“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 |
 |
Just press the F1 key to import a Web page, a scrap of text, mail messages, or any file on your Mac. Press Option-F1 for options or Shift-F1 to make a quick note. |  |
EagleFiler libraries use an open format: regular files and folders that are fully accessible to your other applications. |
 |
Import and view any kind of file: RTF, PDF, Word, images, Web archives, chats, and proprietary formats via Quick Look plug-ins. |  |
The live search is faster than Spotlight, and you can also set up smart folders and smart folder actions. |
 |
Speed up your mail program by archiving old e-mails. EagleFiler can convert from Microsoft Outlook 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 or PDF files, including all the images, formatting, and the original source URL. |
 |
Use the Mail-like interface to view your folders and file contents in single streamlined window (or multiple windows, if you want). |  |
RTF and text files can be edited directly in EagleFiler. Double-click any kind of file to view or edit it in a specialized application. |
 |
Add tags and notes to your files. Tags are like keywords and can be hierarchical. Notes can contain rich text and links. |  |
Flag important files, keep track of which documents are unread, and assign colored labels that also show up in the Finder. |
 |
Secure your library using encryption approved by the NSA. Everything is viewable and searchable—once you’ve entered the passphrase. |  |
Designed with data integrity in mind, EagleFiler ensures that your files are stored safely, and it can verify that none are lost or damaged. |
 |
Create multiple libraries, store them wherever you want, open more than one at a time, and drag and drop files between them. |  |
Automate EagleFiler via AppleScript. Write stationery scripts that are triggered when you create new documents. |
 |
Files, the notes you add to them, and tags are searchable via Spotlight and from applications that support OpenMeta. |  |
