Go SGF editors and clients

These desktop applications focus on editing Go game records in SGF format, often including features like game analysis, pattern search, or connecting to online Go servers for play and review. Dated entries are few and widely scattered from 2007 to 2023, with no clear frequency trend, and traction is minimal: the leading members (sabaki-bin, sabaki-electron, q5go) each show 0 stars.

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.
