WHAT'S INSIDE

Interactive Globe
A view of the world before the Flood, then historical borders from the Flood to today. Watch borders shift as you move through time, or press play and let the centuries roll by. Tap a region to see who held it, with write-ups on the major empires, kingdoms and peoples. U.S. states show when they joined and how the land was acquired.

Timeline
More than 6,000 years on one scrollable canvas, from Creation to today, with major nations and empires side by side. See at a glance which powers were rising while others were falling, and pinch to zoom in on any era.

Events and People
More than 1,700 events: Biblical events, battles, the founding of nations, voyages, inventions and turning points. Search by name, filter by category, and tap any one to read the story. More than 100 people have profiles of their own: who they were, why they are famous, the impact they had and how they died.

Study Playground
Pick the people, places and events you are studying and get a ready-made study prompt for ChatGPT or Claude. One-tap presets cover Biblical events, the Story of Jesus, Ancient Rome, the Founding of America, the Reformation, both World Wars and more.

Works offline
The globe, the maps and all the history ship inside the app. No account, no login and no signal needed.

BUILT FOR HOMESCHOOL

World Timeline gives kids the big-picture view a textbook chapter cannot: how the stories, civilizations and events of the past line up on one map and one timeline. It works alongside whatever history curriculum you use.

The chronology is anchored to the Septuagint, placing Creation at 5554 BC and the Flood at 3298 BC. History is presented in an atlas-style voice and, where it is relevant, from a Biblical perspective, so families can use the lens that fits their studies.

The app keeps growing. New events, people and map corrections arrive regularly, most of them without a store update.

FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE

World Timeline is free to download, and the timeline, events and study tools are never interrupted. After you have explored the globe for a while, a pop-up now and then offers a one-time purchase that removes it for good, or a short optional video to keep going free. There is no subscription.

A NOTE ON ACCURACY

History is big and the record is imperfect. Borders start from a public research dataset that maps political control at snapshot years, corrected by hand in hundreds of places; between snapshots the app shows the most recent map. Outlines known to be rough are drawn dashed and marked approximate.

Dates and details are simplified for clarity, and reasonable sources disagree. Use World Timeline as a learning companion and a starting point for deeper study. If you spot something wrong, the feedback form on the About tab reaches me directly, and I read every message.
