Einfach klasse!

Ich habe einige Apps als companion zu paperless ngx ausprobiert. Von den meisten war ich enttäuscht oder sie haben gar nicht erst funktioniert. Swift Paperless ist da anders, es sieht gut aus, löst sich leicht bedienen, wird aktiv weiter gepflegt und funktioniert einfach klasse.
Ich nutze Paperless beruflich wie privat auf mehreren Servern, und allein schon die Funktion, mehrere Instanzen verwalten zu können ist einfach genial. Einfach ein Dokument übers Teilen-sheet an die App übergeben und auswählen zu welchem Server das Dokument gehen soll… Super.

Absolutely superb!

This is a superb Paperless client. It connects instantly and pulls all my documents super fast. The interface is very modern and clean, and retains much of the look and feel of the actual Paperless web interface.
I noticed that the app description lists “In App Purchases”, but I don’t see any such thing in the app. I mention this because I WANT to pay for this app (no subscriptions, please!)

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks for the kind words! There’s a tip jar in the settings, that’s where the in app purchases are!

Bester Paperless-NGX Client

Meiner Meinung nach der Beste Paperless-NGX Client, sowohl funktionell als auch ästhetisch. Was mir persönlich noch fehlt, ist die Möglichkeit schnell das nächste Dokument der aktuellen Ansicht zu öffnen, so wie die Funktion „speichern & weiter“ in der Web-UI. Wenn ich mehrere Dokumente im Posteingang habe (dafür habe ich eine gespeicherte Ansicht) und diese bearbeiten will, dann ist das in der App leider noch deutlich umständlicher als über die Weboberfläche. Ansonsten alles super umgesetzt👍🏻
