CLUSTER OSC-VRCHAT-COMPANION · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-02-22
VRChat OSC companion apps
This cluster consists of desktop and Linux companion applications for VRChat that use the OSC protocol to send chatbox messages, display system stats, translate conversations, or stream RTSP/VRCDN content in-game. Dated entries appeared roughly monthly from February through May 2026, with a gap in June and one entry in July, showing a steady trickle of releases. The traction leaders (proton-cachyos-rtsp-bin, osc-dreamchatbox, openchatbox) all have 0 stars, indicating minimal community engagement so far.
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.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
