Template

Launch plan template

Enter your launch date and who does what. The template puts 22 launch tasks on calendar dates, assigns them to three roles and adds up the hours per person. Download it as CSV or Markdown, or print it.

Your launch plan

Synthetic example: a fictional two-person team (Mira builds and supports, Jon markets) launching on a fictional date. Hours are example assumptions. Replace the date, the names and anything else with your own.

Who covers each role?One person can cover several roles. Up to 40 characters.

Your date and names are saved only in this browser (localStorage). Nothing is sent to LaunchRepo.

Workload per person

  • Mira 50 h · 13 tasks
  • Jon 32 h · 9 tasks

Roles and workload

The plan uses three roles instead of job titles, so it works for a solo founder as well as a small team. Put the same name on several roles and the workload adds up per person.

Build
Product, landing page, checkout, quality and fixes.
Market
Positioning, assets, copy, channels and follow-ups.
Support
Legal pages, emails, replies, user conversations and records.

How to adapt the plan

  1. Move the launch date first. All 22 tasks keep their distance to launch day, so the plan shifts in one step.
  2. If you work alone, enter your name in all three roles. The workload table then shows your total hours, which is the honest check of whether 30 days are enough.
  3. Change tasks after exporting: the CSV opens in any spreadsheet, the Markdown pastes into a README, an issue or a note. Add your own rows there.
  4. Keep the order of the slow tasks. Accounts, directories and emails have waiting times you cannot shorten on launch day.

Blank files without dates

Prefer to start from an empty sheet? These files contain the same 22 tasks with their day offsets and roles, without dates or names.

Plan or checklist?

This template answers when and who. The SaaS launch checklist answers what: 30 tasks with the reason and an official source for each, to tick off and export.

Frequently asked questions

Is the launch plan template free?
Yes. You can use it in the browser, download CSV or Markdown and print it without an account or email address.
Can I use it in Google Sheets or Excel?
Yes. Download the CSV and import it into Google Sheets, Excel or Numbers. The file is UTF-8, so accents and CJK characters stay intact.
Is the example a real launch?
No. The team, the names and the date are synthetic, and the hours are example assumptions. Replace them with your own.
How long before launch should I start?
The template starts 30 days before launch day because free directory queues and account setup take time. With less time, keep the order and compress the gaps.
Where are my date and names stored?
Only in this browser’s localStorage. Nothing is sent to LaunchRepo, and “Back to the example” clears them.

Hand the directory rows to your agent

LaunchRepo gives your coding agent the playbooks, dashboard and tracker for the directory submissions in this plan, so the “Channels” rows get done and recorded.
