## What it is
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

## Facets
