How does it work?

This tool operates entirely client-side. All your event data is stored locally within your web browser's storage (localStorage) on your device. Your information is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

• Add Events: Easily add new events with a date, title, and optional description.
• List View: See all your events organized in a simple, scrollable list.
• Timeline View: Generate a visual timeline where events are positioned chronologically along a central line, alternating left and right for clarity. This makes it an effective Visual History Creator.
• Sorting: Sort your events by date in either ascending (oldest first) or descending (newest first) order.
• Local Storage: Your events are saved directly in your browser on your device. This means they are accessible even if you close and reopen the browser, but they will not be synchronized across different devices.
• Import/Export: For backup and transfer purposes, you can export all your events to a JSON file. This file can then be imported back into the tool on the same or a different device, providing a way to preserve your data.
• Download Timeline Image: Once the timeline is generated, you can download it as a PNG image for sharing or record-keeping.
• Free & Accessible: Use the tool directly from your web browser without any cost or installation, a truly free Event Management Tool.

Why use this tool?

The Event History Timeline (also known as a Life Event Tracker, Milestone Tracker, or Personal History Organizer) is an excellent solution for anyone looking to document and understand their past:

• Personal Journaling: Create a chronological record of significant life events.
• Project Management History: Track key milestones and progress for personal or small projects.
• Family Tree Events: Document important dates and events for family history.
• Historical Record Keeping: Maintain a simple, visual log of any series of events.
• Data Security: Your data remains on your device, giving you full control and peace of mind.

It's a versatile and free Memory Keeper and Chronology Maker to help you visualize your past.

Important Note on Data Storage:

Since your data is stored locally in your browser on your device, it is tied to that specific browser installation on that specific device. If you clear your browser's cache, cookies, or local storage, your events will be permanently deleted. It is highly recommended to regularly use the "Export Events" feature to create backups of your data.
