Plan your novel with radial timeline in obsidian
Complete author walkthrough & setup guide
Radial Timeline™ arranges your scenes by act, subplot, narrative or chronological order in a striking radial layout—revealing the structure, rhythm, and scope of your story. Each ring represents a subplot; hover interactions surface important details like scene synopsis and AI story pulses. Scenes highlight across subplots to show interrelationships. Multiple modes dissect your novel like an X-ray.
Radial Timeline™ captures and visualizes all 4 critical timelines:
- Narrative time: the sequence you reveal events to readers.
- Chronological time: when events happen in your story's world.
- Author time: your scene writing progress with target due dates tracking Todo, Working, Complete and Overdue.
- Publishing time: manuscript revision stages from Zero draft through Press-ready.
Narrative and Chronologue modes keep subplot colors front-and-center so you can compare structure without workflow noise. When you need to see Todo/Working/Overdue status or publish stage colors, jump into Publication Mode (formerly Subplot Mode) where all scenes is replaced by Main Plot and scenes inherit the author-status and publish-stage palette.
