Made this for small shop and store owners who need a simple calendar image for "closed" days or special hours — the kind you post on Instagram or print for the door. Set your marks and labels, tap the dates, hit download. That's it. No account needed, works instantly in your browser.

Hi Product Hunt community! Maker here. 👋 I want to share the real (and a bit personal) story of why I built "Calendar Maker." By day, I work at a retail chain with about 100 stores. My job was to manage the monthly opening calendars for all 100 branches on our website. Every month, stores had different days off, and last-minute changes drove me absolutely crazy (I was literally screaming at my screen! 😂). So, I built a massive enterprise system using Google APIs to sync everything across spreadsheets and Google Maps in one click. Problem solved for big business. But one evening, I was browsing Instagram to check the opening days of my favorite local Japanese Wagashi (traditional sweets) shop. That’s when it hit me. These days, everyone looks up local shop hours on Instagram, not websites. And looking at that small sweets shop's calendar image, I realized something: I am a web professional, so fighting with calendars is my job. But for local shop owners? Their real job is baking delicious sweets, greeting customers, and running their passion. Yet, they are forced to spend precious time every month struggling to create calendar images. To be honest, I’m personally not very good at using Canva. It’s an amazing tool, but it feels a bit too heavy and complex when you just want to do one simple thing. That is why I created "Calendar Maker." I stripped away all the complex enterprise features and created the most minimal, lightweight tool possible. No sign-ups, no complex design layers. Just tap the dates, and download your Instagram-ready image in as little as 10 seconds. It’s the first mini-tool under my project "Chocoto.app" (meaning "a little bit helpful apps" in Japanese). I want to help small business owners save their time so they can focus on what they love most. Actually, today is my birthday! 🎂 Launching this tiny passion project to the world is the best gift I could ever give myself. If this tool brings a smile to your face (or saves you precious time), that would be the best birthday present for me! I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! Thank you so much for reading my story! 🤎

A real time-saver for posting quick schedule updates, the no-account setup is clutch. One thing that would make it even better is the ability to save preset templates for recurring schedules like monthly holiday hours so you don't have to redo the same setup each time.

Thank you so much for trying it out and for the kind words! 🙏

That's such a great idea — recurring patterns would save a lot of repetitive tapping. I'd love to figure out a way to do that while keeping things sign-up-free, though I haven't landed on the best approach yet.

Really appreciate the specific feedback!
