About

Paperless Ingest is the perfect companion app for your Paperless-ngx document management server. Scan paper documents with your iPhone or iPad and upload them directly to your server — with smart metadata detection that makes organizing effortless. SMART DOCUMENT SCANNING Use iOS's built-in document scanner with automatic edge detection, perspective correction, and multi-page support. Just point your camera at a document and let the app do the rest. ON-DEVICE AI ANALYSIS Before uploading, the app analyzes your document entirely on-device: • Title Detection — Automatically finds subject lines in multiple languages (Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish). Looks for keywords like "Subject:", "Onderwerp:", "Betreff:", and more. • Correspondent Matching — Compares detected text against your existing Paperless correspondents and suggests the best match. • Document Type Recognition — Identifies invoices, receipts, contracts, letters, bank statements, tax documents, medical records, and insurance documents. • Date Extraction — Finds and extracts document dates automatically.
