CLUSTER DESKTOP-DUPLICATE-PHOTOS · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-07-31
Desktop duplicate photo cleaners
The cluster consists of desktop utilities for finding and removing duplicate or visually similar photos, with one also covering import and organization. Its pre-index dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only one dated entry exists—so it predates the index or its members are undated. On traction, keepframe leads with 2 stars, followed by Argos-Cleaner and videodedup with 1 star each.
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.
