Timelines

Questions and answers.

The ones that come up before the first event and after the first full year.

Is it free?

On the device, entirely and without limits. A free account syncs up to 25 events a year; Backup, at €15 a year, syncs up to 1,000.

Is it a medical app?

No. It records what you write and shows it on a calendar. It does not interpret, alert or advise, and it is not a substitute for your clinician's records.

Can I share a timeline with my doctor or a carer?

Not from the app: Timelines has one reader by design. Show the year on your phone at the visit, or export the JSON if you want to hand a copy to someone.

Does it work offline?

Entirely. It is a web app that installs from the browser and stores everything locally. Sync, when an event has it on, needs a connection at the moment you save.

Can an event span more than one year?

Yes. The bar runs off the edge of one year and continues on the next.

Can I change the emoji or colour later?

Yes, at any time. Colour is a hue on a slider; the last ten picks are kept for quick reuse.

What happens when I log out?

Every local timeline on that browser is removed. Synced events stay on the server and come back when you sign in again. Download a backup before logging out on a device you will not use again.

Which languages does the app speak?

Twenty-four interface languages, including English and Italian. The site you are reading is in two.
