New version 1.0 → 1.2.0

In this version I mainly worked on importing your own collections. Importing is simpler There are now three ways into a collection of your own: add the entries yourself in the app, bring them in from a file, or paste a copied table straight in as text. So no file is needed at all. A free sample collection: Ancient Rome Ancient Rome comes with the app as a sample collection, no Pro needed. It shows you how an import works, and the collection stays with you afterwards. Tap a collection, the timeline follows Tap a collection in the list and the timeline jumps straight to its period. Save the focus view to Photos The focus view can now be saved directly to Photos, in different image formats if you like. New premium pack: Cities of the World 181 cities across six continents, from 9000 BC to today. Plus many small improvements. You can swipe an entry sideways in the list to edit, copy or delete it, and scrolling and zooming the timeline should feel smoother.

About

Who lived at the same time as Mozart, Van Gogh, or Napoleon? Parallel lays out several timelines at once, and the connections that usually stay hidden appear at a glance. It's your tool for assembling history around what interests you. Nine curated collections come built in, from the arts and sciences to rulers, empires, buildings, and the events that shaped history. They make it easy to start and give you a taste of what Parallel can do. The rest is yours to shape. For the curious, for the classroom, for everyone who loves history. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Swipe and zoom through the millennia, from antiquity to today. • Line up exactly the collections that fascinate you. • Highlight a person and see their contemporaries at a glance, while everything else fades into the background. • Open any entry for a clear, concise biography or summary, with a link to Wikipedia. • Follow a single thread through time, filtered by topic, place, era, and more. • Create your own collections and fill them with what matters to you. Every built-in entry is carefully researched, historically grounded, and fact-checked. Try it for free Ancient Rome is included as a ready-made sample collection, no Pro needed. In a few seconds you see how a collection comes together, and it stays with you afterwards. Buy once, no subscription. You buy Parallel just once. The Pro upgrade lifts every limit: unlimited collections and entries, creating and filling your own collections from a spreadsheet or from copied text, and exporting the whole timeline as a PDF. No hidden costs. If you want to go deeper into specific topics, optional premium collections are available. Private and offline Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. The app works offline. History belongs to everyone, but your data belongs to you.
