TaggingSpace

Answers to the practical questions that come up most often around tagging, search, privacy, pricing, and who TaggingSpace is designed for.
TaggingSpace is a local-first photo organization app for professionals. It helps you tag work photos with projects, tags, and descriptions so you can find the right photo quickly — even years later. Photos stay on your device; nothing is uploaded to a server.
Your photos stay on your device. TaggingSpace does not upload photos to any server. All tagging, search, and organization happens locally. You can create a local backup to an external drive or storage of your choice using the backup feature in Solo Pro.
TaggingSpace is designed for professionals who take photos as part of their work and need to find specific photos quickly later. This includes maintenance technicians, property managers, construction site teams, insurance adjusters, inspectors, and field service crews. It also works well for solo operators and anyone who documents physical work or property conditions over time. See the guides for construction teams, insurance adjusters and homeowners, and property managers.
Folders force each photo into a single path. Real retrieval usually depends on several dimensions at once: which room, which issue type, which asset, which status, which job phase. A photo of a leaking pipe might need to be found later by building, by unit, by issue type, and by claim number. Folders cannot represent all of those paths at once. Tags can. The How to Organize Work Photos guide covers this in detail.
When you add a photo to a project, you can apply one or more tags that describe what the photo shows — the location, asset, issue type, status, or anything else relevant to how you will search for it later. Tags are free-form text, so you define the vocabulary that matches your work.
A construction team might use tags like floor-3, electrical, and
punch-list. A property manager might use unit-204, hvac,
and after-repair. You can also add a short description for context that does not
fit a tag.
Search works across project names, tags, descriptions, and dates. You can filter by one or more tags at the same time, combine tag filters with text search, and narrow results by date range or project. The goal is to let you find photos by what they show rather than by when you took them or where you stored them.
A Space is a completely separate work area with its own projects, tags, searches, and data. Nothing crosses between Spaces. Projects are the primary way to organize work inside a Space — Spaces are for separating entirely different contexts of work.
Most users work in a single Space. You might need more than one if you run separate businesses, work across independent departments, manage clients you want kept apart, or want to keep personal and professional work completely separate.
Examples of when multiple Spaces make sense:
If you are not sure whether you need multiple Spaces, you probably do not yet. Start with one Space and use projects to organize your work.
A Project is the primary way to organize photos within a Space — one project per job site, property, claim, or service contract. A Space is a higher-level container for an entirely separate context of work.
Think of a Space as a separate filing cabinet and projects as the folders inside it. Most users only need one Space with multiple projects.
Yes. Solo Pro includes PDF documentation export, which lets you generate a professional report from tagged photos — including photo evidence, tags, descriptions, and timestamps. This is useful for sharing documentation with clients, adjusters, or anyone who needs a structured record of the work.
The free tier includes local photo tagging, project organization, tag-based search, and one Space. There is no time limit on the free tier.
Solo Pro (€3.99 per month or €29.99 per year) adds local backups to external storage, PDF photo documentation exports for sharing with clients or insurers, and multiple Spaces for keeping separate work contexts completely apart.
No. You can keep taking photos the same way you always have. TaggingSpace is for the step after capture — organizing, tagging, and making photos searchable so they are useful later. The capture step does not change.
