What is TagSpaces?
TagSpaces lets you tag files and folders on your own drives, storing tags in file names or helper files, then preview, search and take notes on them, with optional S3-compatible cloud storage and local AI chats. TagSpaces Lite is free and open source (AGPL) on Windows, macOS, Linux, the web, iOS and Android; TagSpaces Pro is a paid licence.
