Ordered execution, top to bottom.
Each preset runs in sequence, so later steps work with the result of the earlier ones.

3Add “Reviewed” where it applies
Turn repeated tagging into a process.
Combine presets into an ordered workflow and let Little Tagger perform each step exactly when you want it to.
A workflow runs saved tag actions in order on files you supply, including through Apple Shortcuts. It does not watch folders or evaluate background rules based on filenames, dates or file types.
Several reusable actions.
Presets you already trust, each doing one special job.
→
One repeatable process.
Ordered, predictable and started by you.
Workflows
The same routine, performed the same way.
Order, timing and control are the three things that make a tagging routine worth automating.
Build from reusable actions. Combine the presets you already use into one repeatable tagging workflow.

The right steps. In the right order.
Little Tagger runs each preset from top to bottom so the result stays predictable.
Automation you start.
Little Tagger does not watch folders. You choose which files enter the workspace and which workflow processes them.
Run it your way.
Trigger a workflow manually, immediately, after 3 seconds, or after 10 seconds.
One workflow. One shortcut.
Mark the workflows you use most as favorites and Little Tagger gives them quick keyboard shortcuts. Select and run the whole workflow without searching for it first.

Capabilities
A process you can predict.
Combine the tagging steps you repeat, keep them in the right order and run the whole process again whenever you need it.
Flexible timing.
Run a workflow manually, immediately, after 3 seconds or after 10 seconds when files enter the workspace.

Reusable building blocks.
Build workflows from presets you already use. The presets remain available on their own, too.

Know what it does at a glance.
Little Tagger can summarize a workflow for you, so you can understand what it will do before you run it.

Removes the previous status first, then applies the project tags and adds the new review status where it matches.

In practice
Turn a tagging routine into one action.
The same tagging steps can come back with every new batch of files. Running them one by one takes time and makes it easy to miss one.
As a workflow, the whole routine becomes one action. The same steps run in the same order every time.
Worked example: mark research papers as read without losing project tags.

Presets become an ordered workflow.
Save a tagging action as a preset, then combine presets into a workflow.
What the video shows
Save the tagging settings you repeat as presets, then combine presets into a workflow. This example uses synthetic project files.
- Sample project documents need the same tags again. Choose “Needs Review” in Selected Tags as part of a reusable preset.
- Enable Include subfolders when the preset should also include files inside the folders you add.
- The example workflow starts by removing all existing tags from its target files.
- The next preset adds “2026”.
- The final preset adds “Fox+Rabbit” and “FXR”, leaving the sample files with the same three tags.
- The closing screen shows Little Tagger and a Mac App Store badge. Use the clickable badge below to open the store listing.
The remove-all step is a deliberate tag reset in this example. Use test copies to check the target files and subfolder scope. Omit that step when you want to keep existing tags.
You explicitly add files or folders to Little Tagger’s workspace. A configured preset or workflow can then run immediately, after a short delay, or manually. Little Tagger does not watch folders.
