What It Can't Do
- •Not optimized for directories with more than 100,000 files. 2. Desktop version runs a local web service (auto-started) on a fixed port; avoid port conflicts. 3. Android build is deprecated. 4. First-time search index building may be slow. 5. Embedding tags in filenames lengthens them, which may affect syncing across platforms.
Use Cases
- Personal knowledge base – tag and find documents, images, PDFs
- Creative asset manager – organize photos, design files locally
- Offline note-taking system – store and tag Markdown notes
- Web clipping – save articles and screenshots as local files via browser extension
Detailed Introduction
TagSpaces is a privacy-first, offline-capable platform for organizing, tagging, and managing your local files. It runs entirely without internet or cloud services, ensuring your data stays on your device. Available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, it also offers a browser extension (Web Clipper) for Firefox, Edge, and Chrome to capture online content as local files. Key features include a flexible tagging system (tags can be embedded in filenames or stored as sidecar files), fuzzy search, built-in note-taking (TXT, Markdown, HTML), to-do lists, media player, and file/folder management. The app is built with React, MUI, and Electron, and is dual-licensed under AGPL v3 (open source) or commercial terms.
