Timelines in OmniGraffle
Earlier this week, I needed to create timeline graphics for my What's new in AppFuse 2.0 presentation. I found a Timeline script for OmniGraffle and was able to create some pretty nifty images with it. Below are the two timelines I created, one for the History of AppFuse and one for The Future.

A few years ago, Fast Co Design did a story on Pop Chart Lab’s design process. When we saw the word “OmniGraffle,” our year was made. We love their stuff. Does Omni have a template to help create a simple timeline? So we asked, and the fine folks at Pop Chart Lab. Feb 20, 2006 - Yet another script for OmniGraffle. This one generates a rough skeleton of a timeline, getting the items spaced out. Download Applescript icon.
I'll be delivering this presentation at our seminar later this afternoon. With free knowledge and a complementary happy hour afterwards, why would you miss it?
It looks like Denver weather will make it interesting for attendees to get downtown. Hopefully most folks will take the light rail in. That's my plan.
What's a good native Mac app for making timelines on Macs? I'm looking for an easy-to-use program that I can use to create timelines easily without delving into graphics programs like Illustrator. (Which I can use, but would be quite time consuming.)

OmniPlan can create very nice looking Gantt charts and timelines out of project plan data. It is a full-on project planning tool, which might be overkill. But the output is quite lovely.
Merlin is a fairly user-friendly tool for making Gantt charts. It's commercial software, so it is going to set you back. The interface is a clean 'Mac' interface.
OpenProj is another possibility, and it is free.
Bee Docs Timelines might suit your needs. The marketing is towards the 3D functionality, but I've had good results generating 2D timelines. Doesn't do Gantt charts, though.

I've been looking for a replacement for MS Project for a long time. I haven't found an acceptable native app on the Mac that works well enough and opens/saves Microsoft Project files. The best i've found up to now is Gantter, which is web based and integrates with Google Docs. Surprisingly good.
For serious Gantt charts, nothing beats Microsoft Project, so i often end up running that in a virtual machine (Parallels) on my Mac. Oh the pain!
Project Libre is the closest to MS Project. Actually nothing is really close to MS Project. But as a MS Project user, I find Project Libre file compatible and quick to use.
I've been using TikiToki for a while and it is good for graphical timelines. It has a Web App and desktop app. There's a trial here. And the web app is here: http://www.tiki-toki.com
Another option is http://www.scribblecode.com Aeon Timeline which I have used the demo of and found good but haven't purchased yet.
