Everything you need to know about Timeline42, the revolutionary Canvas view, and powerful project management features
Timeline42 is a free project management tool featuring 8 distinct views including the breakthrough Canvas view - an infinite workspace where you can drag, resize, and position tasks anywhere. It includes 4 timeline views (Day, Week, Month, Year), Calendar, Kanban Board, List, and Canvas views to help you visualize and manage projects with complete flexibility.
Yes! Timeline42's core features are completely free with no account required. All 8 views, task management, project creation, and local storage are free forever. We're building a Pro version with team collaboration, cloud sync, and advanced features, but the powerful free version will always remain available.
No account required for the free version! Timeline42 works entirely in your browser using local storage. Your projects stay private on your device. When our Pro version launches, accounts will enable cloud sync, team collaboration, and advanced features across devices.
Yes, you can assign tasks to different team members using the assignee field and filter tasks by assignee. However, Timeline42 currently focuses on individual productivity - full team collaboration features like real-time sync, team management, and multi-user editing will be available in the upcoming Pro version.
Absolutely. In the free version, all data is stored locally in your browser - nothing is sent to servers. For the upcoming Pro version, we'll use enterprise-grade security with encrypted cloud storage, but you'll always have full control over your data with export options.
The Canvas view is Timeline42's breakthrough feature - an infinite workspace where you can drag tasks anywhere, resize them with corner handles, zoom in/out, and pan around. Unlike traditional rigid layouts, Canvas lets you organize projects spatially and visually, like having a giant digital whiteboard for your tasks.
Timeline42 includes 8 powerful views: 4 Timeline views (Day, Week, Month, Year) with 12-column grids, Calendar view with spanning task bars, Kanban Board with drag-and-drop status columns, List view with sorting and filtering, and the revolutionary Canvas view for spatial thinking.
Timeline42 works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. It's responsive and works on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. For the best experience with Canvas view and complex project management, we recommend desktop or laptop computers.
Timeline42 works perfectly in mobile browsers - no app download needed! While all features work on mobile, the Canvas view and detailed timeline views are optimized for larger screens. You can manage tasks on mobile and do spatial planning on desktop.
Yes! Your data is automatically saved in your browser's local storage. For backups, you can export projects as files. The upcoming Pro version will include automatic cloud backup, sync across devices, and team sharing capabilities.
Timeline42 Pro will add team collaboration with real-time sync, cloud storage across devices, advanced project templates, team member management, detailed analytics, custom integrations, and priority support. Note: These features are not yet available - the current version focuses on individual productivity with assignee tracking. The free version will always remain powerful and available.
