Truly Simple Timeline vs Chronly

Truly Simple Timeline was built by a professional author to keep track of narrative arcs, story beats, and character moments across a novel.

Need a timeline for a school project, a history report, a family story or a project plan? Chronly turns your dated events into a clean, printable timeline poster — no design app, no template hunting. Give your timeline a title, add events with a date, an optional emoji and a color, and tap Make Poster. Chronly sorts everything by date and lays it out along a horizontal axis. • SORTED BY DATE — add events in any order; they're placed on the timeline chronologically. • CLEAN LAYOUT — a horizontal axis with labels alternating above and below the line, each showing the event title and its date. • EMOJI AND COLOR — give each event an emoji and one of 8 marker colors so milestones stand out. • PRINTABLE PDF — a landscape US Letter poster, ready to print from your iPhone or save to Files. • SHAREABLE PNG — the same poster as an image, for slides, messages or class portals. Honest scope: up to 40 events per timeline. Events are spaced evenly in date order, not to scale by time. Busy timelines stay readable: labels step onto staggered rows and shrink slightly so they never overlap. Long titles are shortened to fit, and dates print in your own date style. Everything is made on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed. Try it free — 3 posters. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited posters. No subscription, no ads.
