TL;DR: Timeline is not a standalone project view. It is the horizontal scrolling time-axis component inside the Gantt Chart view, which sits under More Views and needs a paid plan. Taskade has 9 project views in total.
Here is how your tasks become bars on the timeline inside the Gantt view.
Timeline in the Gantt View
The timeline is the horizontal scrolling area inside the Gantt Chart view where tasks are displayed as bars along a time axis. It is not a separate project view. It is a core component of the Gantt view.
To use the timeline:
- Open any project
- Open More Views in the toolbar and pick Gantt Chart
- Use the timeline, the right-hand panel showing tasks on a time axis
Timeline Features (Inside Gantt)
- Time Scale Selector: switch between daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly scales in the top-right corner
- Scroll the timeline: swipe with two fingers on your trackpad or click-and-drag with the mouse
- Seeker Arrows: jump to the next set of tasks on the timeline edges
- Set task duration: click the empty space on the timeline at the task's height level
- Adjust duration: hover over the edges of a task bar and drag to extend or shorten
- Reposition tasks: click and hold the center of a task bar, then drag left or right
- Pinch to zoom: zoom in for task-level detail or out for the full project overview
Timeline Is Not a Separate View
Taskade provides 9 project views: List, Board, Table, and Mind Map as toolbar tabs, plus Docs (Beta), Gantt Chart, Calendar, Actionsheet, and Org Chart under More Views. The timeline functionality, horizontal scheduling of tasks across a time axis, lives entirely within the Gantt Chart view. If you need a simple date-based visualization without dependencies, the Calendar view is the best alternative.
