Timeline browsing
View events and person locations by year, date, or hour, and jump to real moments in the data.
Read time on a map.
ChronosMap is a time map app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It brings people, events, places, photos, and routes into one map and timeline, helping you understand stories through both space and time.
Designed for history, people, and personal journeys.
Open sample maps, import map packages, edit your own maps, and explore data with timelines, geo lenses, and density layers.
Geo lens
Select an area on the map and see the events and trajectory points that happened there.
Map editing
Create your own maps with people, events, trajectory points, images, and ChronosMap files.
Build personal routes from photos
Import travel or everyday photos and ChronosMap can read their capture time and location to create personal trajectory points.
Explore the same time map on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
From photo-based travel routes on your phone to broader map browsing and editing on iPad and Mac, ChronosMap keeps one consistent time-map experience across screens.
Turn your photo library into a travel map.
Choose photos with location metadata, and ChronosMap creates trajectory points from their real coordinates and capture times. Each photo becomes a memory node for trips, city walks, field work, or personal timelines.
- Uses the actual location recorded in each photo and does not merge photos with different coordinates.
- Photos become part of the trajectory point content, so you can open richer image and text records later.
- Your photo data is chosen and saved by you, making it suitable for private travel maps or shareable story maps.
A built-in sample map.
The app includes a Tang Dynasty of China sample map that shows how people, events, and routes can be organized around time and place. You can also start from a blank map.
- Supports sample maps and user-created maps.
- Open from files, save as, import source data, and export source data.
- Map data stays local and is managed and shared by you.
