Timeline

Branching timelines, event tracking, and scene linking to keep your chronology airtight.

Creating a Timeline

Every project starts with a "Main Timeline." You can create additional timelines for parallel storylines, alternate histories, or flashback sequences.

Events

Add events to a timeline to mark significant moments in your story. Events have a name and can be linked to scenes, so you know exactly when each scene takes place in your story's chronology.

Scene-Event Linking

Link scenes to events with a position: before, during, or after the event. This builds a precise map of your story's sequence.

Branching

Branch from any event to create a diverging timeline. This is useful for:

• Alternate timeline storylines (time travel, "what if" scenarios)
• Parallel POV timelines that converge later
• Exploring different narrative possibilities

Linked Events

Events can be linked across timelines — if two characters experience the same moment from different perspectives (e.g. a war in both the baseline universe and the mirror universe), you can right-click an event and choose Link to event… to connect them. Linked events display a chain icon and a dotted connector line between them. When a scene linked to one of these events is selected, all connected events glow together.

Timeline Knowledge

Knowledge entries on characters and locations can be linked to timeline events, creating a record of what's known at each point in the story. The AI uses this to give you timeline-aware answers.
