## Best for

Designers who save thousands of screenshots, references and fonts and need to find them again.

## Why it deserves attention

Eagle collects images, screenshots, videos, audio, fonts, 3D files and PDFs into a library stored on your own disk, then organises them with folders, tags, smart filters, ratings and colour search, with a browser extension for one-click saving. Version 4 shipped in 2026 with a faster library engine and better large-collection handling, and it runs on macOS 10.15+ and Windows 10+. It is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription, and because the library is local there is no cloud dependency. That also means backups are your job, and there is no built-in sync between machines without moving the library yourself.
