EventThread is the timeline app for people who got tired of fighting with their timeline app. Type "1944" or "1940-1944" โ€” it understands. Add a location and see it on the map. Pick how overlapping events are shown: as swim lanes, stacked bars, or compact rows. Then export the whole thing to Word, PDF, or share it as text โ€” perfect for handing off to a teacher, a client, or a family member. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD - Biographies and family histories - Military service records - Historical research timelines - Wedding planning schedules - Project timelines, study plans, anything time-shaped FEATURES - Three overlap views โ€” swim lanes (grouped by category), stacked (auto-arranged), or compact - Flexible dates โ€” type a year, a month, a full date, or a range like "1940-1944" - Custom categories with your own colors and icons - Optional locations per event, with map view and star pins - Five starter templates: Biography, Military, Historical, Wedding Planning, or Blank - Smooth zoom from decades down to days - Export to Word (.docx), PDF, or plain text โ€” share anywhere PRO UPGRADE (one-time, no subscription) - Unlimited timelines (free tier includes 3) - Photo attachments on events - Custom export templates with your own header, footer, accent color, and font THE BIGBUNNY PROMISE No ads.
