Why I Use It
Physical documents pile up fast — tax forms, insurance paperwork, receipts, manuals, anything that shows up on paper and needs to be kept. Paperless-ngx is where all of that ends up. I scan or import documents and the OCR engine indexes the full text, so finding anything later is just a search rather than digging through folders. The automatic tagging and correspondent detection mean most documents organize themselves without me having to touch them. Going paperless was something I kept putting off, but once it was set up the workflow became second nature.
