Easy Tags is a graphical user interface (GUI) application designed to simplify the management of Finder tags on macOS. With Easy Tags, users can effortlessly add, remove, and create new tags for files, enhancing the organization and accessibility of their data.
This project was developed as my final project for Harvard's CS50 course.

| File | Summary |
|---|---|
| setup.sh | A bash script automates the setup process for running a Python application named easy_tags. |
| tags.py | Manages metadata tags on files using a command-line tool. It allows for retrieving all used tags in a user's home directory, getting tags associated with a specific file, executing various tagging commands, adding and removing tags from files. |
| app.kv | The code constructs a user interface for a tag-based file organization application. The interface enables users to navigate through files using a FileChooserListView. It also offers a text input field for creating new tags. A switch container, accommodating two columns, provides a scrollable area for the dynamically added switch elements. Text labels depict the new tag creation field and display the selected file's name. |
| app.py | The code represents an application named EasyTagsApp. It uses Kivy, a Python library for creating multi-touch applications. Functionalities include setting a default path for file choosing, triggering actions on file or tag selection, managing tags related to selected files. |
