TagSpaces: is a Free Offline Document Manager For Daily Users
TagSpaces is a comprehensive, versatile, and user-friendly application designed to help users organize and manage their local files with ease. This open-source software is free to use, and it doesn't involve any vendor lock-in. It leverages the use of tags to enable users to annotate, categorize and manage files in a more efficient and organized way.
Note-taking
With its advanced note-taking functionalities and some capabilities of to-do apps, TagSpaces goes beyond just file organization. It is available across multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android, making it a versatile and convenient tool for users who need to access their files on different devices and operating systems.
Web Clipper
TagSpaces also comes with a web clipper extension for Firefox, Edge, and Chrome, which allows users to easily collect online content in the form of local files. This feature is particularly helpful for individuals who need to research and save information from the internet for future reference.
File Manager
The software provides a convenient user interface for browsing, viewing, and managing files and folders. It supports two ways for tagging files, making it easy for users to choose the one that they find more convenient. One way is by embedding the tags directly in the name of the file, while the other uses sidecar files for persisting the tags.
The search functionality in TagSpaces is powerful and user-friendly, supporting fuzzy functionality and allowing users to filter their locations for files and folders containing one or more tags. Additionally, TagSpaces comes with a media player, a browser for local content, and a to-do management feature.
