CLUSTER CHAT-MESSAGING-PRIVATE · 25 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-05-02
Secure private messaging apps
This cluster covers chat applications built around private, encrypted, real-time messaging for users on web, mobile, and desktop. Dated entries span October 2019 to July 2026 and are sparse and intermittent, with most dated entries appearing after March 2025 and two-entry months in April 2025 and May 2026. Traction leaders are komai-bin, komai, and Shadow-chat, all with 0 stars, indicating a flat activity signal.
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.
