CLUSTER JOURNALING-MOOD-TRACKING · 26 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-11-29
Private encrypted journaling apps
This cluster consists of private journaling apps that emphasize on-device encryption, offline access, and mood tracking, often including rich media (photos, video, audio) and timeline/calendar organization. The dated history shows two early entries in 2017 and 2018, a long gap, then a small cluster of entries from mid-2025 through mid-2026, indicating recent renewed activity rather than a steady pattern. Among traction leaders (MindLog, Munra, within), all show zero stars, suggesting early-stage or pre-market traction despite their activity signals.
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.
