(Because the cloud does have its uses, after all.) This might sound like a kitchen-sink approach, and in a way it is. It can be a file manager, a note-taking app, a photo organiser, media organiser, or your gateway to your own cloud storage. TagSpaces is far more than a file-manager, offering functionality that allows it to become its own ecosystem, without the usual vendor lock-in, offering a unique way of managing file tags, while remaining more traditional when it comes to spaces. TagSpaces is a no-backend, offline-first, cloudless, privacy-respecting file organiser with a twist. But that’s a very different topic, and since the problem is known, let us focus on the solution. Yes, the much-hyped AI also needs your cloud-stored data, it literally feeds off it. (If you have not read it, you should.)

The privacy-focused open core file organiser has had quite a few upgrades and usability improvements since I started using it, warranting a new article, and some more advocacy for cloudless computing. I t has been a little over two years since TagSpaces has become my de-facto solution for document and note management on all my personal computing equipment.
