    Discontinued A supercharged version of paperless: scan, index and archive all your physical documents

  • I've been using paperless-ng which is a fork that re-did a LOT from paperless (app included). You should check it out: https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng https://paperless-ng.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ If that is too simple for ya, you can always try Mayan EDMS.

  • Mayan EDMS

    Free Open Source Document Management System (mirror, no pull request or issues)

  • Mayan EDMS might be worth a look. It's actively maintained and developed.

  • Teedy

    Lightweight document management system packed with all the features you can expect from big expensive solutions (by sismics)

  • go-teedy

    A Go client library and CLI for accessing the API of Teedy.

  • I ended up making this tool to do exports and imports for backups / restores: https://github.com/MattHodge/go-teedy

  • Docspell

    Assist in organizing your piles of documents, resulting from scanners, e-mails and other sources with miminal effort.

  • There's also docspell, although I found the deployment a bit cumbersome - I would prefer a single docker image.

  • Papermerge

    Open Source Document Management System for Digital Archives (Scanned Documents)

  • I use Papermerge and have been pretty happy with its capabilities. https://github.com/ciur/papermerge

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
