Transform chronological data into stunning interactive timelines with zoom, filtering, and rich media integration
The tool can create any chronological timeline including project schedules, company histories, personal life events, historical periods, product roadmaps, educational curricula, research developments, or campaign timelines. It automatically adapts to different time scales from hours to centuries.
The system uses intelligent clustering algorithms to group nearby events, creating expandable clusters when events overlap. Users can zoom in to separate clustered events or click clusters to view all events in a popup. The layout automatically adjusts vertical positioning to prevent overlap.
Yes, the timeline includes category-based filtering with color-coded checkboxes, a real-time search bar for finding specific events by keyword, and importance level filtering. You can combine multiple filters to focus on specific aspects of your timeline data.
Navigation features include drag-to-pan, scroll wheel zoom, mini-map overview, keyboard shortcuts (arrow keys for movement, +/- for zoom), play button for automated progression, adjustable playback speed, and quick jump buttons to specific time periods or milestones.
The AI intelligently extracts dates in various formats, identifies event titles and descriptions, detects categories and importance levels, recognizes duration information, and handles both BCE/CE dates. It automatically determines the optimal time scale and creates a structured timeline from unstructured text.
Events can be displayed as points for single dates, bars for durations, milestone diamonds for key moments, and cards with rich media. Each category gets a unique color, importance determines size, and special markers highlight connections between related events.
