Timeliner is a Go CLI tool that archives your digital life—photos, social media posts, messages, and location history from services like Google Photos, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Google Takeout—into a single local timeline stored in SQLite. It is deprecated in favor of its successor, Timelinize, and no longer receives development.
Use cases
- back up my google photos library locally
- archive all my tweets and twitter dms
- download my facebook and instagram data into one archive
- keep a local copy of my google location history
- unify my social media posts on one timeline
- export my digital life before deleting accounts
When to choose
- you need a stable, scriptable CLI archiver for Google Photos, Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram
- you want a lightweight SQLite-based local archive without a UI
- you are maintaining an existing Timeliner setup and do not want to migrate
When to avoid
- you are starting fresh—use its successor Timelinize instead
- you need a graphical interface to browse your archive
- you rely on Twitter/X API access, which has been cut off
- you need ongoing bug fixes or new data source support
