## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ocr, pdf, search-engine, file-upload
- domain: self-hosted, developer-tools, files, pdf
- platform: self-hosted, python
- tags: document-management, paperless-office, scanning, home-users, mayan-edms, linux, web-server
