What Timetoast has that we do not
- Its grid view lets you edit many events like a spreadsheet.
- Projects can have custom fields with dropdown options.
- Its Pro plan allows 35 users.
What TimelineTraveler does
- More events appear as you zoom in
- An event opens to show the events inside it when it is wide enough on screen, from billions of years ago down to a single minute.
- Parallel lanes
- Each lane is a row with its own name and colour on one shared time axis, so readers see what happened in each at the same moment.
- Sources on every event
- Each event can list links, titles and quotes. Events from an AI draft are marked unverified until you check them.
- Start without an account
- Open the editor and build a timeline. It is stored in your browser until you sign in.
Moving from Timetoast
Choose TimelineTraveler if you want embeds and CSV import on the free plan, thousands of events in one timeline, or a zoom from deep time down to a single minute.
To move a timeline across, export it from Timetoast as a CSV file (CSV export needs a paid Timetoast plan) and import it in the editor.
