What is it good for?#
Users can operate with local files and folders on different platforms through a single friendly interface which allows them to view, edit, and add tags to their information.
Is it compatible with my platform?#
It is compatible with Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, Firefox and Chrome.
Do I need Internet access?#
No
Is it a cloud service?#
No
Where do I register my account?#
Nowhere
Does it use database for saving the tags?#
No
Is it secure?#
The app is running completely offline, all your data is stored locally and is never sent to the network. It doesn't contain any statistics collection scripts, analytics or ads. Exception makes the ability in the PRO version to connect to S3 compatible object storages such AWS S3 buckets. Here TagSpaces makes network connections in order to work with the remote object storage. Another exception is an external call for checking the existence of a newer application version. This request can be disabled in the settings.
Where does TagSpaces save the meta data such as tags?#
The tags are added in name of the file, so for example if you tag the file “img-9832.jpg” with the tags “sunset” and “bahamas” it will be renamed to “img-9832 [sunset bahamas].jpg”. The Pro version of TagSpaces, has an option to save the tags in sidecar files.
What are the main advantages?#
- Cross-platform
- Open source
- No databases
- No vendor locking
- Works offline
- Continuous support
- Unobtrusive
- Compatible with cloud services for synchronization of files
TagSpaces provides access to local files and folders on different platforms and/or devices from a single, friendly interface which allows you to organize your information, using the same logic everywhere. It is an alternative to digital note organizers such as Evernote and Onenote. It enables you to edit and create files (in text, markdown and rich text format) directly into the application. It is suitable for web-clipping by saving parts of web pages for further use offline. Within this function, TagSpaces resembles other “Read It Later” services, such as Pocket for example, but with much added functionality.
What happens to my files if TagSpaces no longer exists?#
TagSpaces is licensed under a Free and Open Source (FOSS) license accepted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF). Its source code is published on GitHub and legally copied by thousands of developers around the world, including more than one hundred forks on GitHub.

Even if the current TagSpaces core team ceased to exist, it is not possible to prevent other developers from continuing to publish the code or binaries by legal means. So even in the case of an acquisition of TagSpaces UG (the company behind the project), TagSpaces can not be erased from the Internet.
Additionally, TagSpaces runs solely on your client, with your local files and does not need any infrastructure or accounts under our control. So even if you do not use TagSpaces anymore, the files you have managed and organized with our tool will remain on your computer.
Is it similar to other services?#
TagSpaces has practically no alternative in the open source world, as it is a no-cloud, no-vendor locking, genuine, offline service, aiming at the user’s independence. It has some similarities with a variety of other services, such as:
- Evernote
- Onenote
- Fetchnotes
- Dropbox
- Google Keep / Notes
- Google Picasa Desktop (discontinued)
- Zim-Wiki
