Why TagSpaces?
No Login ➜ No Backend ➜ No tracking
Privacy by design
Keep full control over your files! Since the desktop app runs locally it does not require an online registration or connection. Furthermore. The app does not collect user data or track your behavior. Your files remain safely with you.
Always available - Local-first, offline-first!
The desktop app requires no Internet connection, so your files are not leaving your computer and you can always access them. It is up to you to decide which tools you can use to sync (with Nextcloud, Dropbox, Syncthing) and which ones you can use to encrypt (e.g. Cryptomator) them.
Just files - No vendor locking
TagSpaces stores the tags, descriptions and colors in readable text files along your files. Since the app do not have a database or a software back-end, there is no vendor locking and you can easily access your data even without our app.

Intuitive and easy to use
The desktop and the web apps are designed for easy installation and use. They offers a consistent user experience for working, organizing and annotating files and folders across Windows, macOS, Linux and Android platforms.
