App you don’t realize you need

I didn’t know I need this app in my life. I host my own paperless on a ugreen nas and expose it via Tailscale. This small app made me scan all my docs and tag them. I don’t take photos of documents anymore. I use this app to scan them with my iPhone camera and upload and tag them to paperless

Incredible app

I’ve loved how integrated and native this app feels and its only gotten better. Developer is also incredibly responsive and helpful with any problems. Thank you!

Best Paperless App So Far

This is by far the best and most feature rich paperless app that I’ve downloaded so far. And I’ve downloaded and used three of them. The whole point of having all your documents scanned in is organization and searchability. This app does that the best. There’s so many configurations that you can do, and it even lets you use your camera to scan an extra documents and save them directly to your server. But the searchability inside the documents and the reliability are what makes it truly pristine. Definitely worth the five dollar price to unlock all the features.

Update: with the advent of AI, could we get an AI assistant like Gemini Notebook where we can ask questions about a particular opened document? It could be an easy integration with Openrouter, where users provide their own API key to enable it, that way it stays free for you. And with models like Ling 3.0 Flash, it’s virtually free for users as well.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! Since version 3.0, Paperless-ngx has built in support for AI which is already supported in Paperparrot. Once that is enabled and set up, Paperparrot will automatically show an AI chat tab and the option to "chat" with individual documents. All of this is routed through your Paperless server and the AI provider you have configured there.

Love it on desktop

I’ve used Evernote for years, but needed an alternative. I’ve started using Paperless-ngx and was looking for an iOS app. Paperparrot works very well on my iPhone, but I was very excited when I found out it was available on MacOS. It works great. Gives me a large format to work with on my desktop. I couldn’t be happier.

Bester paperless-ngx client

Ich nutze Paperparrot jetzt schon über 1 Jahr und bin sehr zufrieden. Für mich ist es einfach so z.B. unterwegs mal schnell ein Dokument zu suchen oder im Zug die inbox etwas zu leeren. Absolute Empfehlung von mir 👍
