How do I tag the content in my vault?
The vault has no real tags, so put them in the list name instead, like "MIA-260920-L3 — pool day #solo #pool". Pick a short set of tags you will reuse, spell them the same way every time, and keep each name short enough to read on your phone.
Why the name does the tagging
Your vault sorts content into lists, but there's nowhere to add keywords. The list name is the one thing you always see, so it carries the tags.
A good name has three parts:
- The code: who, when and which level, like
MIA-260920-L3. How the code works. - A few words: what it is, so you'd recognise it a year from now ("pool day").
- Hashtags: the type, the place, the outfit, the theme.
MIA-260920-L3 — pool day #solo #pool #summer #outdoors
A starter tag list
One word per tag, lower case, no spaces. Pick from each group, then add your own:
| Group | Examples |
|---|---|
| Type | #solo #duo #photos #video #voice |
| Place | #home #pool #beach #car #outdoors #kitchen |
| Outfit | #dress #sweats #gymwear #uniform #heels |
| Look | #red #black #glasses #curls |
| Theme | #morning #holiday #cosplay #workout |
Your own words matter most. If you film the same pink set every month, give it a tag like #pinkset and use it every time.
Five rules that keep tags useful
- Same spelling every time. #gymwear, never #gymware or #Gymwear.
- Pick singular or plural once. #heel or #heels, then stick with it.
- Three to five tags per name, so the name still fits on a phone screen.
- Most useful tag first. Type, then place, then outfit.
- Keep your tag list in one note on your phone and copy from it, instead of typing tags from memory.
Finding things later
Because every name starts with the code, your lists line up by filming date. To find something, scan for the tag you want: every pool piece says #pool, every solo piece says #solo.
Fixing tags later
When you fix a typo or add a tag, change only the words and the tags. Leave the code part exactly as it is: it's how you track who owns that piece. Why that matters.
Typing names by hand gets old fast. The free vault name builder turns your code, a few words and your tags into a name you can copy.
Other questions people ask
Does the vault have tags?
Not like a social app does. It has lists, so creators put their tags in each list name as hashtags.
How many tags should one piece have?
Three to five. More than that and the name gets cut off on a phone, and the extra tags rarely help you find anything.
Should every creator use the same tags?
No. Start with the common ones, then add your own words for things you film often, like a favourite outfit or a series you repeat.
