News & Updates

And now, version 3.3!

The focus of 3.3 is on maintaining large, consistent timelines. You can now duplicate a section, including all subsections, events, and styling, and you can now more efficiently duplicate events with Option+Drag (even multi-select).

This also picks up a few bugfixes, including a recent problem reading description text in Dark Mode.

Version 3.2 is out!

You can now force all events in a section to use common colors, making it simple to create colorful, consistent timelines. TimeStory now also supports document autosaving, so you never lose your changes, and so you can view document history with macOS’s standard revision browser, and more tightly supports iCloud documents. This also contains a good batch of important bugfixes.

As always, go to the release notes for full details!

3.1.1 fixes a couple of small font-related bugs, and some stale Help content, that had made it into 3.1. Details here.

Version 3.1 is out! My favorite part of this release is a total redesign of the Welcome Window, bringing in full previews of all recents, templates, and examples. It feels more like a launchpad for work.

3.1 also adds Icon Packs. These are single files which you can download and install into TimeStory to add a whole collection if point event icons at once. There are already three packs available, based on open-source Web icons, and there will be more in the future.

Of course, there’s a good batch of smaller enhancements and bug fixes in there too. As always, there’s a detailed list on the release notes page.

TimeStory is now also on Mastodon, at https://indieapps.space/@timestory! I’ll be posting news and updates there, as well as here. If you’re on Mastodon, give it a follow!

Released version 3.0.1 last night. This adds a single fix to version 3.0, for a crashing bug found after release; sorry for the mistake!

Version 3.0 is out, and it’s the biggest single update since version 1!

Highlights include:

• Fully configurable timeline headers, including the ability to add your own custom configurations to the five built-in styles (year, quarter, month, week, and day)
• New thin-line-style span events
• Many other new styling options, along with a new default style and a better template system (but, naturally, all the old options still there, and full support for opening any old document from any prior version without messing up your design)
• Overhauled CSV import and export
• Redesigned Inspector layout

I’m excited by this version, and think it’s been worth the wait! Find many more details, along with screenshots, at the full release notes.

Version 2.8.3 is now out, with quick fixes for a couple of crashes. Find details in the release notes.

Version 2.8.2 has been released. It contains a couple of small bug fixes; the main one is that photos would sometimes appear rotated or inverted when placed in a timeline. Find the release notes here.
