Put births, moves, houses and old photos on one dated family timeline, see every move on a map, and invite relatives to add what they remember.
A family tree tells you who. A timeline tells you when, and that is where the stories are: who left in which year, and which two relatives were alive at the same time and never met. Boromlia puts the names, dates, places and photographs on one line.
What you get
Births, marriages, moves and jobs as dated events, with ranges for the years someone lived somewhere.
Scanned or phone photos dated and placed from the files themselves.
Every move drawn on a map, in order.
A source on each fact, for the certificate, census entry or archive reference.
Relatives who add their own memories to the same timeline, on Advanced.
From a shoebox to a timeline
Upload a folder of scans or phone photos and Boromlia reads the date and location from the files, grouping them into events you name. iPhone HEIC files are converted on the way in. Photos with no date go in too, and you set it yourself.
"Lived in Lviv, 1946 to 1961" is one event with a start and an end, not a guess at a single day. The place is a real coordinate, so the map draws the family’s route instead of listing towns.
AI does not know your family. Your relatives do.
An assistant can tell you what life in 1950s Lviv was like. It cannot tell you which house your grandmother lived in, because that was never written anywhere it could read. Family history lives in documents, photos and the memories of a few people, and those people will not be around forever.
A timeline is where that knowledge goes before it is lost: dated, attached to the photo it belongs to, with a note of who remembered it. It stays private until you choose otherwise, and it exports as a PDF, a CSV and a zip of every photo.
Views worth leaving open
River: A generation reads as a line, with the photographs either side of it.
Map: Every move, in order, on one route, which is the shape a family history usually has.
Cards: A decade at a glance, when you are still filling in the gaps.
Questions
Does it import a GEDCOM file?
No. Boromlia records dated events, not a tree of relationships, so there is no GEDCOM import and no relationship model. What it does read, on Advanced, is a CSV or TSV of events with the columns matched to fields by hand.
Can I keep a source for each fact?
Yes. Every event has its own source field for a certificate reference, an archive fonds or a link, and "has a source" is one of the filters.
What happens to the photographs?
They stay with the events and come back out again: the photo export writes a zip of every image, numbered in timeline order, with a manifest saying which event each one belongs to.
