Viewing the Timeline
See your pet's complete chronological history in one place.
The Timeline gives you a complete chronological view of your pet's journey, combining milestones, weight records, and vet visits into one easy-to-browse page.
Accessing the Timeline
To view your pet's timeline:
- Go to your pet's profile
- Click Timeline in the navigation bar
- Browse events from newest to oldest
What's Included
The Timeline combines multiple types of events:
| Event Type | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Milestones | Special moments you've recorded |
| Weight Records | Weigh-ins from the Health page |
| Vet Visits | Completed appointments |
Each event shows its date, time, and any notes or descriptions.
Filtering Events
Focus on specific event types using the filter tabs:
- All - Shows everything
- Milestones - Only milestone events
- Weight - Only weigh-in records
- Vet Visits - Only completed appointments
The count next to each filter shows how many events exist for that type.
Navigating by Date
Jump to specific time periods using the navigation:
On Desktop
A sidebar on the left shows years and months. Click any month to jump directly to events from that period.
On Mobile
Tap the calendar button (bottom right) to open a date picker. Select a month to jump to that section.
Timeline Stats
At the top, you'll see a summary showing:
- Your pet's photo
- How long you've been tracking (e.g., "2 years, 3 months of memories")
- Event counts by type
This gives you a quick snapshot of your pet's recorded history.
Event Cards
Each event appears as a card showing:
- Icon - Color-coded by event type
- Title - What happened
- Time - When it occurred
- Description - Additional details (if any)
- Type badge - The category of event
Events are grouped by date, with a sticky date header as you scroll.
Adding New Events
The Timeline displays existing data. To add new events:
| To Add | Go To |
|---|---|
| Milestones | Pet profile > Milestones section |
| Weight records | Health page > Weight Tracker |
| Vet visits | Health page > Vet Appointments |
New events appear automatically on the Timeline after you add them.
Timeline vs. Individual Trackers
Both views show similar data, but serve different purposes:
| Feature | Best For |
|---|---|
| Timeline | Chronological browsing, seeing the full picture |
| Health page trackers | Managing and adding new records |
| Profile milestones | Quick milestone management |
Use the Timeline when you want to reminisce or share your pet's story. Use individual trackers when you need to add or manage specific data.
Tips
- Scroll back in time - The Timeline starts with recent events but you can scroll to see your pet's entire history
- Use filters - If looking for something specific, filter to narrow down the events
- Quick jumps - Use year/month navigation to jump to a specific time period without endless scrolling
