Papra is an open-source document management and archiving platform designed to eliminate "document chaos" by centralizing files in a secure, organized, and searchable environment,.

The main features of this tool include:

• Hierarchical Organization: It allows users to group documents into "Organizations," which helps manage files and users at a team or company level,.

• Smart Categorization: Papra uses document tagging to categorize and filter files. Users can also define tagging rules to automatically categorize documents as they are added.

• Efficient Retrieval: The platform features a powerful search functionality designed to find any document—ranging from invoices and spreadsheets to code snippets—in seconds,,.

• Seamless Ingestion: It includes an email ingestion feature, where users can forward emails to a unique address to have their attachments automatically saved as documents within the platform.

• Developer-First Integration: Built for flexibility, it offers a powerful API, webhooks, a CLI, and an SDK to help developers integrate the platform into existing workflows.

• Privacy and Security: All data is protected with industry-standard encryption both at rest and in transit. Additionally, because the software is fully open-source (AGPL-3.0 license), it can be self-hosted, giving users absolute control over their own data,.

• Ethical and Independent Design: The tool is bootstrapped and community-driven, meaning it operates without VC funding or manipulative "dark patterns",. It prioritizes user privacy and does not sell user data.
