Papermerge

Document management system for digital archives, GoBD compliance, and long-term storage

Visit Papermerge

Papermerge is a document management system for archiving invoices, receipts and contracts in one searchable place. It is built around GoBD compliance requirements, keeping records unaltered and verifiable for tax audits, with EU data residency and GDPR-compliant storage.

Documents can be tagged with unlimited custom fields per category, including text, numbers, dates and monetary amounts, enabling filtering by supplier, amount, project or due date. Retention rules protect documents for a required period before automatic expiry, and every change is stored as a new version rather than overwriting the original. Page editing tools let you reorder, rotate and split pages after scanning, and an audit log records every action without allowing edits afterward.

Papermerge is currently in a testing phase with solo accounts open for free use; team accounts are planned to follow. Paid plans are scheduled for launch on 11 November 2026, with a free Solo tier, a paid Solo edition for individuals, a Team edition for groups of 2 to 50, and a custom Enterprise edition for larger organizations. Limits apply per account rather than per user.
