# Paperwork - [openpaper.work](https://openpaper.work/)


## Description

Paperwork is a personal document manager. It manages scanned documents and PDFs.

It's designed to be easy and fast to use. The idea behind Paperwork
is "scan & forget": You can just scan a new document and
forget about it until the day you need it again.

In other words, let the machine do most of the work for you.
