1. A timeline display device comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
for a plurality of applications on a client device:
store event data associated with a graphical user interface (GUI) that was previously displayed for an application performing an operation, wherein the event data comprises a start time and an end time of the operation; and
provide the event data to a timeline GUI, the timeline GUI configured to display the event data for the application;
receive a search condition that specifies an appearance configuration of the previously displayed GUIs;
determine, from the stored event data, one or more configurations of a subset of the previously displayed GUIs of the plurality of applications that match to the received search condition; and
provide data to the timeline GUI indicative of the one or more configurations that match to the search condition, wherein the timeline GUI is configured to display the one or more configurations overlaid on the stored event data for the plurality of applications along a time axis.
