ZeroPaper organizes scans, PDFs, photos, and office files into a self-hosted document library with OCR, search, and optional AI features.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-27 issue.

For: People organizing household or work documents on their own server
Worth noticing: Research answers cite documents and show their steps; the example calculates a $250 out-of-pocket hail-repair cost.

Field notes

The page describes both manual uploads and watched-folder imports, with a review inbox for low-confidence metadata, possible duplicates, blank pages, and processing errors. Search combines Postgres full-text indexing with embeddings calculated locally, while the Research example shows intermediate steps and document citations. The listed AI options include hosted providers and Ollama, and the site says AI can be turned off entirely.
