Mind-mapping and idea organization apps
This cluster consists of mind-mapping and visual idea-organization applications, many of which incorporate AI-assisted node editing or generation. The dated history, based on pre-index months, shows an early sparse phase (7 entries from 2019 to 2024) then a denser phase(13 entries from 2025 through 2026-07. Traction leadership is minimal, with opensource-xmind having 12 stars and NODUS having 2 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.
