I believe that Aeon Timeline would fit the bill:
https://www.aeontimeline.com/

It is a versatile stand-alone programme offering several powerful timeline formats.

It is pay-once software, available for Windows, macOS and iOS.

While stand-alone, it can also be integrated with Scrivener and Ulysses.

Last but not least, Aeon recently launched a so-called Narrative view which complements the timeline; I’m still checking it out, but it seems quite powerful:
