Open Paperless is a self-hosted document management application for scanning, indexing, and archiving paper documents, built as a simplified, home-user-friendly interface on top of Mayan EDMS. The project has been acquired by Mayan EDMS and is no longer actively developed.

Use cases

  • scan and archive paper documents at home
  • run OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable
  • self-host a simple document management system
  • replace filing cabinets with a digital archive
  • manage scanned documents with a lightweight Mayan EDMS alternative

When to choose

  • you want a simpler, home-user-focused UI over Mayan EDMS and accept an unmaintained project
  • you need basic scan, OCR, and archive functionality on Linux

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained or supported document management system
  • you need features beyond basic scanning and archiving
  • you want Windows or Mac support out of the box
