CLUSTER AUTHENTICATION-CHAT-MESSAGING · 60 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-11-25

Authenticated real-time chat apps

This cluster comprises 57 real-time chat and messaging applications that share core features: user authentication (username, email, Google, Apple, phone, or token-based), one-to-one and group conversations, and persistent or temporary message history. The dated entry history before the index start shows a steady monthly trickle of 1 to 4 entries from January 2025 through July 2026 (32 total), with no strong upward or downward trend. Traction leadership is held by FelFelChat with 12 stars, followed by keichat.wpf (2 stars) and the-chat-app (1 star).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
