Scroll through time, zoom in and out, and find any moment in seconds. CREATE TIMELINES • Make as many timelines as you want: "Japan 2024," "House Renovation," "Baby’s First Year," or "Project Alpha." • Each timeline is a separate story you can open, edit, and scroll through. ADD RICH ENTRIES • Give every entry a title and date so it appears in the right place on the timeline. • Add a description, pick a location on the map, and attach up to 5 photos per entry. • Entries are ordered by date automatically—no manual sorting. NAVIGATE YOUR STORY • Scroll horizontally through your timeline to move through time. • Zoom in to see every entry, or zoom out to see months and years at a glance. • Search within a timeline to jump to the entry you want. DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY • Clean, modern interface with optional dark mode. • Your data stays on your device by default—private and under your control. • Optional cloud sync when you need your timelines on more than one device. Whether you’re documenting a trip, tracking project milestones, or keeping a personal chronology, TimeLines keeps everything in order so you can focus on the story.
