Description
Timelines is a free, open-source desktop app for building interactive timelines for history and worldbuilding. It's local-first, so your data stays on your device, with no accounts or ads. Events, spans that branch and merge, and eras share one canvas, with map and spreadsheet views of the same data. Link Markdown notes and sources from your existing vault, sync through GitHub with version history, and share a web link anyone can view.
