Paperless Less Paper vs MarkCove

Less Paper is a native iOS client for paperless-ngx 3.x and earlier, the self-hosted document archive. It talks directly to your own server, and to nothing else. FIND ANYTHING The complete filter set from the web interface, custom fields included: title and content, correspondent, document type, storage path, tags, dates and ASN. Save any filter as a view, then create, edit and reorder your saved views without leaving the app. EDIT WHERE YOU ARE READING Fix a title, reassign a correspondent, add tags, notes or custom field values from the document itself — one Open menu leads to every section: Content, Custom fields, Details, History, Metadata and Notes, each editable when your account allows it. History lists who changed what and when, the way the web UI shows it. Select several documents and change them together, merge them, or delete them in one go. READ IT WITH NO SERVER IN REACH Save a document offline and it is kept on the device in full — the PDF, its notes, metadata and custom fields. The Offline tab reads those stored copies, so it works on a plane, in a basement, or anywhere your server is not. Pull to refresh and only the documents that actually changed are fetched again. GET DOCUMENTS IN Send anything on your device to paperless-ngx from the share sheet. Password-protected PDFs are unlocked on import, and the password is kept in the keychain so the next document from the same source opens without asking. The inbox then says what became of each one: File Tasks lists every import — which finished, which are still running, and which failed and why — and a failure can be dismissed once you have dealt with it. BUILT FOR REAL SETUPS Connect as many servers as you like and switch between them. Sign in with a password, or with the single sign-on provider your server is configured with. Client certificates, custom HTTP headers and reverse proxies such as Authelia are all supported. A restricted account works too: the app follows your user's permissions and simply does not show what you may not do. When something does go wrong, a local error log — with anything credential-shaped redacted out of it — is there to read and share, and nothing leaves the device unless you send it. KEEP THE ARCHIVE TIDY Create, rename and delete tags, correspondents, document types and storage paths, and set ownership and permissions on any document. Restore anything you deleted from the trash, or empty it for good. Works with every paperless-ngx from 2.15.3 to 3.x. Universal: iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad — on iPad the document opens in a column beside the list rather than covering it. Less Paper is open source.

MarkCove is a free Markdown viewer for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Read tables, syntax-highlighted code, math formulas and Mermaid diagrams in a clean, comfortable layout. MarkCove never edits or saves over your original file. To change a document, open it in a separate text editor. Reading preferences and folder permissions are the only information MarkCove saves. macOS: Select a Markdown file and press Space for a quick preview. Open it in MarkCove when you want a little more room. iOS / iPadOS: Choose a Markdown file from the document browser, including iCloud Drive and supported Files providers. You can also open Markdown documents in MarkCove from Files. MarkCove reads the selected file in place. The outline jumps to headings. Find searches the rendered document; use Command-F with a keyboard. Reading Options adjusts text size, appearance and line width. Markdown rendering, code highlighting, math and diagrams run locally. MarkCove has no account, advertising, analytics or document-upload service. Remote images are blocked by default. If you enable them, the image host can receive your IP address and ordinary network request information. Opening an external link also leaves MarkCove. Your Files provider may independently use the network to retrieve a document. On macOS, Quick Look folder access lasts for the current preview session and may need to be granted again. The app remembers its own folder permissions. Use Allow a Folder inside the preview.
