I've amassed probably thousands of GPS routes over the years. Most are my past rides in Strava, but some are "planned" in Komoot or Ride With GPS or I've downloaded other riders rides from Strava.
Anyway, I don't have a good solution to search or find previous ride/planned rides. All the apps offer a long list I can page back thru and if I've been clever enough to re-name Strava rides, I might be able to match by name.
I pay for VeloViewer so can see all the Strava rides on a map which is definitely helpful
So does anyone have a solution for "cataloging" GPX files (possibly from different sources) plus maybe tagging or searching by attributes (eg MTB, gravel or road, or find based on length or climbing or duration or other items)?

Golden Cheetah but you have to go through and tag them all in the first place. But you can filter without tagging of course, by activity, season, length, max heart rate - if you like - or any other stat. It also supports R if you want to code stuff up.
Can you do any scripting with python or whatever?
Pull the first GPS location from the file and do a lookup of the location. It was a good while ago but I did some googly stuff feeding their maps API a GPS and it returned a closest address, pick the right level, like town or county, and the date from the GPS and rename the file.
I've done something similar in Python on our new club website, people upload GPX files and I group them by the cafes they pass. This is mainly as we normally base our club rides around cafes which are in the windward direction, so you can pick a cafe and then get offered a set of routes which pass that cafe.
Wasn't very hard to do in Python...

I use memory map to catalog routes and tracks that I want to refer back to.
The gpx live in a maps folder, but mmap allows you to provise a list of them as routes or tracks. Also useful for saving POI such as SDW taps etc.
don't bother saving all my strava this way as lots of duplication
Hmmm, not what I was thinking of!
I was hoping there'd be an app which I could link to my Strava/Komoot/RwGPS accounts plus allow me to manually upload GPX and show everything on a map and allow me to zoom/pan and search/filter.
I'll take a look at Golden Cheetah though
You can search your strava training log by name on the phone app. Assumes you have given everything a descriptive name to be able to triage the search.
Otherwise the Veloviewer map seems to do a pretty good job of showing your activities on a map and being able to then find the one your looking for
If it is on Strava you can use

I use this a fair bit and it would be nice to see it integrated into Strava. A heatmap is good but an interactive one much better.

thanks @jonba - that is a cool site
Just looking at the veloviewer mapping, and that also includes any pics included in the strava record in correct location. I think i'm going to keep using that as also has all the slice and dice to select data
Google Maps? Google My Maps allows you to add GPX files as layers onto one map.
I'm not clear how you could get them off Strava etc though.
Following this thread with interest.
I used to use Viewranger for cataloguing GPXs as well as navigation. Having all my past routes and tracks there for reference is really useful, though I've never made much effort to organise them... They're all named with the date at the start, and I sometimes used types (MTB, road cycling, walking, etc.) in VR.
Since Viewranger became Outdooractive, this has got more difficult for a couple of reasons. You can only import routes, not tracks (well, they import as routes, so you lose all the time data). The app is frustratingly slow, 10s of seconds to load some pages, so renaming or recategorising a track takes a minute of load track list, select track, edit, make changes, save, load track list again. Sod doing that for several hundred tracks.
