Two sides of every memory

A photo without feeling is a catalog. A journal without memory floats untethered.

Every memory has two sides — what happened, and what it meant. Most apps capture one. TimeLine captures both, woven together on a single unbroken line.

Moments

Photo, place, mood, weather. I was here.

Diary

Thought, reflection, feeling. This is what it meant.

Calm by design

Scrolling through TimeLine should feel like flipping through a journal on a quiet afternoon.

Most apps are designed to keep you anxious — feeds that never end, likes to chase, notifications that interrupt. TimeLine is designed to do the opposite.

The UI steps back and lets your memories speak. Section headers orient you in time. The continuous vertical line connects every entry into one unbroken story of your life.

Pro feature

On This Day — a quiet prompt to look back.

On any given day, TimeLine quietly surfaces what you recorded on that same date in past years. Not a push notification. Not a pop-up. Just a gentle reminder that your life has been accumulating — and that it is worth revisiting.

On This Month broadens the view — a full month of memories from years past, resurfaced without any noise.

Private by architecture

Not a privacy policy. An architecture decision.

TimeLine cannot leak your data because it never receives it. Every entry, every photo, every thought lives in a database on your device — not ours.

Backup is optional and goes to a Google Drive account you already own and control. No proprietary cloud. No vendor lock-in. No corporate servers holding your most personal memories.

Backup & Sync

Your backup. Your cloud. Your rules.

When you choose to back up, your memories go to a Google Drive or Dropbox account you already own and control. We never see it, never touch it, never have access to it. If you delete TimeLine tomorrow, your backup stays exactly where you put it.

Sync is delta-only — only changed items are transferred each time, keeping backups fast and data-efficient. Wi-Fi only mode available.

Google Drive

Free for all users — including the free tier.

Dropbox

Available on Pro. Same privacy guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

About TimeLine

What makes TimeLine different from other diary or photo apps?

No other app unifies visual Moments and written Diary on one timeline. Photos without feelings are a catalog. Journal entries without memory anchors float untethered. TimeLine puts both together — the way the mind actually remembers.

Is TimeLine a social app?

No. There is no sharing, no likes, no followers, no feed. Everything you record is for you alone.

What is "On This Day"?

On any given day, TimeLine quietly surfaces what you recorded on the same date in past years. It is not a notification. It is a gentle prompt to look back and feel how life has been accumulating.

Privacy & Data

Where is my data stored?

Everything stays on your device. TimeLine is local-first — your memories live in a database on your phone, not on any server we control.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required. You can optionally connect Google Drive or Dropbox for backup, but that is your cloud storage — we never have access to it.

Does TimeLine collect my personal data?

No. We do not have servers that store your journal entries, photos, or any personal content. What you write and photograph stays on your device and, if you choose, in your own cloud storage.

Can TimeLine employees read my diary entries?

No. Your entries are stored locally on your device. We have no access to them — not technically possible, and not something we would want.

Backup & Sync

Is cloud backup free?

Yes. Google Drive and Dropbox backup are free for all users — including the free tier. Backup is not a Pro-only feature. Your memories should never be held hostage.

What backup options are available?

TimeLine supports Google Drive and Dropbox. Both are optional. You choose one during onboarding and can configure it at any time in Sync settings. Only changed items are transferred each time (delta sync), keeping backups fast and data-efficient.

Does TimeLine work across multiple devices?

Yes. Install TimeLine on any Android device, connect the same Google Drive or Dropbox account, and choose Restore in the Sync screen. Your full timeline — entries, photos, audio, and tags — will be available on that device.

I changed phones. How do I restore my data?

Install TimeLine on your new phone, connect the same Google Drive or Dropbox account you used on your old phone, and choose Restore in the Sync screen. Your full timeline — entries, photos, audio, and tags — will be restored from your backup.

Free Plan & Pricing

What can I do on the free plan?

All core features — Moments, Diary, timeline, search, tags, mood tracking, cloud backup, and app protection — are available on the free plan during your trial. There is no feature locked behind Pro during the trial period.

When do free plan restrictions start?

Restrictions only activate when both of the following are true at the same time: more than 60 days have passed since your first entry, and you have more than 50 total entries. If you use TimeLine occasionally, you may never reach this threshold.

What are the Pro pricing options?

Monthly at $2.99/month, Annual at $19.99/year (saves over 40% compared to monthly), or Lifetime at $59.99 as a one-time payment with all future updates included.
