Gallifreyan technology included time travel devices (such as the TARDIS), as well as other significant inventions.
History
Abandoned technologies
Gallifreyans experimented with tachyonics before abandoning that field in favour of warp matrix engineering. (TV: The Leisure Hive) Time Lords also experimented with hyperspace, but finally abandoned it as a theoretical absurdity two thousand years before the Doctor's time (TV: The Stones of Blood)
- This information about hyperspace conflicts with several known examples of other species successfully using hyperspace technology (e.g. humans (TV: Frontier in Space)), suggesting either that there is more than one meaning of the term "hyperspace", or that the Time Lords were less knowledgeable in this field than they thought they were - or that they found better ways of doing the things that they might have done with hyperspace.

Dimensional Transcendentalism
The Time Lords had the ability to make objects that were bigger on the inside than on the outside. This technology was used for TARDISes and for some Time Lord prisons.
