The Radial Timeline plugin visualises a manuscript as a circular timeline, arranging scenes by act, subplot, and order so you can scan the whole story at once. It supports any plot system via YAML, shows rich details on hover (title, date, synopsis, subplot, character, overdue and revision lines), and opens the scene or plot note on click. Status colours make progress obvious, and a completion date is estimated from remaining work and recent pace. Switch between an all-scenes view and a main-plot mode that emphasises publishing stages. Zero-draft mode helps avoid premature editing by capturing pending edits in a dialog instead of opening the note. A fast search overlays results, subplot rings are labeled, and the layout rotates counter-clockwise to align act 2 beneath act 1 for readability.
