CLUSTER CAPTURES-DOCUMENTS-PDF · 16 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2019-04-20
Mobile document scanner apps
This cluster consists of mobile scanner apps that capture documents and convert them to PDF or JPEG for saving, sharing, and organizing. Pre-index entries appear sporadically from February 2016 to March 2026, with no clear directional trend. All three tracked members show zero activity signal, meaning no traction leader emerges.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
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.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 16 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
