Papra is a minimalistic, self-hostable document management and archiving platform for long-term storage and retrieval of documents. It offers full-text search, tagging rules, OCR content extraction, email and folder ingestion, and an API/SDK/CLI.

Use cases

• self-host a personal document archive
• store and search receipts and warranties
• automatically import documents from email or a folder
• extract searchable text from scanned documents
• organize documents with tags and custom rules
• manage shared documents across an organization

When to choose

• you want a simple, self-hosted alternative to paperless-style DMS
• you need email or folder-based automatic document ingestion
• you want OCR-backed full-text search over stored documents
• you need an API, SDK, webhooks, or CLI to build on top of your archive

When to avoid

• you need heavy enterprise records-management or compliance workflows
• you want a fully managed cloud service without self-hosting
• you need rich document editing or collaborative authoring rather than archiving
