Technical users and developers:
What SpotMeta can do for you.
Then do a Spotlight search and use the Finder's 'Smart Folders' to find the files you need and collect them into logical groups - just like having your own filing clerk!
Imagine being able to tag your photos, video clips or image files with keywords such as location, date, client, subject, copyright, source, etc.
Imagine pulling-out all the estimates, timesheets and costings for a particular project to give you an instant update on progress.
Imagine a Smart Folder that shows, at a glance, all the work due this week.
Imagine taking real control of the documents and files on your computer once and for all.
SpotMeta gives all this, and more.
