TimelineJS is an open-source tool that enables anyone to build visually rich, interactive timelines. Beginners can create a timeline using nothing more than a Google spreadsheet, like the one we used for the Timeline above. The timeline maker software that will be the best fit for you will depend on what type of timeline you need to create (for work, personal use, or education), what type of software you want (web app, Windows software, or a Mac app), your budget (prices ranging from free to thousands of dollars), and what features are important to you (for example some timeline makers support date ranges, others don't). Download Timeline 3D for macOS 10.10 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. Timeline 3D is the simplest way to create beautiful multimedia timelines. Present historical events with Timeline 3D to reveal connections and clarify relationships. Timeline 3D for Mac History with New Perspective. Present historical events with Timeline 3D to reveal connections and clarify relationships. Make timeline charts of world history, family trees, fictional stories or business deadlines. Office Timeline was created for over-worked professionals who need to deliver stunning executive presentations and project reviews quickly. It is built right into Microsoft PowerPoint so it is.
What's a good native Mac app for making timelines on Macs? I'm looking for an easy-to-use program that I can use to create timelines easily without delving into graphics programs like Illustrator. (Which I can use, but would be quite time consuming.)

OmniPlan can create very nice looking Gantt charts and timelines out of project plan data. It is a full-on project planning tool, which might be overkill. But the output is quite lovely.
Ian C.♦Ian C.Merlin is a fairly user-friendly tool for making Gantt charts. It's commercial software, so it is going to set you back. The interface is a clean 'Mac' interface.
OpenProj is another possibility, and it is free.
Bee Docs Timelines might suit your needs. The marketing is towards the 3D functionality, but I've had good results generating 2D timelines. Doesn't do Gantt charts, though.
Best Timeline Software For Mac
Lorin HochsteinLorin HochsteinI've been looking for a replacement for MS Project for a long time. I haven't found an acceptable native app on the Mac that works well enough and opens/saves Microsoft Project files. The best i've found up to now is Gantter, which is web based and integrates with Google Docs. Surprisingly good.
For serious Gantt charts, nothing beats Microsoft Project, so i often end up running that in a virtual machine (Parallels) on my Mac. Oh the pain!
Itool For Mac
Project Libre is the closest to MS Project. Actually nothing is really close to MS Project. But as a MS Project user, I find Project Libre file compatible and quick to use.
I've been using TikiToki for a while and it is good for graphical timelines. It has a Web App and desktop app. There's a trial here. And the web app is here: http://www.tiki-toki.com
Another option is http://www.scribblecode.com Aeon Timeline which I have used the demo of and found good but haven't purchased yet.
