Tray-based service status monitors

These are desktop tray/notification-area utilities that show the status of a specific service — file sync (Syncthing), backup jobs, or IT monitoring — and provide quick actions like start/stop or remote access. The dated entries span September 2018 through June 2026, with a long gap after the 2018 entry and then a few entries in 2024 and 2026, so the timeline is sparse and intermittent. The traction leaders are Syncthing Tray, tacticaltray-linux, and Nagstamon, each with zero stars, indicating no significant community traction yet.

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.
