paperless

Introduction

A community-supported supercharged version of paperless: scan, index and archive all your physical documents.

Paperless-ngx is a document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can keep, well, less paper – although I still keep almost all documents in paper form.

Some of it's features are:

  • Performs OCR on your documents, adds selectable text to image only documents and adds tags, correspondents and document types to your documents.
  • Full text search helps you find what you need.
  • Email processing: Paperless adds documents from your email accounts.
  • Machine learning powered document matching.
  • More features can be found on their GitHub repository
