CLUSTER NOTES-FIRST-JOURNALING · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-01-01

AI local-first journaling apps

The cluster consists of local-first journaling apps that apply AI to personal notes, generating reviews, timelines, career insights, and a private knowledge base. The dated entry history is too thin to read a shape from: only four dated entries exist before the index start. Among the traction leaders, DigitalMuseum shows the highest activity signal with two stars, while dsh-relationship and MindFlow each have zero 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.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 13 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
