Paperless Go Document Scanning app for Android description
Paperless Go is a mobile client for Paperless-ngx, the popular self-hosted document management system.
Manage your documents on the go with a clean, modern interface:
- Browse, search, and filter your document library
- View document details, thumbnails, and PDF previews
- Upload new documents via camera scan or file picker
- Receive shared files from other apps for quick upload
- Manage tags, correspondents, document types, and storage paths
- Edit document metadata and custom fields
- Create and manage custom field definitions
- Dashboard with library statistics overview
- Saved views: create, apply, rename, and delete filter sets
- Workflows: view, toggle, and delete automation rules
- PDF tools: rotate, split, compress, annotate, and redact
- Bulk operations: tag, re-tag, delete, merge, and more
- Biometric authentication for secure access
- Offline-capable with full SQLite caching
- Full-text search with autocomplete
Paperless Go connects to your self-hosted Paperless-ngx server using token-based authentication. You need a running Paperless-ngx instance to use this app.
Note: The F-Droid build does not include Google ML Kit or the Google Play Services-based camera document scanner (both proprietary). Camera scan is replaced by importing existing images via the file/gallery picker, document deskew uses a pure-Dart algorithm, and OCR-based metadata suggestions are disabled.
This app is free and open source software, licensed under AGPL-3.0.
