Cross-platform file tagging
Organize your documents, photos, e-books, music, recipes or invoices in the same way on almost every platform. We currently support Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. With the help of tags you can do research better or you can manage projects using the GTD methodology or you can organize your tasks in Kanban boards. The application can persists the tags in the file names and as a consequence, the tagging information is not vendor locked. The absence of a database, makes syncing of the tag meta information easy across different devices with services like Dropbox, Google Drive or Nextcloud. TagSpaces features basic file management operations, so it can be used as tag-based file manager.
Cross-platform note taking
You can create and edit notes in plain text, markdown and html file formats. You can organize webpages saved in for example HTML or MHTML formats. You can use TagSpaces to organize you e-book library, containing for example PDF or EPUB books. You can create a personal wiki for tracking of your projects, ideas or memories.
Browse and preview your local files
Browse your local files in a convenient and responsive user interface, familiar from the modern cloud based services. Browse your digital photos, listen your local music and video content, open PDF documents and MHTML files. The list of supported files types for previewing and editing is constantly growing.
Browse and preview files from S3 object storage
TagSpaces can connect to S3 compatible cloud object storage like from AWS S3, Wasabi or Minio, so you can browse, preview and edit files located in the Cloud in the similar way you do with your local files.
TagSpaces Web clipper
With the free browser extension available for Chrome, Edge and Firefox you can save whole webpages, parts or screenshot of them as plain files on your hard drive. The extension utilize common file formats like HTML, PDF, PNG or MHTML so you can easily use the saved content later in other programs including TagSpaces.
TagSpaces is offered as a desktop app and web application for self-hosting. The Lite version is free and open-source, the Pro plan is paid.
Comments and Reviews
Tags folders and files. Makes them easy to find. Can be operated in two modes: tag added to file name or tag added to adjacent file.
1st - Tagging this like it is now here is a bad practice, the guy tagged this software with almost all available tags to get exposure. 2nd- its freemium. Don't like freemium since they allways take out the core functions. 3rd- It creates a bunch of folders for storing cache and data and you cannot change that. 4th- Anual subscription to use a fucking file manager? go home kid.
How do you know the owner added the app? I have no affiliation with any of the apps I have added here.

Too slow and awkward for me.. for a file explorer type tagging system, I'm going with Tagging for Windows which integrates w/Windows Explorer.
TagSpaces is awkward in initial impression, setup and use.. but workable. Default: big tiles/icons and thumbnails. Thumbnails can be toggled off. Switched to "List Perspective" Supplied Tags sort by file extension.. probably not what most people want, but you can make any Tag you like. Right click context gives you chance to add/remove tags, but personalize tags must be setup elsewhere first. Clicking text file name brings content in a Split Panel.. Great! Limited number of file names appear in list by default, scrolling can be time consuming ..there's a search bar at top, but it doesn't autosuggest, so you really need to know file name. You need to Create/Use Tag Group & create tags before clicking/adding from Context menu. Tag choices are listed alphabetical for choosing.. would be better if grouped. From there, things look pretty good. TagSpaces seems like a great program, but it makes me wonder if something similar and more polished is out there.
make organizing tons of files easier
TagSpaces is a file/folder management with a very good Markdown editor. Add descriptions and colours to files and folders, geo-tag and bookmark files, save searches, Kanban, photo gallery, and Map view of files.

You have to use its own interface in order to see the tags (means you have to open the software in its own window), and in that interface you will not be able to view the details of the files in comparison to windows explorer.
The free version finally doesn't waste your time Indexing everything again, it just takes a second or a few and it loads the thumbnails you loaded previously.
They also added options for Results per page but the Unlimited option doesn't work It still lags even though you limit it to 100 results per page, dragging tags onto things is laggy and sometimes doesn't even tag the item until you refresh to see the result.
But I guess it works in the end. Moved to Eagle app
