See how every event fits together

OENT's timeline turns story events into a wider view of the project. Use it to understand chronology, compare parallel threads, and catch structural problems without disconnecting the plan from the writing.

Arrange the order behind the story

Place and move events until the chronology makes sense. The timeline can hold the order events happen even when the manuscript reveals them differently.

Follow more than one thread

Use the timeline to compare plotlines, characters, locations, or periods that overlap. Custom attributes help surface the distinctions that matter to your project.

Return to the scene

Timeline events remain part of the same connected project as document events, so the wider chronological view always leads back to the material you are drafting.

Can I use the timeline for parallel plotlines?

Yes. Events and their custom attributes can help you compare parallel threads within the same project timeline.

Are timeline events separate from document events?

No. The same event can be used across the project, keeping planning and drafting connected.
