Paperwork is a personal document manager for Linux and Windows that scans, OCRs, indexes, and organizes paper documents. It provides keyword search across scanned PDFs and images via a GTK desktop application.
Use cases
- digitize and organize scanned paper documents
- search text inside scanned PDFs with OCR
- manage personal documents on Linux or Windows
- index and tag scanned receipts and letters
- find a document by keyword instead of browsing folders
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted personal document manager with OCR and full-text search
- you scan lots of paper and need keyword retrieval
- you prefer a GTK desktop app over a web-based DMS
When to avoid
- you need a multi-user enterprise document management system
- you want a web-based or mobile document manager
- you need cloud sync or collaborative editing features
