Does anybody have any recommendations for a desktop software that would allow me to organize and search images on my computer via tags? Like a booru or something but offline and just for me lol. My decade-old reference folder is becoming unusable

i'm aware of hydrus (https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/index.html) but don't know what it's like to use
this seems like it might be close to what I'm looking for, if maybe a little bit overkill for my particular use case. I'll admit I was hoping to hear some insight from someone who had actually used programs like this just so I wouldn't have to download and install and test-run like 5 different programs but I suppose I should just bite the bullet and put in the work lol
Thanks for the suggestion!
It doesn't have tags but if you need to do a filename search and didn't want it to take 45 minutes I like using a program called Everything
Everything has been such a lifesaver for searching my computer. wild that windows search doesn’t work even nearly as good
Hydrus seems like its a little more of what you want, but a decent alternative from my quick trial run of it seems to be Tagspaces. It even works generically so you can tag whole folders or non-image files https://www.tagspaces.org/products/lite/
