Get Organized.
You have digitalized your office, got rid of paper folders, dumped everything onto a hard drive or server. Good! But how do you organize thousands of digital documents? That is where WibTag comes in. A simple, fast and very light-weight solution to categorize visually and find the right document within miliseconds.
WibTag directly reads tags from document files and writes changes back to the files. Any third party application, such as Windows Search, can make use of them. The app is currently restricted to the following document files: PDF, Microsoft Office (since 2007: Word, Excel, PowerPoint), LibreOffice/OpenOffice, JPG pictures (tags only), and MP3 audio files (ID 3.1 only).
WibTag offers the following features:

This function is much faster and more convenient than ordinary file search. You can also use the categories of the pool of tags to group files.
Click on "Unlock Find Tab" and follow the instructions.

Here is what users asked most about WibTag:
I am a non-professional programmer. There will be plenty of updates to the app, but new features will take time. Please report any bug you might encounter or any additional feature you would like to see.
Currently you can run the app in Windows, MacOS (only x86_64 architecture) and Linux. Just unzip and run from any folder. Under MacOS, you have to bypass the Apple "Gatekeeper" (google how to do this). Contact us if you encounter issues with the installation.
The app is fully functional without donations. Windows search and other third party apps will be able to read the tags you add to your files with WibTag.
Donating will give you a better user experience by adding the app-internal enhanced search functions.
