## Goals
|
||||
|
||||
- To achieve a portable, private, extensible, open-format, and feature-rich system of organizing and rediscovering files.
|
||||
- To provide powerful methods for organization, notably the concept of tag inheritance, or “taggable tags” _(and in the near future, the combination of composition-based tags)._

- To provide powerful methods for organization, notably the concept of tag inheritance, or "taggable tags" _(and in the near future, the combination of composition-based tags)._
|
||||
- To create an implementation of such a system that is resilient against a user’s actions outside the program (modifying, moving, or renaming files) while also not burdening the user with mandatory sidecar files or requiring them to change their existing file structures and workflows.
|
||||
- To support a wide range of users spanning across different platforms, multi-user setups, and those with large (several terabyte) libraries.
|
||||
- To make the dang thing look nice, too. It’s 2025, not 1995.

> On macOS, you may be met with a message saying _""TagStudio" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software."_ If you encounter this, then you'll need to go to the "Settings" app, navigate to "Privacy & Security", and scroll down to a section that says _""TagStudio" was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer."_ Click the "Open Anyway" button to allow TagStudio to run. You should only have to do this once after downloading the application.
