CLUSTER MOBILE-PRIVATE-PHOTOS · 16 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-01-03
Private media vault apps
This cluster consists of mobile apps that encrypt and hide photos, videos, audio, and notes inside passcode- or biometric-protected local vaults. Dated entries before the index start are sparse, with single entries scattered across months from 2011-08 to 2026-07, showing no consistent pattern. Traction leaders are kryvo and myVideo (1 star each), with kagaz-pwa at 0 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.
