Paperless-ngx

Paperless-ngx is an open-source document management system that transforms your physical paper documents into a searchable online archive. It uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract text from scanned documents, making every word searchable.

Key features include automatic document tagging using machine learning based on the content of your documents, correspondent and type classification, custom metadata fields, PDF thumbnails, and a clean modern web interface. Documents can be added via the web UI, email, or a watched folder.

Paperless-ngx is a community-maintained fork of the original Paperless and paperless-ng projects, combining the best improvements. It integrates well with document scanners and supports bulk operations. For home users and small offices drowning in paper, it provides a powerful and private alternative to cloud document management services like Google Drive or Dropbox.
