Aeon Timeline 3
Create beautiful data rich timelines
Create beautifully organised, data rich timelines for every project: packed with templates and features for creative writing, project management, legal case management, and research and education projects.


SAME DATA, MANY VIEWS:

In Aeon Timeline 3, create your data once and visualise it any number of ways:
  • Timeline View: a graphical representation of events across time
  • Relationship View: a matrix showing how your events relate to people and places
  • Spreadsheet View: rapid data entry to get down your ideas
  • Subway View: shows how individual threads of people, story arcs and concepts are intertwined
  • Narrative View: a graphical depiction of an independent narrative order and structure
  • Outline View: a spreadsheet-like outline display of your narrative structure
  • Mindmap View: a free-form space to brainstorm ideas and create visual representations of relationships


FOR WRITERS:

Whether you are just starting your next writing project or looking to edit and refine the next great novel, Aeon Timeline helps you understand your story world like never before:
  • Connect events in your story timeline with characters and setting
  • Arrange events into story arcs and themes
  • Track character ages and developments through back story and live scenes
  • Drag events from your timeline into a story outline
  • On desktop, sync your narrative and characters with your writing project in Scrivener (Mac/Win) or Ulysses (Mac-only)
  • Story set off-world? No problem, build your own fantasy calendar


FOR PROJECT MANAGERS:

Break free of gantt charts with a range of views to visualise your project plan in new ways:
  • Quickly break down your project structure in Spreadsheet View
  • Organise tasks into hierarchies of stories, epics and projects
  • Assign people and resources to tasks; use split views and filters to compare progress across projects or people
  • Use date constraints and dependencies to keep your project in logical order
  • Add your own custom fields to track the data you need


FOR LEGAL CASE MANAGEMENT:

Create a visual representation of your legal case for clearer insights and court room presentations:
  • Map connections between known events and facts with specific people, places, and documents involved
  • Use stacked split views to compare and corroborate different versions of events, and analyse theories of your legal case
  • Use dependencies and constraints to find inconsistencies in testimonies and evidence
  • Represent uncertainty by specifying earliest/latest ranges for event start and end dates
  • Use Narrative View to prepare your legal argument for trial with supporting links back to the original data
  • Export images and PDFs of your timeline to present during a case


FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATION:

History is not just about events, but the people, places and ideas that connect them:
  • View how people, ideas and advances in culture and technology are connected using Relationship and Subway Views
  • Use stacked split views to compare timelines for different civilizations, innovations, or historical figures
  • Create content specific to your needs by expanding on our starting education templates
  • Represent uncertainty by specifying earliest/latest ranges for event start and end dates
  • Record dates and times down to the second, or simply record months or years
  • Print and display your timelines for classrooms. Export images/PDFs to share in presentations or articles




WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT AEON TIMELINE 3

It’s actually going to enhance your creativity, and give you more freedom.

— Case study with author David Williams.


I couldn’t even contemplate trying to plan, write and edit an intricately plotted and complex crime thriller novel without Aeon Timeline.

You can use it how you want to use it. It will revolutionize the way you plan your stories.

— Case study with author Andrew Hanson.


Aeon Timeline is my secret weapon.

That’s what makes Aeon Timeline so valuable: it is presentable while still being interactive.

I don’t need to take screenshots and make it beautiful... I can use the tool itself without scaring management out of the room.

Aeon Timeline is the only tool I can use directly, where all the interconnections and project aspects are integrated into one tool.

— Case study with project manager Michael Huettemann.
