CLUSTER CONVERTS-FILE-MACOS · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-04

Local-first macOS file converters

This cluster consists of local-first file conversion tools, primarily for macOS, that transform files on-device without uploading to external servers. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from—only 0 dated entries exist, so the cluster predates the index or its members are undated. Among the members, groundcat-format leads in activity signal with 16 stars, followed by vConvert and Arcora with 2 stars each.

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 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
