.

Search and Color Filters

Two new ways to find what you're looking for:

• Instant search — Type in the search bar and results filter in real time (debounced at 300ms). Search matches against event titles and descriptions on the server, so it works even with hundreds of events.
• Color filter chips — Each event has a color category (blue, green, purple, orange, pink, and more). Click a color chip in the toolbar to show only events of that color. Stack multiple colors to narrow further. This is great for filtering by content type when your team uses a consistent color scheme.

Personal and Team Views

The view toggle lets you switch between three perspectives:

• All — Everything on the calendar, from everyone
• Team — Only events marked as team-visible
• Personal — Only your own personal events

This keeps the calendar usable even as your team grows. Plan your own content privately, then mark events as team-visible when you're ready to share the schedule.

Event Categories

Every event can now be tagged with a category. We ship five presets — Ad Launch, Social Post, Email Campaign, Deadline, and Meeting — plus a custom "Other" option for anything that doesn't fit neatly into a box.

Categories appear as small badges on your event bars, so you can tell at a glance what type of content is scheduled on any given day. Use the new category filter chips in the toolbar to show only the categories you care about.

Comments

Open any existing event and you'll see a new Comments section at the bottom of the modal. Leave a note, tag feedback for your team, or track approvals — all in a flat chronological thread attached directly to the event. Comments are visible to everyone on the team, and you can delete your own if needed.

Reminders

Set a reminder when creating or editing an event. Choose from 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day before the event. When the time comes, you'll get an in-app notification (look for the badge on the Runway sidebar button) and, if your organization has email configured, a reminder email as well.

Click the notification badge to see all your recent notifications. Mark them as read individually or all at once.

Import & Export (.ics)

Two new buttons in the toolbar let you move events between Runway and any calendar app that supports the iCalendar standard (Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and more):

• Export — Downloads the current month's events as an .ics file you can import into any calendar app
• Import — Pick an .ics file from your computer and Runway will create events for every entry it finds

This makes it easy to bring existing schedules into Runway or share your content plan with stakeholders who use different tools.

Duplicate Events

When you open an existing event, you'll see a new Duplicate button alongside Delete. Click it and Runway opens a new event form pre-filled with all the same details — title, description, category, color, visibility, recurrence — but with the date cleared so you can pick a new one. Great for creating variations of a campaign across multiple dates without starting from scratch.

Print Your Calendar

Hit the Print button in the toolbar and your browser's print dialog opens with a clean, landscape-oriented version of the month grid. All the toolbar buttons, sidebar, and modals are hidden automatically — you get just the calendar and your events, ready for a wall poster or a meeting handout.

Why "Runway"?

A runway is where things take off. Your content plan lives here before it goes live — the staging area where ideas become scheduled, scheduled becomes drafted, and drafted becomes published. We wanted a name that reflected that forward momentum.

You'll find Runway in the sidebar under its new name. Everything else works the same — same URL, same data, same permissions.
