The all-in-one release planner for independent artists

Every Release, consistently handled.

Every task, deadline, and royalty step for your next single, EP, or album — in one calm place that counts down to drop day and automates the busywork, so the work that makes or breaks a release (and the money you'd leave on the table) never slips through the cracks.

Sound familiar?

Staying on top of a release gets overwhelming.

Not because you don't care — because a release is huge, spread across a dozen tabs, and your brain is the only thing holding it together.

"I had it organized in Notion… then it fell apart a week before release."The plan never survives contact with release week.
"Wait, the Spotify pitch window already closed?"You needed to upload four weeks early. It doesn't reopen.
"I never registered half my songs."SoundExchange, the MLC, your PRO — years of royalties, just sitting there.
"Same release, same twelve steps — and I still forget two."Trello, a Notes doc, three group chats, and your memory as the glue.
The fact-checked checklist

We keep the list correct, so you don't have to.

A real, current rollout — every step a release actually needs, in the right order, counting backward from drop day.

The whole release, phased from six weeks out to long-tail.

Pick single, EP, or album and the checklist shapes itself — albums even fan out per track, so the master and metadata on song nine never slip.

  • Built around how releases really work in the modern streaming era — distributor quirks, Canvas specs, lyric sync, the lot.
  • Each step opens with plain-English detail and the links you need — no googling "what's a one-stop clearance" again.
  • The boring-but-lucrative steps (PRO, SoundExchange, mechanicals) are first-class, not afterthoughts.
The connected release

Plugs into the tools you already use.

DropDay sits at the center of your release — pulling your catalog, your shows, your lyrics, and your money steps into one timeline. Not another silo. The layer that ties them together.

Momentum, not vanity

Watch your audience grow.

Every time you open DropDay it snapshots your public signals — Spotify followers and popularity, Deezer fans, YouTube subs and views — and charts the trend. Real momentum across platforms, in one honest view. No $250-a-month analytics seat required.

  • Growth tracked daily, so you see what a release actually moved.
  • Per-release health: progress, days to drop, what got done this week.
  • Public proxy metrics, labeled honestly — never faked stream counts.

What you get

Less juggling. More music.

Deadlines that find you

Every date counts backward from drop day — the pitch window, the teasers, the +30-day SoundExchange claim all surface exactly when they matter.

Import your catalog

Pull your whole discography straight from Spotify — back catalog and your next drop in one place. No retyping tracklists.

Never guess what's next

The whole rollout is laid out for you — every step a release needs, in order, kept current and correct. No re-learning the process each time, no hoping you didn't forget something.

Royalties, claimed

One-stop clearance, DISCO metadata, PRO + SoundExchange + mechanicals — the money steps most artists skip are built in and tracked per song.

Singles, EPs & albums

Pick the type, get the right list. Albums fan out per track for masters, ISRCs, and metadata — nothing on the deep cuts gets dropped.

Your team, in sync

Assign the artwork, the pitch, the captions — and actually see what's done. One source of truth instead of "did anyone post the reel?"

Who it's for

One artist or a whole roster.

Solo & bands

You're the artist and the whole team.

Pricing

Pays for itself the first time it catches one thing.

Straight answers

The honest FAQ.

Is this just another to-do app?

No. The whole point is the content — a curated, fact-checked release workflow (kept current, down to the CD Baby / Boost / SoundExchange / sync details most artists miss), shaped around how releases actually work. You're not building the list. We did, and we keep it correct.

Does it replace my distributor?

Nope — and that's on purpose. DropDay works alongside CD Baby, DistroKid, TuneCore, whoever you use. Keep your money pipe exactly as it is. We're the layer that makes sure you actually do every step, on time, across all your tools.

How does it help me get paid?

The royalty and registration steps — PRO, SoundExchange's Featured Artist share, MLC mechanicals, publishing admin — are first-class tasks with deadlines, tracked per song. The stuff people forget and lose years of royalties on. DropDay makes sure you don't.

I manage a few artists. Does that work?

That's a sweet spot. Run every artist's rollout from one place, assign tasks to your team, and see what's on track versus behind across the whole roster — instead of chasing updates in ten group chats.

When can I use it?

Now — it's in early access. Create a free account and you're in, at founding-member pricing.

Who's building this?

A working indie band that got tired of running releases out of spreadsheets and group chats — and decided to build the tool we wished existed. Made by musicians, for musicians.

Your next release deserves to go right.
