Writing software with timeline generation?

I’m looking for software which would help me with a non-fiction writing project. I don’t have any experience with software designed especially for writers (Scrivener etc.) though there are many options I am familiar with which may also do some of the job (DocxManager, RightNote, UltraRecall, Hyperplan, MyInfo, Word etc.).

The software would need to be on Windows, pay once (no subscription), allow footnoting and referencing (and creation of a bibliography from those references) but also ideally be able to create a timeline. I’ve not come across writing software that can create a timeline, though I’m sure it must be around. If not, if anybody has any suggestions for a cheap and easy to use timeline creation package, I would appreciate any pointers.

Thanks in advance for any forthcoming wisdom!
