Self-Hosted OCR Apps
Optical character recognition reads the text in scans and photos so you can search, copy and index it. These apps run OCR locally, so private letters and financial paperwork never go to an online converter.
BentoPDF
A client-side PDF toolkit you can self-host to merge, edit, convert and secure PDF files without uploading them anywhere.
Karakeep
Save links, notes and images, then let an AI model tag and summarize them. Runs on your own server with local models through Ollama.
Paperless-ngx
A document management system that turns your scanned paper documents into a searchable online archive.
Papra
A minimalist document management and archiving platform for receipts, warranties and other papers you want to find later.
Stirling PDF
Edit, merge, sign, redact, convert and OCR PDFs on your own server without sending documents to outside services.
