Hey everyone!
I am excited to announce the release of Papra, a minimalistic document management and archiving platform. Papra is designed to be simple to use (and deploy) and accessible to everyone. It is a platform for long-term document storage and management, kind like Paperless-ngx but with a fresh new design and a big focus on simplicity.
It's not perfect yet, but I am working hard to improve it and add new features. I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement!
Some of the features include:
- Document management: upload, store, search and tag your documents
- Authentication: user accounts and authentication
- Organizations: create organizations to separate your documents (private, family, colleagues, etc.)
- Email ingestion: send/forward emails to a generated address to automatically import documents (integrated with OwlRelay)
- Content extraction: automatically extract text from images or scanned documents for search
- Standard ui stuff: dark mode, responsive design, etc.
- Self-hosting: host your own instance of Papra using Docker or other methods
- Open source: the project is open-source under the AGPL-3.0 license and free to use
- And more!
I have plans for many more features not yet implemented, such as auto tagging rules, cli/sdk/api, folder ingestion daemon, document sharing/requests, and more, if you want to try it out, a live demo of the platform is available at demo.papra.app (no backend, no account required, client-side local storage only).
As this is a beta release, I am looking for feedback and suggestions for improvement, so please feel free to reach out to me on Discord or GitHub.
