CLUSTER GRAPH-NOTE-NOTES · 12 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-11

Wikilink note-taking apps

This cluster consists of note-taking apps that link notes via wiki-style references, offer a visual graph or map view, and often store plain Markdown files, with a focus on Apple ecosystem support. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only four dated entries exist before the index start, so it predates the index or many members are undated. Among traction leaders, kankan-shoucang has the highest activity with 35 stars, followed by inkstone with 4 stars and Tangent with 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.
