About this tool
Some people process an ending by writing the story of the relationship from beginning to end. Add dated moments with a title and details, and see them collected in one place. It can help you appreciate what was good, understand what changed, and let the story take its final shape.
Tips for getting the most from it
- Add both happy and difficult moments for a fuller picture.
- Write in plain language, as you would tell a friend.
- Export the timeline if you want to keep or later delete it.
Frequently asked questions
Should I write the timeline if it hurts?
Go at your own pace. If it feels too raw, come back later. You can add just one moment at a time.
Can I edit an entry?
You can delete an entry and add it again with changes. All entries stay private in your browser.
