TagSpaces vs MarkerShelf

TagSpaces is a private, offline file organizer and note-taking app. Browse, tag, and find your documents, photos, notes, and PDFs — all kept on your device or in your own iCloud Drive. No account, no sign-up, no cloud lock-in, and no tracking. Most apps push your files into someone else's cloud. TagSpaces does the opposite: your data stays yours, in plain files and folders you fully control, readable with or without the app. Organize with tags • Add tags directly into filenames or store them in sidecar files • Group and color your tags for fast visual sorting • Works across all your folders — no proprietary database Find anything, fast • Search by name or tags with fuzzy matching • Filter and narrow down large folders in seconds Notes & to-dos • Create notes in plain text, Markdown, or HTML • Keep simple task lists with the built-in editor View your media • Open images, PDFs, audio, and video right in the app • Preview and manage documents without extra tools Private and offline by design • 100% offline — no internet connection required • No ads, no analytics, no accounts • Your files live on your device and in your iCloud Drive, and integrate with the iOS Files app Open source you can trust The TagSpaces core is open source (AGPL), so anyone can verify how it handles your data.

Download TagSpaces and turn your phone into a private, offline home for everything that matters.

Ever saved a video and never found that one useful moment in it again? MarkerShelf fixes that. MarkerShelf is a video bookmarking app: save videos from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok — or import your own from Photos and Files — and drop timestamped markers on the exact moments that matter. The recipe step, the exercise demo, the 20 seconds of a tutorial you'll actually need again. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Share a video to MarkerShelf from any app and it lands in your library with its title, thumbnail, and tags. Online videos play through each platform's official player — nothing is downloaded or re-hosted. MARK THE MOMENTS Tap once while watching to bookmark the current moment. Add a title, notes, and a screenshot so future-you knows exactly why it mattered. Jump straight back to any marker with one tap. FIND IT AGAIN Organize with tags and collections, browse your markers as a visual shelf, and search across everything — titles, notes, and tags. Your library becomes a personal reference, not a graveyard of "watch later" links.
