About TagSpaces
TagSpaces is a self-hosted file management tool that lets you organize files using tags, colors, and metadata without relying on a cloud backend. It runs entirely offline on your local device, making it a privacy-respecting alternative to cloud-based organizers. Beyond basic tagging, it includes a file browser, markdown editor, and media viewer.
The platform supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, with a web version available for proxied setups. It uses a sidecar file approach to store tags as JSON files alongside your actual data, so no database lock-in occurs. Notable features include tag-based search, file encryption at rest, and a built-in backup module that can synchronize folders to external drives or cloud storage services like Nextcloud.
TagSpaces is developed by the company TagSpaces UG and offered under the AGPL v3 open source license. It is freely available for personal use, with a paid Pro version adding advanced automation and sync capabilities. The tool is especially useful for users who want a portable, offline file catalog that doubles as a basic backup organizer.
