About Paperless Go

Paperless Go is an Android client for managing documents on a user’s self-hosted Paperless-ngx server. It can browse, search, and filter the document library, show details and PDF previews, and upload new files from the camera or file picker. Documents shared from other apps can also be sent for upload. Users can edit metadata, tags, correspondents, document types, storage paths, and custom fields, and create or manage custom field definitions. The app provides saved views for reusable filters and a dashboard of library statistics. Workflows can be viewed, toggled, or deleted. PDF tools include rotation, splitting, compression, annotation, and redaction; bulk operations include tagging, deleting, and merging. Full-text search includes autocomplete, and the local SQLite cache supports offline access to previously loaded information. Paperless Go connects to a running self-hosted server using token authentication. Some builds may differ in document scanning and OCR-related features; the supplied description notes that one build relies on file import rather than a proprietary camera scanner and disables OCR metadata suggestions. Biometric authentication can protect access. The app is a mobile client and requires the user to operate a compatible server.
