Put your history on the line.
Download on the App StoreA 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
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.
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.
