Paperless-NGX: Say Goodbye to Paper Documents and Easily Step into the Paperless Era
What is Paperless-NGX?
Paperless-ngx is a document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive. Simply put, it "eats" all your paper documents and turns them into digital versions with intelligent search capabilities.
This project was originally called paperless-ng and has now been upgraded to paperless-ngx, offering more powerful features and a more active community.
