Timelines

A timeline is a named, chronological log. Each one lives in the sidebar and holds a series of entries in time order. Think of one timeline per topic: a client, a project, a person, a recurring theme.

Creating a timeline

Press New Timeline at the top of the sidebar, type a name, and it opens ready for your first entry. Every new timeline begins with a Timeline Start marker so there's always a clear beginning.

Renaming, tagging, and deleting

Each timeline has a menu in the sidebar:

  • Rename — change the name at any time.
  • Tags — add or remove tags to group and filter timelines.
  • Delete — remove the timeline and all its entries.

WARNING

Deleting a timeline removes its entries and their attachments. There's no undo — keep an export if you might want it back.

Finding the right timeline

  • Scroll the sidebar — timelines are listed there, and you can filter them by tag.
  • Search — use the search box in the header to jump to any timeline or entry by its content. See Tags & search.

How many timelines should I have?

Whatever keeps each log readable. A few rules of thumb:

  • One active concern per timeline (a deal, a project, a trip).
  • Use tags instead of splitting hairs — e.g. tag several client timelines with client rather than nesting them.
  • It's fine to have lots of small timelines; the sidebar filter and search keep them manageable.
