About Timetoast
Timetoast is a powerful and adaptable timeline maker to create, share, and present interactive timelines in a clear, visual format. It's used by millions of professionals and educators worldwide to bring projects and stories to life.
Our Story
Timetoast launched publicly in April 2008 and quickly became a trusted resource for educators, creative storytellers and professionals looking for a way to visualize events over time. From the start, our clean and intuitive interface made it easy for anyone to build a beautiful, shareable timeline in just a few minutes.
Timetoast has been featured by The New York Times, PC Magazine, Mashable, Adobe, Lifehacker, and 37signals. These mentions reflect both our momentum and our commitment to making timelines accessible to everyone.
Today, millions of timelines have been created by people of all backgrounds and experience levels. We now offer advanced options like custom fields, fine-grained role-based permissions, strong privacy controls, timeline templates, BCE date support, multiple timeline views, and team collaboration. Despite these additions, we strive to keep the experience friendly, approachable and most of all easy to use.
In November 2025 we launched a completely rebuilt timeline tool that gives users more flexibility and control over how they create and share timelines. Timetoast has evolved from a simple timeline tool into a powerful and adaptable timeline maker that can handle all types of projects; a result of years of listening to user feedback and understanding how people want to tell their stories.
Whether you are planning your next product release, or documenting a personal story, Timetoast is here to help.
About Us
Timetoast was founded by Daniel Todd who launched the product in 2008 after identifying a need for a simple, visual way to communicate time-based information online.
Daniel studied business management in the Netherlands and began building web applications in the early 2000s. Earlier in his career, he worked on digital products and campaigns for large organisations, including Procter & Gamble, the World Economic Forum, Ford, and L’Oréal. In a technical lead role, he led development teams on award-recognised projects, including work that received honours at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
Based in the UK, Daniel continues to lead Timetoast as a founder-led SaaS product, overseeing product design, engineering, and long-term direction. He remains closely involved in day-to-day development, guiding the platform from its original timeline editor to newer features such as collaborative editing, custom fields, multiple timeline views, and privacy controls. Timetoast has since been used extensively across professional, education, and research use cases.
