Chronicon (Χρονικόν) is an illustrated history app that lets you move through the past one year at a time — a record kept in the order things happened.

It gathers 108 chronicles across 12 regions — roughly 1,850 curated events from the Bronze Age to the twentieth century — and presents each as an interactive, year-by-year timeline you scrub through with your thumb.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Scrub the timeline — drag or tap across the years of any period. Events sit on a true chronological scale, and long empty stretches are neatly collapsed so a whole millennium stays readable.
• Rich event cards — each with a category (political, military, religious, cultural), a title, a description, an expandable “Read more”, and a credited historical image.
• Explore by region — every civilisation is a shelf of chronicle cards, each themed in its own palette: Byzantine gold, imperial crimson, Aegean azure and more.
• “Meanwhile” — for any year you land on, see what was happening elsewhere in the world at the same moment, and jump straight there.
• Search everything — full-text search across every event, with region and category filters, linking to the exact period and year.
• “This Month in History” — a rotating look at events from the current month across the centuries.
• Saved — keep the moments you want to return to.

BILINGUAL BY DESIGN
Chronicon is fully bilingual, English and Greek, written in parallel rather than machine-translated. Your language choice is remembered on your device.

MADE WITH CARE
Dates and events follow the consensus you’d find in a good encyclopaedia or historical survey; images come from Wikimedia Commons and are credited on every card. It’s a personal project, built for the love of history — and corrections are always welcome.
