Track Life's Long Stories, Not Just Moments·collanon.com
collAnon is a timeline-based life journal web app that helps users visualize and remember ongoing events without daily entries. Users create categories for life areas (e.g. Work, Health, Projects), add events with color-coding, and track them on a timeline view. It works offline with local storage by default, or with online storage and auto-backup on paid plans.
