Download TagSpaces 5.2.2 Download | TechSpot

TagSpaces is an app that can be used to collect, browse and organize files and folders. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. The app is completely free and open source, published under the AGPL license. It has a modern intuitive user interface built on top web technology.

Privacy by design

Have full control over your data! Since the app doesn’t need internet or online registration to run, your files never leave your computer and you can access them anytime. Our apps do not collect user data or track user behavior. Your files stay safe with you, and always will.

Open and expandable

The core of TagSpaces is open source and published under the AGPL license. The application is written with modern web technology and is designed to be easily extended with plugins. All our available plugins are published under the MIT license.

Intuitive and easy to use

TagSpaces is designed to be easy to install and effortless to run. TagSpaces offers you the same convenient user interface of your local files on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android.

Files only – No vendor lock-in

TagSpaces uses only readable text files to maintain all meta information such as tags, descriptions and colors. Since we have a database or a software backend, there is no vendor lock-in and you can easily access your information even without our app.

Local first, offline first

Our desktop application runs completely offline on your computer or smartphone and requires no Internet connection. It is up to you to decide if and with which tools (eg Nextcloud, Dropbox, Syncthing) you can sync your annotated files across different computers.

Add tags and descriptions to files and folders

• Organize your photos, documents, music, recipes or invoices with tags in the same way on all platforms.
• You can assign custom color to each folder and tag, making visual search a simple step.
• You can add a custom thumbnail image and text description to each file or folder.
• Unlike most file tagging applications, TagSpaces does not persist the tags in a centralized way. As a consequence, the supplied metadata is not vendor-locked.

Create digital notes as regular files

• TagSpaces can be used as a full-fledged note-taking program similar to Evernote or Notion.
• You can create and edit notes in WYSIWYG text editors.
• Markdown, HTML and plain text are the available formats for the notes.
• Common blocks such as lists, headings, tables and embedded images can be used
• Our new Markdown editor even supports LaTeX math equations and source code snippets.
• You can create to-do lists and organize them into a kind of offline personal wiki to track your projects, ideas or memories.

Browse and preview your files

The app is like a web browser, but for files, where you can:

• Open your digital photos and images
• Read PDF documents and collected web pages
• Listen to your music and play videos
• Organize your e-book library
• Build your own personal digital asset management system
• The list of supported file formats is still growing.

Connect to S3 object store to manage the files there

In TagSpaces Pro, you can connect to AWS S3-compatible object stores (buckets) as locations, and then you can:

• Browse, preview, mark and search the files located there.
• Edit files located in the cloud without downloading and re-uploading them.
• Upload new files to the buckets with simple drag-and-drop actions.
• Create time-limited, shareable links to files on bucket.
• Create your own Dropbox or Evernote-like services using only AWS S3 or MinIO as a back-end.
• MinIO is explicitly supported, allowing you to host and manage S3-compatible buckets on NAS systems.

Geotag files and tag maps by placing files on them

TagSpaces Pro has a built-in perspective, which allows you to view geotagged files and folders on a digital map. So you can:

• Place any file or folder on a map
• Label map with files
• Save private favorite places
• Plan or document trips and places to visit
• Extract geocoordinates from images with the built-in IPTC/EXIF support so you can display them on a map

Collect content from web pages with our Web Clipper browser extension

Save web pages, text extracts, screenshots from web pages or bookmarks on your local hard drive as simple files for later offline use.

• We offer free browser extensions for Chrome, Edge and Firefox for web clipping.
• Save whole web pages or just parts of them, so you can use the application similar to the many “load later” services.
• Take a screenshot from the visible part of the website or bookmark it. This, together with the tagging support, allows you to use TagSpaces as a full-fledged bookmark manager.
• Using only files to store the web pages has many advantages. The most important is that the collected content is not “held hostage” in any online services.

Properties

• Simple file and folder labeling
  • The application supports adding tags with drag and drop to files and folders, in a transparent, non-vendor-locked way.
• Tag library with colored tags
  • You can organize your tags thematically in tag groups. For example, the “family” group might contain tags that represent the members of your family. All these tags can have the same color to be easily visually recognisable.
• Powerful desktop search
  • The application supports searching for files and folders in your current location or folder. It can be searched explicitly for a given code or a combination of tags. You can even exclude results with a given code.
• User Interface Themes
  • Currently, TagSpaces supports a light and a dark theme, which can be easily switched.
• File and folder management
  • TagSpaces has a set of basic file and folder management operations such as create, rename, move and delete.
• Support for extensions
  • The application can be extended with multiple viewers for different file types and perspectives that represent your files for different use cases.
