Timesketch is a collaborative forensic timeline analysis platform used to investigate security incidents by turning diverse evidence into a single, searchable chronology. Analysts ingest logs and artifacts from many sources—endpoints, servers, cloud services—and Timesketch normalizes them into events on a unified timeline. Powerful search, aggregations, and saved views help you pivot quickly, highlight anomalies, and preserve investigative steps for later review. The system supports tagging, sketch notes, and story building so teams can annotate findings and share context without losing the raw data trail. Integrations with popular DFIR pipelines make ingestion repeatable, while role-based access and audit logs support enterprise workflows. By combining scale, collaboration, and reproducibility, Timesketch moves incident response beyond ad-hoc spreadsheets to a durable, team-oriented investigation record.
