Why Timeline

History has a shape.
Now you can see it.

A list of dates is forgettable. A timeline is something else — you can see the gaps, the clusters, the long stretches where nothing happened and then suddenly everything did. Timeline is built around that insight: a bold line, precise dots, and nothing in the way. Whether you're a teacher building a lesson, a student working on a project, or someone who just needs to make sense of something that happened over time — this is the app for that. — Chris Ainsworth, developer

Features

Everything a timeline needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

  • Flexible dates

    Enter dates at any precision — year only, month and year, or down to the minute. BCE dates too, nobody bats an eye.

  • Date ranges

    Events that span time get two dots and a bracket. WWI, the Renaissance, your kitchen renovation — all welcome.

  • Color as a language

    Assign colors to group events by theme, subject, or significance. The app doesn't prescribe what colors mean — you decide.

  • Photos and links

    Attach images, URLs, and YouTube videos to any item. Cards show the full picture; the timeline stays clean.

  • Pinch to zoom

    Zoom out to see the whole sweep of history. Zoom in to find the hour-by-hour detail of a single day. The timeline knows what it contains and scales accordingly.

  • iPhone and iPad

    On iPhone, tap dots to reveal cards. On iPad, cards are always visible — ideal for presenting on a big screen or via AirPlay.

For the Classroom

Built with teachers
and students in mind.

Create a timeline, share it with your class as a single file, and every student opens it on their own device. The iPad layout is made for AirPlay presentation — put it on the big screen and scroll through history together.

Ancient Rome to the Industrial Revolution. The water cycle. The life of a novel from draft to shelf. If it has a sequence, it has a timeline.
