How it works

TIMELINE builds a chronology of events for a case, an investigation or a dispute. Each entry has a date, a neutral description and the source it comes from, and says whether it rests on a document, on what someone said, or on inference. Entries without a time are kept in order, and gaps are marked. Export it for a report or a court bundle. The chronology is kept in this browser.

Doing this often? OBSCURA Case builds the chronology from the documents themselves, each event pinned to its source. Everything is US$9 a month or US$79 a year, 7 days free.
