I’ll get to them as I need them.Aeon Timeline brings Visual Timeline Software to your phone or tablet. I like timelines, and all those features will be a little like the complexity of a Scrivener compile. I think I’m willing to dive in and see how it works out. Most of that article is devoted to using what you need, and ignoring the rest. Striking a balance between power and usability is tough. This post shares some thoughts about what you observed: įrom that post, “Aeon Timeline offers a lot of flexibility, which can be great when you are knee-deep in a project and keen to untangle your latest plot hole, but not so useful when you are just starting out and a little lost about where to begin.” Lots of bells and whistles in the cockpit, but it boils down to the same thrust, drag, lift, and gravity as a little Cessna. It’s complex.Īfter a few minutes, it seems to be just stuff you can add to events as needed. I haven’t yet had time for a deep dive, and had the same first impression you got. There must be more user-friendly ways of doing that.

That appears to allow quick event entry.Įvents can be seen on a timeline, of course - or in a mind map (or ten different mind maps, as many different perspectives as you want), a narrative view which I think is something like a corkboard, or at least like the Writer’s Blocks system, and there’s a relationships view which is like swimlanes showing interconnections.ĭoes look pretty good, but having downloaded the trial version, I’m a bit underwhelmed by the sheer complexity of the details for each entry. Aeon 3 was released today, and I hope it really is what it looks like on a quick glance.
