Three times the credits
- Credit packs are three times bigger for the same price: 30 credits for €4.99, 100 for €9.99.
- Timelines are written about a third faster.
Free rewrites that add up
- Signed in, you get 2 free rewrites on every day you come back, and the ones you don't use carry over.
- Come back 7 days in a row for 3 bonus rewrites: your streak shows next to your credits.
- Every example is now also a page to read, era by era, in all 20 languages: see Alternate histories at the bottom of the page.
Maps that tell more
- The map now shows what happens besides wars: nuclear strikes, great fires, droughts, floods, booms and collapses, epidemics, and stranger things. Hover or tap a marker to see what it is.
- Arrows show what moves the map: invasions, migrations, trade routes and expeditions, drawn in as each era opens.
- Every example opens instantly in all 20 languages, rankings included.
Uchronia is here
- Uchronia speaks 20 languages, and each timeline is written in the language of its prompt.
- Turning points come with a front page in the medium of their year: a medieval chronicle, a 1920s newspaper, teletext, a social post… with local flavors, like Le Monde and Minitel in French or Pravda in Russian.
- Play mode: watch history unfold era by era, with the news breaking over the map.
- Each era at a glance beside the map, with the full story below.
- Keep reading while a timeline is written: the page no longer jumps to the newest era, and a mini-map follows you down.
- On phones, the year bar stays at the bottom of the screen, with buttons to step through time.
- A gallery of timelines to explore on the home page, and the example what-ifs are free.
- Sign in with Google or email for a free rewrite every day, or get credit packs.
- Tell us what you'd like next, with the feedback link at the bottom of every page.
- A craziness meter: from a historian's careful timeline (0) to aliens landing out of the blue (10).
A map you can explore
- Zoom, pan and go full screen, while the story camera glides to what changed in each era.
The first timelines
- Type a what-if and watch the world map redraw itself, era by era.
- Every era ranks the most populous states, the largest economies and the great urban areas, and marks its wars on the map.
- Click any empire or country for its encyclopedia page in that year.
- Compare with the real map of the year, and follow civilisations out into the solar system.
- Share any timeline with a link, or branch it: what if, in 1914, something else changed?
