TagSpaces is an open and extensible platform for personal data management. With TagSpaces you can manage and organize the files on your local drive.
Cross-platform tagging and annotation for every file and folder
Organize your photos, ebooks, music, recipes or invoices in the same way on almost every operating system. We currently support Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Android.
In contrary to the most file tagging applications, TagSpaces does not persists the tags in a centralized way. As a consequence, the added meta information is not vendor locked. The absence of a database, makes syncing of it easy across different devices with services like Dropbox or Nextcloud.
TagSpaces features basic file management operations, so it can be used as simple file manager supporting tagging of files and folders.
With the help of tags you can do research better or you can manage your personal projects and todo lists.

The software appears well written and looks nice. However the way that it changes the filename to include the tags is a dealbreaker for me. They should embed the tags in metadata.
I think the best file organizer, not only becаuse is app that works completely offline.It supports more than 50 file types.100% free to use with Chrome Extension, Firefox Add-On, Android App and Mac OSX Application.Recommended!
This is interesting. The "tag" is saved in the filename, it appends [tag1][tag2]... to the file name. I certainly don't want that all over my hard-drive, but maybe for some discrete purposes it would be useful. I'd like to see a better description of what it does and how, than I have found so far. I'm so desperate for effective file-tagging (10.6) that I'll try anything :-/ .
