Timeliner is a personal data aggregation utility that collects digital activity from multiple sources and stores it locally on the user’s own computer. Its original purpose was to help preserve personal and family history by bringing scattered online records into one searchable timeline. The project can import different kinds of personal data, index them, and present them as a unified chronological archive. It is designed around data ownership, long-term preservation, and the idea that people should be able to keep meaningful records outside closed platforms. The repository is now deprecated in favor of its successor, Timelinize, so it should be viewed as an older implementation rather than the current recommended tool. Even so, it remains a useful reference for local-first personal archiving and timeline-based data organization.
