Hey StartupBase! 👋 I’m the founder of Paperless-home, and I’m thrilled to share it with you today!
The Why: A few years ago, I was constantly wasting time digging through piles of paper and chaotic digital folders whenever I needed an important document—an invoice, a certificate, a tax receipt. I discovered the open-source project paperless-ngx, and it completely changed my relationship with documents. I could finally find anything in seconds. But there was a catch: setting up and maintaining a server to run it requires technical skills that most people just don't have.
The What: That’s why I built Paperless-home. We handle the hosting, security, and maintenance so you can just enjoy having a powerful, digital archive. With your own Paperless, you can:
📂 Automatically tag and organize documents based on keywords (no more manual sorting!)
🔍 Find any document in seconds using full-text search from your browser or mobile app
🔒 Keep your data private and secure with encrypted communication—no vendor lock-in, and your data stays yours.
The Try-it: We want you to be absolutely sure it's the right fit for you before committing to a plan. That's why you don't even need to create an account to test it out! Head over to our Playground (our live demo server: https://play.paperless-home.com) on the website to experience the interface with pre-imported documents. You can even try scanning directly from your physical scanner or mobile app to see how seamlessly it integrates into your workflow.
I’d love to hear your feedback. What is your current biggest headache when it comes to managing documents? Let me know in the comments! 👇
Amazing. Thank you for sharing this here!
Cool idea!
Cool, been looking for something like that!
looks amazing
@trepeat thank you a lot for your valuable comment. I think you are right about clarifying encryption and access. An update for the landing page will follow soon. As for migration, any existing paperless can be migrated to our managed hosting and we have already done it. You just need to get in touch.
