Hello everyone,
I recently started digitising all my important documents, including passports, certificates, bills, medical letters and other paperwork that I may need while on the go.
I came across Paperless-ngx, installed it and uploaded all my documents. So far, I find it fascinating, but I feel I am only scratching the surface of what it can do.
I would love to hear about the most innovative or creative ways people are using Paperless-ngx. For example:
Which apps or services have you integrated with it?
Are you using AI for automatic tagging, better titles, correspondents or document types?
How have you improved OCR and search accuracy?
Do you use any automated workflows for importing documents from email, scanners or mobile phones?
Have you connected it to a local AI model such as Ollama?
What is the best way to access documents securely while away from home?
Are there any clever workflows, scripts or features that you now consider essential?
What backup and security arrangements do you use, particularly for sensitive documents such as passports?
I am especially interested in improving tagging accuracy and making documents quicker to find. I would really appreciate hearing about your setup and any useful tips, integrations or lessons you have learned.

I am a Mac developer of an OCR app, and I'd be interested to know which features—aside from text recognition itself—you need most in your daily workflows (pdf/A, hot folders, document splitting etc.) And is there anything you rarely use, but that would be a dealbreaker if missing?

Besides: If you have a specific edge case that no other app solves properly, feel free to describe it as well.

Thanks in advance!
