How it works

1

Add entries

Enter facts — people, events, periods — with dates going back to the earliest BCE. Upload a CSV or spreadsheet if you have a lot.

2

Tag everything

Assign tags by geography, discipline, era, or any grouping you invent. Tags are what build your timeline lanes.

3

Build a board

Choose a mix of tags for each lane, pick a colour, and stack them. Drag lanes to reorder, zoom, scroll, and explore.

What you can do

BCE to present

Dates span from ancient history into the modern era. Enter year, month, and day — or just the year.

Stacked lanes

Layer multiple timelines on the same board to see what Greek philosophers, Roman emperors, and Renaissance artists have in common.

Drag to reorder

Rearrange lanes with a drag handle. Your preferred order is saved and shared with anyone viewing the board.

CSV import

Already have data in a spreadsheet? Upload a CSV or Excel file and Symeon maps it to entries and tags automatically.

Public & private

Keep your research private, share selected entries with collaborators, or open a board to the world.
