About TagSpaces
TagSpaces is a file organizer for Windows, macOS, Linux, and the web, with Android and iOS also listed in the directory. It lets users add color-coded tags, descriptions, and custom thumbnails to files and folders. According to the homepage, the tags are stored beside the files rather than in a central database. Users can write notes in Markdown, HTML, or plain text, which are saved as standard files. The app can preview more than 50 file formats, and a Web Clipper browser extension saves web pages, screenshots, and bookmarks as local files.
Some features depend on other tools or services. The optional local AI features use separately installed engines such as Ollama, llama.cpp, or LM Studio. Syncing and encryption rely on third-party tools the user chooses, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Syncthing, or Cryptomator. The homepage also describes S3-compatible cloud storage access and a Kanban board view in TagSpaces Pro, but it does not state which plans include each feature. Pricing is not confirmed in the source.
