Never lose a document again.
Paperarchive sorts your paperwork, makes it searchable and reminds you of due dates. Whether you snap it, share it or forward it. Stored securely in Germany.
How it works
Three steps. Wherever your paperwork arrives.
Snap, share or forward
Snap a letter, share a PDF from your mail, or just forward the email. Upload on your computer, automate with the API.
Sorted automatically
Paperarchive reads every document, names it, files it, and picks out the amount and due date.
