Tagging apps, often referred to as "taggingsovellusten" in Swedish, are software applications designed to help users categorize, organize, and retrieve information using tags. These tags are typically keywords or short phrases that are assigned to content, such as photos, documents, notes, or web links. The primary purpose of tagging is to create a flexible and user-friendly system for managing digital assets, moving beyond traditional folder structures.

By applying multiple tags to a single item, users can create cross-referenced connections that allow for versatile searching and filtering. For example, a photograph could be tagged with "vacation," "beach," "sunset," and "family," enabling it to be found when searching for any of these individual tags or combinations. This approach contrasts with hierarchical folder systems, where an item can only reside in one location.

Tagging apps can be found in various forms, from standalone note-taking applications with robust tagging features to file management tools and even operating system functionalities. Their benefits include improved discoverability of information, the ability to create custom organizational schemes without altering original file locations, and enhanced collaboration when shared tagging systems are implemented. The effectiveness of a tagging system relies on the user's consistency in applying relevant and descriptive tags.
