I want to create a very nice timeline of the development of AI to insert into a Pages document. Do you know of an application that you would recommend?
I don’t have any real experience with this. Looked at v1 years ago. May be worth looking at.

Some years ago I used BeeDocs Timeline 3D. Haven’t used it in a while and it has some pretty negative reviews on the App Store.

I own Aeon Timeline and it’s a decent tool, though it does have a bit of a learning curve on terminology and how all the aspects relate.
I used it to chart my Dad’s career in the RNZAF, plotting his rank, unit, base, and aircraft type so I could visually relate those aspects.
I found the output styles to be decent, though I would have liked a little more control.
This is an in-app view. Different colours represent the different aspects I was tracking.

I use an outline format, with years being level 1, months level 2, specific days level 3.

Lucidchart is very good, but not worth buying a subscription to make one diagram.
I would use Keynote – it’s free, you have it if you have a Mac, and there are lots of short how-tos + templates for making timelines with Keynote just a Google search away. Keynote is a very proficient tool for making nicely-designed simple diagrams. You can import the result into Pages or screenshot it and paste.

I had not thought of that. I’ll do some searching and give it a try. Thanks!
If you are a google workspace user Sheets now has a timeline view.

If you want a plain text / markdown version, there’s MarkWhen
I haven’t tried it but it looks appealing, and there now seems to be a web version
I used this in the past

+1 I’ve used this heavily for programme timelines in presentations at work. It’s great.
