forgetag is a local-first desktop library for collecting files, folders, archives, tags, dates, and short notes without moving or deleting the original source files. Added items are copied into a managed local library and stored with readable metadata.

The app is built with Tauri v2, React, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and Rust.

Features

• Add files, folders, and archives.
• Drag and drop a file, folder, or archive into the Add screen.
• Save title, date, tags, and description while adding an item.
• Copy added sources into ~/forgetag-library.
• Search items by title, path, tags, description, and date.
• Filter items by existing tags.
• Preview selected item metadata.
• Open the managed item location from the app.
• Export the managed library as a ZIP archive.
• Import a previously exported ZIP archive.
• Use a simple settings screen for library import/export.
• Open the About screen with noirLang project information.
• Check releases from github.com/noirlang/forgetag.
