Tagboat

Tag your files, consistently.

Tag your files consistently to make them easy to find.
🛟
Classify them in ways that defy the limitations of folder trees.
🛟
Supercharge macOS’ tag support by adding inherited tags and keyboard shortcuts that make quick work of tagging.

Tagboat extends your Mac’s file tagging support into a truly powerful tool, adding the ability to:

  • quickly find and tag your untagged files
  • tag consistently, and track your progress in tagging folder contents
  • define a “tree” of tags in which some tags imply others, helping you apply tags more quickly and consistently
  • have files automatically inherit the tags of containing folders, if you wish

Tagboat makes your progress visible, and helps you keep chosen folders completely tagged and well organized — making it fast, easy, and rewarding to keep a consistent discipline of tagging your files. It helps you cultivate an intentional tag vocabulary that suits your own file collections and workflow, while making the files you care about easy to find when you need them.

Tagboat’s “Managed Folders” window helps you track your progress toward getting the files you care about 100% tagged.
Its “Tags” window lets you assign your own tag hotkeys, and enables instant application of multiple tags by letting tags bring along the parent tags they’re nested under.
Tagboat’s file tagging view helps you instantly identify files that need tagging, quickly apply the tags you want, and get on with your workflow!
