ExplainTime EDU - Timeline

ExplainTime EDU turns dates into a story you can see. Put events on a timeline, show how far apart they really are, and present it to your class, all in a few taps. Made for students and teachers, it works for any subject that happens in time: history, science, art, literature, or your own family. BUILD YOUR TIMELINE • Add events with a date, a description, photos with captions, and links to learn more • Go back as far as you need: dates before Christ are fully supported • Show only the year, or the full date when the day matters • Turn an event into a period, like a war or an empire, and see it as a bar along the timeline • Sort events into categories such as Politics, Science & Technology or Arts & Culture, and show only the ones you need • Draw with Apple Pencil or your finger when a sketch explains it better SEE THE DISTANCE IN TIME • Switch between evenly spaced events and a timeline drawn to scale • Add year markers every 1 to 1,000 years • Zoom in and out, and jump around with the overview map • Search for any event and go straight to it • On iPhone held upright, the timeline runs from top to bottom SET THE SCENE • Choose from 19 backgrounds inspired by history, from Prehistory and Ancient Rome to the Space Age • Or describe your own with Image Playground on supported devices PRESENT AND STUDY • Present your timeline full screen, one event per slide • Test yourself with the order quiz: drag the events into the right order and see your score • Get event ideas for any topic with Apple Intelligence on supported devices, then check them and add the ones you want SHARE AND HAND IN • Export your timeline as an image or a multi-page PDF • Hand in assignments from Schoolwork, with your progress reported to your teacher • Drag events between timelines, or drop photos to start a new event • Timelines are documents you keep in Files or iCloud Drive, with thumbnails in Files and Finder ON EVERY DEVICE ExplainTime EDU runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro.
