Chinese input method tools

This cluster covers Chinese input method editors (IMEs) and typing aids, spanning Windows-native, AI-assisted, and online tools. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, with only 2 dated entries before the index start. Among members, retype leads on traction with 2 stars, followed by yiju-ime and tekito with 1 star each.

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.
