CLUSTER PRINT-BLEED-DESKTOP · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-13

Desktop print preparation apps

This cluster consists of desktop applications for print preparation, focusing on imposition, bleed, crop marks, and exporting print-ready PDFs, often including booklet and double-sided layouts. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, with only one dated entry before the index start, indicating the cluster predates the index or members are largely undated. Traction is led by Pliflo with 3 stars, while photobook-generator and PageCompose each have 1 star.

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 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
