Many thanks in advance!

To be honest I use a self made ppt template for presenting the findings of event investigations.
If someone has gone to the trouble of making a specific tool I wouldn't begrudge them selling it, but if you can shape your own to fit how you ultimately file and share the pertinent points then I think you'll get something from the process as well as the end product.

We have a couple that are in use across operations workldwide...main one is Office Timeline...there is a paid and free version...some of our sites use google sheets project planning..

https://online.officetimeline.com/app/#/new-from-template?searchText=

and for Medcial Investigations we have Timeline Pro which is a paid version..

https://www.timelinemaker.com/

There may also be a way to adapt this computer forensics tool to provide the same thing as it has an automatic timeline tool in it...I will have a play as it isn't as easy as it looks and built specifically for computer forensics s and let you know if it is a practical solution... :)

FreeMind like Mind Genius but free

Also loads of Open Source PM tools but they might be more indepth than needed

For simple investigations you could use powerpoint to draw the TapRooT snapchart, otherwise i'd recommend to use MS-Visio.   The official taproot software integrates well with the methodology but is really clunky.
