Despite the fact that I should be working, I couldn't help myself, I've taken a quick squiz at Aeon Timeline. (Note that I am speaking of Windows versions, I don't have a Mac.) My first impressions include:
It appears to be strongly influenced by Scrivener - which is a good thing, both are high quality products in software development and user interface terms.
I'd say it's still fairly early days. It does have a lot of functionality and is quite flexible, but has further to go before it is really smooth for its purpose and its integration features.
I'm used to working vertically in my timeline - after years of using tables where I have the date/time in the first column and my notes in the next I find that is a very flexible layout to do the actual work. Not being constrained to show the entire view at the same scale allows me to see how events flow. That is to say: I'd really like both views. (It is sort of possible to get the vertical view I want from Scrivener, so maybe between the two of them I can have it all.)
I'll play some more ... as I said above, I'm impressed with the quality.
