This Linux and Windows app makes managing all your documents easier
If you're a student, writer, or professional juggling documents, this app can help keep you organized.
Paperwork is a free, open-source organization tool that works on both Linux and Windows. It enables users to tag, label, search, and export documents. The software offers features like scanner support, PDF support, OCR, and automatic label guessing for new documents. It's a local-only app, so it doesn't upload documents to third-party servers.
To import files, users can click the Import File(s) button, select the desired files, and click Open. Paperwork then creates copies of the files in the ~/papers directory without altering the originals. Users can add keywords and document properties to each imported file, making them easier to search. The app's power lies in its search functionality, allowing users to search for documents by file name, strings within the document, labels, or dates.
Users can even combine multiple search criteria for more precise results. Installing Paperwork on Windows involves downloading the installer from the official site and following the installation wizard. On Linux, users can install the application via their distribution's package manager or via Flathub.
