Take control of your tag library.
See what you have, organize what matters, clean up what no longer belongs and keep your Finder tags manageable as they grow.
Manage Tags is a dedicated environment for the tag system behind your files, across the locations you approve.

Overview first. Then the details.
One window covers the whole library, the structure you give it and the cleanup work that keeps it healthy.

macOS sandboxing means Little Tagger can work only in the folders and volumes you grant access to. You can revoke that access at any time.

In practice
A tag library should get better as it grows.
Little Tagger helps surface the inconsistencies that accumulate over time and gives you the tools to decide how the system should evolve. Nothing is renamed or merged on its own.
