As you already may know we at TagSpaces love files. Files are the artifacts of our digital life and such we working hard to provide a consistent and convenient interface to them across operating systems like Windows, OS X or Android. Our goal is to enable you to organize and order these artifacts in a way, which is meanwhile common in many cloud-based platforms, but entirely or partially missing in the default file manager build in the modern operating systems. We are convinced that not all your files have to be uploaded or shared with these cloud services and this is driving us to further develop the application. Meanwhile the effort for keeping the project running with the desired quality on all platforms has grown tremendously and we started to look for some sources of income in order to further develop it. So some months ago we decided to offer a premium version of TagSpaces, containing some advanced features. And today we think that TagSpaces Pro is ready to be released to the public.

Recently we released a new version of TagSpaces, containing many improvement, bug fixes and some major restructuring of the application. In this blog post we will highlight some of them.

Publishing the extensions under MIT license​

Probably the most important change in this release was the separation of all TagSpaces extensions from its core to separate modules/repositories. The majority of the extensions are now released under the permissive MIT license. The main driving force behind this decision was the hope that now it will be more easy for developers and advanced users to fork, extend and improve existing extension and of course create new one.

All TagSpaces extensions so far can be found listed and classified in the extensions area of this website.

Today we are exited to introduce another major milestone in the development of TagSpaces containing many new exiting features and improvements.

Recently I discovered a nice feature in the extension management page of the Chrome browser. Here at the end of the page there is a link called "Keyboard shortcuts". See the red area of the screenshot below.

The first release for 2015 went online recently, so now it's time to describe what was added to the product. The most important improvements were the redesign of the search functionality and adding capturing of web pages or so the called web-scrapping or -clipping.

In this post I will explain how you can export your notes from Evernote as plain text files in the popular Markdown format. The purpose is of course to make the migration from Evernote to TagSpaces or any other file based note-taking application as painless as possible.

On 22th November we released version 1.9.0. The main improvement is the addition of the 64bit version of TagSpaces for Windows and Mac OS X, based on node-webkit version 0.11.x. Further changes are:

File editor redesign​

One major improvement coming with version 1.8.6 is the redesigning of the file edit functionality. Now you are not forced anymore to confirm every time the saving of a file. And if you have already edited some file, a star will appear behind the file extension, letting you to know this. Since the start is present, editing of title or adding of tags will be impossible until you save your changes.

Version 1.8.5 was released some weeks ago, and now is a high time to present the major new features provided by it.

We just released version 1.8.3 of TagSpaces including the following enhancement:
