TagSpaces is an open-source, offline-first desktop and mobile application for organizing, tagging, and previewing local files, notes, and tasks without any cloud service or central database. Tags are stored in filenames or sidecar files, making metadata portable across platforms, with optional local AI chat via Ollama or OpenAI-compatible servers.
Use cases
- organize local files with tags without a database
- take markdown notes that stay as plain files
- save web pages and screenshots locally with a browser clipper
- preview pdfs, images, audio, and video in one app
- manage kanban boards and tasks from folders
- chat privately with local LLMs about my documents
- sync tagged files across devices with Dropbox or Syncthing
- use S3 object storage as a personal cloud
When to choose
- you want privacy-focused, offline file organization with no account or tracking
- you need portable metadata that survives sync tools and any file manager
- you want a note-taking and file manager combined in one cross-platform app
- you prefer plain files over proprietary databases to avoid vendor lock-in
When to avoid
- you need real-time multi-user collaborative editing of documents
- you want server-side full-text indexing of huge file collections out of the box
- you require cloud-native features like shared online workspaces with access control
- you need advanced AI features, which require a paid Pro plan
