Version 1.9.21 of EagleFiler is now available.

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.

EagleFiler is a digital filing cabinet, an information organizer, and a note-taking app. You can use it to archive and search large amounts of e-mail, write a journal, track the files for a project, save local copies of Web pages, store financial statements, run a paperless office, or plan a trip. Use EagleFiler as a bookmark manager, a recipe database, a snippet collector, a document manager, or an issue tracker. Organize scientific research papers or legal records, assemble a scrapbook, or keep a notebook for a college course. It’s the most flexible tool on your Mac.

This is a free update that includes the following enhancements:

• EagleFiler is compatible with beta versions of the forthcoming macOS 27 Golden Gate. When launching EagleFiler, macOS may show an “App Update Required” or “Support Ending for Intel-based Apps” notification. This will be relevant for macOS 28 in fall 2027, and we expect to have an update available before then.
• The capture key now works with MailMaven and will preserve e-mail message metadata such as the keywords, project, flag, importance, and notes, and also include a link back to the original message in MailMaven (requires MailMaven 1.2 or later). For more information, see the Importing Mail From MailMaven section of the manual.
• Importing from Mariner Paperless is better at handling errors; it no longer times out reporting them and now lets you skip over any files that are missing. It also now works with databases from the older version 2.x of Paperless.
• Capturing from Outlook works better with very large selections of messages.
• The capture key now works with the Helium Web browser.
• Encrypted libraries now always use the APFS file system. Apple has announced that volumes using the encrypted Mac OS Extended file system will not be compatible with macOS 28 (in fall 2027). You can convert old encrypted libraries to the new format by rebuilding them or simply by creating a new encrypted library, closing both libraries, and using Finder to replace the contents of the new encrypted volume with the contents of the old one.
• Improved handling of temporary errors that can occur when using the To Import folder with a library stored in NextCloud/OpenCloud.
• It is now possible to override the source URL for a .eml file via AppleScript.
• Updated the following sections of the manual:
  • Importing Mail From Spark Mail
  • Missing Apple Mail Messages and Attachments
  • Troubleshooting Privacy Access
• Help links once again open in the system help viewer on recent versions of macOS.
• Made various updates for Xcode 27 and macOS 27.
• Fixed a bug due to a macOS change where changing a record’s label from the Info inspector didn’t work.
• Fixed a bug capturing emoji from Twitter.
• Fixed a bug where temporary files were not deleted after capturing from Outlook.
• Fixed a spurious error logged by the share extension.
• Fixed an error loading the Drop Pad menu.
• Fixed an error playing videos.

EagleFiler 1.9.21 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS 27 Golden Gate. Older EagleFiler versions are available for older versions of macOS. In-depth information about EagleFiler is available in the manual.
