About TagSpaces
TagSpaces is a file browser and organizer that lets you tag files and folders with color-coded tags. There is no database: tags travel with the files, so they survive moving between devices. It previews more than 50 file formats and can create notes in Markdown, HTML or plain text, with a web clipper for Chrome, Firefox and Edge.
It runs without an account or backend, can sync via Google Drive, Dropbox or Syncthing, and offers per-folder AI chat through Ollama, llama.cpp or LM Studio.
Strengths
- Tags stored with the files, no database or login
- Previews over 50 file formats
- Available on desktop, mobile and web
- Optional local AI chat via Ollama or LM Studio
