About Docspell

Docspell is an open source document organizer built for people drowning in PDFs, scans, and emails. It ingests documents via web upload, email, or a mobile app, then uses machine learning to classify and extract key data like dates, senders, and invoice amounts. The system learns from your corrections over time, so accuracy improves with use.

It runs on Linux using Docker or native installs, with a PostgreSQL or H2 database backend. The stack includes a Scala-based server and an Elm frontend. You can set up custom tags, correspondence lists, and full-text search via Apache Lucene. It also supports OCR for scanned images through Tesseract, making text searchable even in handwritten notes.

Docspell is fully self-hosted under the GPLv3 license, with no cloud dependency or paid tiers. It targets privacy-conscious users, small businesses, and anyone who wants to keep their document data off third-party servers. The project is maintained by a single developer under the name eikek on GitHub.
