Lines and structures are a language for making sense of your life — just as a blueprint is the language of an engineer, a map is the language of a geographer, a Gantt chart is the language of a manager, and a timeline is the language of a historian.
LifeLine is a free browser-based tool that generates multi-decade life timelines with a Gantt-style grid for personal events. See your entire life on paper, from birth to horizon.
SVG Renderer: Pure SVG output with decade columns, year labels, and configurable Gantt rows (10 or 14). Past years use 10mm columns, future years use 20mm for more annotation space.
Duration: Customizable hindsight (past years) and foresight (future years), from 1 to 99 years each. Desktop dials and mobile scroll-wheel pickers.
Paper Sizes: A4 multi-page and 914mm×4 roll paper (4 copies). Roll paper renders as one continuous page without breaks — ideal for large-format wall printing.
Custom Entries: Add personal events at specific years and Gantt rows. Support for yearly repeating events. Stored in browser localStorage — completely private.
Export: Download as vector SVG or PDF with embedded IBM Plex Sans fonts. Free, no login required.
i18n: Full Russian/English interface toggle. All labels, tooltips, modals, and the sticky note translate.
Touch pan and pinch-to-zoom. Bottom toolbar with past/future year counts, paper format chip, entry button, download popup (SVG/PDF), language toggle. Settings bottom sheet with side-by-side scroll-wheel pickers for hindsight/foresight (1–99 years), paper format and Gantt rows chips.
Life timelines can be printed at copy centers on engineering paper up to 1 meter wide with virtually infinite length. Ideal for life planning workshops and coaching sessions.
