What's New in Swift Paperless

1.10.0

June 6, 2026

Redesigned document detail screen The document detail screen has been completely redesigned with clearer metadata and sheet-based editing for tags, correspondent, document type, storage path, dates, ASN, custom fields, and owner. The PDF now pages horizontally with a page indicator, and the full-screen preview adds in-document search and smoother scrolling. You can delete documents from the detail screen, see how many notes a document has, and include the original file when sharing. Multi-column iPad layout The document list and detail screen now use a full multi-column layout on iPad, making much better use of the larger screen. Nested tags The app now supports Paperless-ngx nested (hierarchical) tags. Other Features - Quick add: create a tag, correspondent, or document type on the fly right from the picker - Show your server's configured app title as a friendly name in the server picker and connection settings - Deep links can now open a specific document field for editing - Document cells in the list now show the number of notes a document has - Add a loading indicator to the search bar while results are loading - Renamed "Log out" to "Disconnect" to better reflect what the action does - Improved UI responsiveness when loading large amounts of data - Ready for saved view permissions and the new task API in the upcoming Paperless-ngx v3 Bug Fixes - Show the actual error from your identity provider during OIDC login instead of a cryptic message - Fix OIDC login failing behind some reverse proxies - Fix client-certificate (mTLS) login - Fix a freeze when polling tasks on installations with many pending tasks - Fix the task view briefly showing "no elements" while still loading - Hide the remove-inbox-tag action for documents that don't have inbox tags

Good app

I like this app a lot but i wish that the developer hadn’t buried the document scan function under a couple menus.

Super für mal schnell

Ich finde die App toll, insbesondere weil ich von unterwegs mal eben etwas nachsehen kann.

Heute ist mir aber etwas weniger gutes aufgefallen. Ich hab zwei unterschiedliche Server in der Liste stehen. Bei einem war ich angemeldet, der andere war Ortsbedingt nicht verfügbar. Dann verlor ich zum aktiven auch die Verbindung. Weil sich nichts tat habe ich mich dort ausgeloggt. Nun kommt das Problem: Durch das ausloggen wird der Server aus der Auswahlliste entfernt, neu eingeben geht auch nicht an der Stelle. Also musste ich den zweiten Server auch noch aus der Liste löschen um dann wieder einen hinzufügen zu können.
Hier wäre es nett, wenn es etwas smarter gelöst werden würde.

Works as Intended

The app works how you would expect. The developer is responsive and the app is open source. There is a slight delay when changing menus after adding tags and stuff, but this is no issue. If you use paperless, this app is mandatory for ios.

Super App, bis auf…

Die App ist super und läuft sehr flüssig. Nur eine Sache wurde mit dem Update 1.9.0 „verschlimmbessert“: die Metadaten-Box, die erscheint, wenn man ein Dokument öffnet, lässt sich nun nicht mehr verkleinern. Die Minimieren-Funktion wurde vor nicht allzu langer Zeit eingeführt, worüber ich mich sehr gefreut hatte. Nun nimmt die Box wieder fest ein Drittel des Screens ein (iPhone 13 Mini). Wäre super, wenn die Funktion wieder zurückkommt.

Ansonsten: vielen Dank für diese App und weiter so!

Response from developer

Hi, Das musste ich leider raus nehmen, weil manche User Schwierigkeiten gemeldet hatten, Dokumente zu scrollen. Ich habe keine Lösung gefunden, beides möglich zu machen. Ich will als Nächstes auf jeden Fall an den Screen noch mal ran, und schauen ob ich eine insgesamt bessere Lösung finde.

So convenient with paperless. Better than my scanner!

The user interface works well on the phone. Scan is so convenient. Very well integrated with paperless-ngx.
