START WITH A MOMENT

How to make your own life timeline

Create an account, set up your private age ruler, add your first moment, and organize your history and future plans across life tracks.

Create your LifeMap Explore public LifeMaps →

Private by default. Choose what to share.

From a blank page to your first moment.

You need an account to save your own timeline. You can browse public LifeMaps before creating one. Setup starts with you; you do not need to choose all your tracks or prepare your whole life story first.

  1. Create your account

    Choose Create your LifeMap and follow the sign-up flow. If you already have an account, sign in to return to it.

  2. Make the canvas yours

    Your canvas opens immediately, with two short setup steps on top. Answer a name and birthday question, and add a profile photo if you like. A birth year is enough; your timezone is detected automatically. Life tracks lets you choose the parts of life you want to show and add your own tracks.

  3. Add your first moment

    When setup finishes, one question appears beside a marker on your canvas. Answer it, choose when it happened and add a photo if you like. Your memory appears at the date you entered.

    The optional guide moves through four memories across your chosen life tracks. Skip any question or exit whenever you like. Month and day are optional, and you can resume the guide or show more memory prompts from your profile menu.

  4. Organize what happened

    Use events for points in time and periods for experiences that lasted. Add chapters to frame parts of your life, and connect related moments when you want to record a relationship. Hide tracks to simplify a view, or show them together to compare timing.

    Learn how parallel life tracks work.

  5. Make room for future plans

    Add a future plan or goal with a target date. Keep it distinct from something that has already happened, and update the target or outcome as circumstances change.

  6. Choose whether to share

    Keeping your timeline private is a complete way to use LifeMap. If you publish or create a sharing link, review which tracks, chapters, dates and photos it includes. Listing a profile in Explore does not automatically permit search indexing.

    Search permission is a separate opt-in for eligible public content. Withdrawing it affects later LifeMap responses; search engines may take time to update copies they already hold. See the Privacy Policy.

Real LifeMap interface with fictional Career, Education and Family moments on parallel dated tracks
Real LifeMap interface, fictional example. The Sample Person timeline is product demonstration data, not a customer story or testimonial. Three tracks are shown; the other tracks are hidden in this view.

A timeline you build, not a story invented for you.

Dates, descriptions and connections come from what you choose to record. Overlapping events can help you ask questions, but they do not prove that one caused another. Public examples are inspiration, not a template you have to match.

YOUR STORY, AT YOUR PACE

Start with one meaningful moment.

You do not need your whole history ready. Add the rest over time.
