We have all heard of Tabbles, right? (You know, the terrific file management/tagging program that dotTech has reviewed.) Well, for the next 48-hours, dotTech has teamed up with Yellow blue soft to bring dotTechies Tabbles Home ($29.99) for free!

For those that don’t know, Tabbles is a program that aims to eliminate your file management pains by easily and efficiently tagging files. There are many handy features of Tabbles, such as the ability to multi-tag files, the ability to auto-tag, and powerful tags/files filtering capabilities. However, why talk about it when we can see it in action? The following short video – 1 minute and 19 seconds long and created by the developer – gives a quick introduction to what Tabbles is and what is does:

If you would like to learn more about Tabbles in detail, you can either visit the drop by Tabble’s website, or read dotTech’s full and comprehensive review on it.

Tabbles actually comes in four main editions: Portable ($29.99), Home ($29.99), Business ($69.99), and Corporate ($129.99). [dotTechies can receive 25% off all editions for a limited time!] The following chart, created by the developer, lists the differences between all four editions:

In addition to the four main editions, there is a free edition (limited to tagging 1,000 files) and there are special discounted editions (which have the functionality of Tabbles Home) available for students/teachers/universities ($14.99), and people living in third-world countries ($7.49).

That said, for the next 48-hours dotTechies can grab Tabbles Home completely free! This freebie is a full Tabbles Home license with full functionality of Tabbles Home – there are no limitations on how many files you can tag.
