CLUSTER CROSS-DESKTOP-PASSWORDS · 11 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-11-14
Desktop password managers
This cluster contains desktop applications for storing and managing passwords, typically cross-platform with encrypted vaults. Dated entries appear sporadically from 2015 to 2026, with no clear growth pattern. Traction leaders (onekeepass-bin, passwordsecure-bin, KWalletManager) have zero stars, indicating minimal community activity.
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 11 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
