“EagleFiler combines ease of use with an underlying ingenuity that makes it feel simple, fast, and lightweight. It’s packed with too many clever touches for me to list.”
TidBITS
“It’s a vital tool for the digital pack rat.…The application’s tagging, note-taking, and searching capabilities make finding that one file you stored in EagleFiler a year ago and want to retrieve today a cinch.”
Macworld
EagleFiler makes organizing and managing your information easy. It lets you archive and search Web pages, mail, PDF files, images, audio/video files, and more. Edit RTF, plain text, and Markdown files using a familiar three-pane interface. Organize files of all types into folders and annotate them with tags and notes, or leave everything in one folder and pin-point the information you need using the live search or a smart folder. Since EagleFiler stores its library in Finder format, you can use it in concert with the other tools in your Mac ecosystem.

The
live search is faster than Spotlight, and you can also set up
smart folders and smart folder actions. Search all your files and e-mail attachments, and see the matches highlighted.
icon-mail
Archive your e-mails (including attachments omitted by Time Machine) to
speed up your mail program or create a safe, fast backup of your IMAP server. EagleFiler can convert from
Apple Mail,
Microsoft Outlook,
.eml, and other formats to the standard
mbox format, and it’s
designed to handle tons of mail efficiently.

Save Web pages as self-contained
Web archives, PDF, or RTF files, including all the images, formatting, and the original source URL.

Mail-like interface to view your folders and file contents in single streamlined window (or multiple windows, if you want).

Rich text (RTF and RTFD) and text files can be
edited directly in EagleFiler. Double-click any kind of file to view or edit it in a specialized application.

Finder tags and add features like hierarchy and
symbols. Notes can contain rich text, links, and attached files.

icon-encrypted
Secure your library using industry standard AES
encryption. Everything is viewable and searchable—once you’ve entered the passphrase—but even the indexes are encrypted on disk.
icon-data-integrity
Designed with
data integrity in mind, EagleFiler ensures that your files are stored safely, and it uses checksums to
verify that none are lost or damaged. Let it protect you from bit rot.
