EagleFiler
Document organizer and mail archiver for Mac
What is EagleFiler?
EagleFiler is a Mac app from C-Command Software for filing documents, archiving email, saving web pages and writing notes, with search across all of it. A library is a set of ordinary files and folders in the Finder rather than a closed database, and it can be encrypted, split into several separate libraries, and tagged with tags that sync with Finder tags. It is sold as a one-time purchase with a 30-day trial.
EagleFiler is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $69.99 one-time purchase. See every plan
Good for
- Mac users running a paperless office or a long-term document archive
- Moving large amounts of old email out of a mail program
- People who want their files kept in standard formats in the Finder
Worth knowing
- It is a Mac app only; on iPhone and iPad a library kept in cloud storage can be read with apps such as Files, but there is no EagleFiler app.
- The app currently relies on Rosetta 2 on Apple silicon Macs; the vendor says a native rewrite will be finished before macOS 28.
- Mac App Store purchases are single-user only and do not qualify for family packs, volume or educational discounts, or upgrade pricing.
- Major version upgrades are free only within six months of buying the previous version; after that they are offered at a discount.
Key features
- Capture from any app
- Press a capture key to import the web page, mail messages or file you are viewing, or a quick-entry key to make a note without leaving the current app.
- Email archiving
- Archives mail from Apple Mail, Outlook and other clients with attachments and flags intact, stored in the standard mbox format or as individual .eml files.
- Web page archiving
- Saves pages as web archives, PDF, rich text or plain bookmarks along with the source URL, and imports bookmark lists from Safari, Pinboard and others.
- Libraries in Finder format
- Each library is made of regular files and folders in standard formats that other apps can open, with checksums to verify that nothing is lost or damaged.
- Search, tags and smart folders
- Its own index searches file contents and email attachments with Boolean operators and wildcards. Nested tags sync with Finder tags, and smart folders can run actions.
- Encrypted libraries
- A library can be encrypted with AES-128 or AES-256, including its metadata and indexes, and stays searchable once the passphrase has been entered.
