Create Your First Timeline

From the Timelines page, tap the + button in the upper-right corner.

Choose a timeline type

Select the type that best fits what you would like to record, then tap Next.

Habident currently supports Cat, Dog, Human, Aquarium, Plant, and Other timelines.

Choose carefully: a timeline’s type cannot currently be changed after it has been created.

Different timeline types include different information fields and data options. See Timeline Types and Available Data to learn more.

Add your timeline information

On the Timeline Settings page, enter a title and any other details you would like to include.

The fields available will depend on the timeline type you selected. You may also log initial data, such as weight, height, measurements, or activity level, where available.

This information will appear in the Timeline Info panel and can be edited later from your timeline settings.

When you are ready, tap Next.

Add your first post

Add at least one photo or video to begin your timeline. You can also add a note and adjust the Timestamp.

After adding a photo or video, tap the small calendar icon in the lower-left corner of its thumbnail to use the date and time available from that file as the post’s Timestamp. This is especially useful when you are starting a timeline with an older photo or video.

The available time is often the original capture time, but not always. If the file was downloaded, edited, exported, re-saved, or transferred from another app or device, it may show a later file date instead. Check the Timestamp and adjust it manually when needed.

When everything is ready, tap Create.

Your new timeline will then appear on the Timelines page.
