Sneak Peak: What we're working on in Q1 2025

It would be useful if AT could export to markdown, as suggested, and optionally append YAML metadata at the top of the .md file, where the metadata would be equal to the metadata that’s currently synced with Scrivener and Ulysses.

The end of March has definitely arrived now! but we’re still at least 2-3 weeks away from being ready to launch the 3.5 beta.

We don’t have any extra info to share just yet, but we’ll post an update in the beta forum when we’re getting closer to being ready.

Nooooo!

Though, with that, let me assure you that my impatience stems from truly loving Aeon Timeline. This might be the first time I’ve been hyped about an update to a program so I’m excited. It’ll be out when it’s ready, thank you for keeping us informed.

Looking forward to it!

Just please let it remain AI free and local first. Yeah, I’m a stick-in-the-mud, I know.

It Depends, I think a configurable option to turn it off or hide it maybe better for those who do not want it or additional privacyy. There are some use cases esp. for research where AI comes in handy. Just helps to not copy-paste and go to another external program to use it

Looking forward to the release… I understand there are multiple features and it would be a big drop and so the release schedule is longer. There is an opportunity though, I guess for more frequent releases going forwards with lesser features. This would also give you a chance to release often and get early user feedback

I created an account here just so I can say I strongly agree with this.

I’m currently trialing AT (it’s fantastic!) and one of the first things I checked was this forum to see how active and transparent the devs are because I don’t want to buy a product that’s at risk of becoming abandonware.

Seeing this post of the devs communicating their plans for this year is a very positive sign, though I do wish AT had a more robust system where the devs track feature request, show what’s in the works, and communicate with the community.

Hi @Faustyna and all,

Thank you for your continued patience and support — it really means a lot to us.

Version 3.5 is still very much in active development. While we don’t have a confirmed beta date just yet, we’re getting close.

This is a substantial update with some major changes under the hood, which has taken longer than we originally hoped. Some personal challenges within the team have also caused delays. We’re a small team, so those things can have a big impact — but we’re making steady progress.

That said, we’re truly excited about the new features, and we’re really looking forward to seeing it out in the world and hearing what you think.

I can share one small extra preview: while improving the timeline drag preview, we extended those changes to other views as well. In 3.5, when you change an item’s date, you’ll see a preview of any other events that will also move due to nesting or dependencies. It’s a small detail, but one that we hope makes it much easier to see exactly what’s being affected as you make changes.

Thanks again for bearing with us. We’re doing everything we can to get 3.5 into your hands as soon as possible.

Thanks for the update and looking forward to the update!

I can see this being extremely useful for those who use Aeon Timeline for planning out project timelines. Great stuff!
