Life-logging diary apps
This cluster consists of diary and life-logging apps that record events with notes, photos, and location, and provide statistical, map, or insights-based views, including an open-source variant with a searchable timeline. The dated history before the index start shows sporadic single entries across years (2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022) and two entries in early 2026, but the pattern is too irregular to read a clear shape. Among members with traction signals, life-archive leads with 1 star, while timetrace and soov have 0 stars.
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 12 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
