CLUSTER DESKTOP-NOTES-WIDGET · 26 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-13

Desktop notes and widget apps

The cluster consists of desktop widget applications that display notes, to-do lists, calendars, and reminders as floating widgets for quick access, with some supporting features like kanban boards, tags, or photo frames. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from — it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders among these tools are yamlist with 100 stars, TOOLBAR with 4 stars, and Vuget with 2 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.
