CLUSTER DATA-DESKTOP-DOCUMENTS · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-04

Local data anonymization for AI

This cluster consists of desktop applications that pseudonymize or anonymize personal data locally before sending content to AI services, with the ability to restore original values afterward. Examples target specific geographies (Chinese, Italian) or document formats (Excel, CSV, PDFs, images, audio). The dated history is too thin to read a shape from — it predates the index or its members are undated. The traction leader is anonimizador (3 stars), followed by veilmark (1 star) and simpler-legal (0 stars).

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.
