TagSpaces
TagSpaces organizes files and folders in a file-based workspace, using tags, notes, tasks, maps, and kanban boards. Tags, descriptions, and colors stay alongside files rather than in a centralized database, so the metadata remains portable. Notes can be saved as Markdown, HTML, or plain-text files, and the product says it previews more than 50 formats, including images, PDFs, audio, video, spreadsheets, and source code. The free Web Clipper saves pages, articles, screenshots, and bookmarks as local files. TagSpaces also offers offline AI features through local models using Ollama, including summaries, tags, and image descriptions. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and the web, with a Chrome extension and portable version also listed. Lite is open source under AGPL-3.0; many viewer and editor extensions and the command-line tool use MIT licenses. TagSpaces Lite costs nothing.
