I am looking to scan all the documents that I need, but do not need the originals of.

The built in Notes app offers pretty good scanning functionality, but exporting/syncing to non-Apple devices is a nightmare.

I’ve heard about the Paperless-ngx document managment software. Does this software (or some similar alternative) have an iOS app that would make scanning hundreds/thousands of documents easy and streamlined?

What is your setup for:

  1. Scanning
  2. Organizing
  3. Accessing

​

Thanks

      I use genius scan as well. Never paid for it. I can scan in bulk and export as a pdf.

      If you have other use cases, this might not be the best. But there’s a lot more paid features.

    What is your issue with exporting from Notes? Docs scanned are still PDFs and easily shareable/exportable with one click with Airdrop/email etc. And I find the indexing excellent, so I drop everything into Notes now and forget about it, and when I need something, a simple search pulls it right up.

    1. Scanning: Nextcloud built in scanner is really good (iOS app)
    2. Organizing: I have been searching this for a long time
    3. Accessing: NextCloud?
