CLUSTER END-ENCRYPTED-CLOUD · 15 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-10-12
Encrypted photo/video backup apps
This cluster consists of applications and services for end-to-end encrypted backup and storage of personal photos, videos, and documents, often emphasizing zero-knowledge architecture and on-device encryption. The dated history before the index start shows a sparse pattern: a single entry in 2013, then sporadic entries in 2019, 2020, and 2021, with the majority of dated entries (7 of 10) appearing from 2023 onward reaching into 2026. Traction is minimal, with the top three activity leaders (CloudCipher, Cloud Storage Backup & Drive, Wolf Gallery) all at 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.
