It supports single events as well as spans of time. Events or Spans (Items) have different metadata such as Location, Description, Web Link and Priority associated with them.

When the program is started, it shows a new, blank timeline.

Events and spans can be added by using the right click menu, the menu bar, or the hot keys.

Single Event

A Single Event

Selected Items are red (by default), and a box in the lower right corner shows info about the Item.

When there are too many items on screen, low priority items can either be manually hidden using the priority slider, or the tag box can be used to show only items with a certain tag(s).

Spans and Events

Basic Timeline with Spans and Events

Timelines can either be saved as .timeline files, which only work with this software, or exported as plain text or XML.
