CLUSTER END-CHAT-CLIENT · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-11-12

XMPP messaging clients

This cluster consists of XMPP messaging clients prioritizing encryption, self-hosting, and privacy, spanning desktop, console, and mobile variants. The dated history shows five entries from May 2013 to March 2026, appearing sporadically with no consistent pattern. Traction leaders are BombusMod, another.im, and Poezio, though all show zero stars, indicating limited community engagement.

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.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
