CLUSTER END-CALLS-CHAT · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2014-05-20

XMPP encrypted messaging apps

These apps use the XMPP protocol for secure, end-to-end encrypted messaging, with features like group chat, file sharing, and voice/video calls. The dated entries appear roughly every two to three years between December ​2011 and May ​2021, signaling an intermittent but ongoing stream rather than a consistent cadence. No product stands out on traction; all listed leaders show zero star activity signals.

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.
