Customisable Interface

Meta allows you to define tag-panel (sidebar) configurations: groups of tags you want to edit most often. Just pick which tags to display in each setting, and name it. You'll then be able to switch between each layout at will and edit the tags associated (ex: Publishing, Classical, Podcasts…).

Fast, Clean, Reliable

Meta is a native and robust macOS app powered by Taglib, a trusted and proven open-source tagging engine. Edits will be mostly instantaneous, and there will be no need for manual saving: what you see is what you get.
