EagleFiler’s tags are not truly hierarchical unfortunately, because the program doesn’t recognize any relationship between parent and child tags, but just being able to sort tags into related groups makes browsing them much easier, and EagleFiler’s developer has mentioned that he may in the future beef up EagleFiler’s hierarchical tagging. Particularly when it comes to tagging generic files, most programs only support tag clouds which are often little use for people who have a large number of tags. Of particular note is EagleFiler’s support for archiving email this is a cool feature in and of itself (and not available in the other two), but to make things even better EagleFiler supports MailTags.ĮagleFiler’s pseudo-hierarchical tags are one of its main selling points for me. Getting files into EagleFiler is dead easy (usually a single keypress away) and EagleFiler natively supports PDFs, web archives, RTF documents, emails, chats, and more (you can always store unsupported documents in EagleFiler, as well they just won’t have a preview and you’ll have to edit them in another program). This (and the pseudo-hierarchical tagging) is perhaps the most attractive feature of EagleFiler.
EagleFiler stores your files in a Finder-friendly format very similar to iTunes (they’re on-disk in a folder of your choosing, but EagleFiler manages them). To my mind, there are currently three main contenders if you are looking for a tag-based file library: EagleFiler, Yojimbo, and Together.ĮagleFiler ($40) is currently my file library of choice. File libraries contain some of the best examples of tagging interfaces currently available on the Mac, and thanks to the limitations Spotlight has with regards to tagging often provide streamlined and useful tagging for a variety of file types. To recap, a file library is an application that collects, searches, and browses your files outside of the standard Finder and Spotlight interface. This time the topic is file libraries, and unlike file system tagging solutions, there’s a lot of good options out there.

readers something to do while they’re recovering from eating too much turkey, and I can hardly think of a better distraction than an article that I’ve been meaning to write for months, continuing my series of tagging software recommendations.
I know it’s hardly standard practice to publish things on major holidays, but I wanted to give my U.S.
