CLUSTER LOCAL-MACOS-NATIVE · 22 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-03-12

Local-first macOS AI productivity apps

This cluster consists of native macOS applications that combine notes, tasks, calendar, and AI assistance in a local-first workspace, often with optional AI companions or scheduled task support. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, with only two dated entries before the index start. LuckyTag leads traction with 52 stars, followed by Prompt-Studio (11 stars) and Workmate (3 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.
