PaperNext

Improvements • Zoom in the QR scanner: The QR scanner no longer zooms in that far when it starts, so you don't have to hold your phone as far away. You can now set the zoom yourself with the steps in the camera view or by pinching, and the app remembers your choice. • Borderless scans: Scanned pages now fill the PDF edge to edge. The page takes on the scan's shape instead of placing it on an A4 sheet with a white border. • Title when scanning: The title field now starts empty when scanning, so there's no suggestion to delete first. If you leave it empty, the scan is named "Scan from …" as before. Fixes • Tag combinations in search: When you pick several tags in search, you now only get documents that have all of them. The All/Any switch in the filter still lets you search for documents with at least one of the tags. • PDFs open again: If loading a PDF was interrupted, a broken file stayed in the cache and the document couldn't be shown anymore. PaperNext now only keeps fully downloaded files, fetches a damaged copy again automatically and retries short connection errors. • Title when uploading: Picking another file in the upload wizard now keeps a title you typed yourself. The wizard also shows the right icon for PDFs and images.

New features • Push notifications: If you like, PaperNext now lets you know as soon as paperless-ngx has processed a new document, with title and correspondent. It's an optional subscription because it needs a server of its own. The app itself stays free and ad-free. The push server only receives a document number; your phone loads the title straight from your server. Requires paperless-ngx 3.0, switch it on under Settings › Notifications.

New features • Receipt scanner: Digital receipts can now be filed from their QR code: if the code leads to a PDF or image, PaperNext downloads it and adds it as a document, optionally with fixed tags. You'll find it in the plus menu on the home screen. • Customizable toolbar: You now decide which shortcuts sit at the top of the home screen and in which order, e.g. scanner, upload or receipt with a single tap. • Scan ASN labels: Scan the ASN label on a paper original and PaperNext opens the matching document right away, even offline. You'll find the scanner at the top of the search or as a toolbar shortcut. • Analytics on the home screen: The new analytics widget shows charts and figures about your archive: new documents per month, amounts from a monetary field (e.g. your expenses), documents per year and the most used types, tags, correspondents or storage paths. You choose what is shown. Turn it on under Home › Customize. Improvements • Tidier settings: Settings are now split into categories like Account, Appearance or Security instead of one long list. • Rate and recommend: Instead of the beta feedback page you can now rate PaperNext in the store or recommend it to friends under Help & Info. A small hint about it shows up once after a few days.

New features • Client certificate in settings: You can now switch or re-import the client certificate (mTLS) in the settings after setup, e.g. when it expires. No new server login needed. Improvements • Year on older documents: Dates from previous years now always show the year in the list, so April 16, 2001 and 2022 no longer look the same. • Sharper scans: Scanned pages now go into the PDF without being compressed again, which improves text recognition on the server. The “JPEG quality” slider in the scan settings now actually takes effect. Fixes • Opening URL fields: Links in custom fields now open reliably, even without a leading “https://”. You can also select and copy the address. • Messages on iOS 26: Notifications at the bottom of the screen are no longer hidden behind the tab bar. • Tag suggestions visible: When editing a document, the suggestions for tags and other fields were hidden behind the keyboard, especially on iOS. The list now moves above the keyboard. • Relative date filters in views: Saved views with date filters from the web UI such as “Within 1 month” or “Previous quarter” now filter correctly in the app. Before, the filter was ignored and all documents showed up.

New features • iPhone Duo: The app adapts to both the outer and the inner display. Unfold the phone and an open document moves straight into the split view, fold it and you continue right where you were. • Native iOS design: On iOS 26 the app uses the native Liquid Glass bars. On the iPhone Duo, actions and navigation sit in the side bar, just like in Apple's own apps. Improvements • Quick upload by default: Files are now uploaded right away, including via "Upload Document". If you'd rather set title, tags and so on first, turn on "Upload with details" in the settings. • Year in the list: You can now turn on showing the year for dates in the document list in the list settings, e.g. "Oct 12, 2025". • Tag filter: all, any, exclude: Multiple tags are now combined with AND like in the web UI, switchable to "any". Tapping a selected tag excludes it. • Several tags when scanning: In the scan settings you can now pick several tags that every scan gets automatically. Fixes • Client certificates (mTLS): The app now actually sends the imported client certificate to the server. Please import existing certificates once more. • Sync error with custom fields: Fixes "table custom_fields has no column named choices": columns missing from older updates are added automatically on start. • Search no longer drops characters: Typing in the document search sometimes lost letters. The search also waits until you pause briefly. • Way back after a failed sync: If the first sync after signing in fails, you can now go back to the sign-in screen, e.g. to fix custom headers. • Languages in the App Store: The app now declares all five languages to iOS, so permission prompts appear translated too. • View from onboarding: The grid view chosen during onboarding is now saved. Before, the app sometimes fell back to the list. • Sync dialog easier to read: Success, warning and error messages in the sync dialog now use strong, readable colors, also in dark mode.

New features • Upload queue: Scans and uploaded files are no longer lost without a connection. They are kept on the device and uploaded automatically once you're back online. • Export offline data: In the settings under "Storage" you can back up all documents stored on the device, including tags, correspondents and other metadata, as a ZIP file. • Protection against data loss: If the server suddenly reports far fewer documents than are on the device, the app stops syncing and asks you instead of deleting the local copies. • Faster editing: The document view now has a pencil button to edit directly, and long-pressing a document in the list or inbox offers "Edit". Improvements • Tags and thumbnails: In the list settings you can choose how many tags are visible per document (up to all of them) and show enlarged thumbnails. • Smoother scrolling: Document cards now have their final size right away and thumbnails are no longer reloaded all the time, so the list doesn't jump while scrolling. • Clearer history: The history now shows which user made a change and displays changes readably as "old → new". • Connection detection: The app now checks whether you're online using the device itself instead of a request to Google. That protects your privacy and also works on networks without internet access. Fixes • Saved views on paperless-ngx 2: Since version 0.6, saved views no longer showed up on servers running paperless-ngx 2. Fixed. • Wrong preview: If two documents had the same title, date and correspondent, the preview could show the other document. Fixed. • Duplicate upload when sharing: On Android, a shared file was sometimes uploaded again on the next app start. Fixed. • History loading forever: Without permission for the history, the spinner kept turning forever. Now you get a notice, and the right user is shown instead of "System". • Saved view filters: Filters such as "content contains", full-text search, "has all tags" or "no correspondent" now work like in the web interface. The dashboard count matches the list again. • View stays active: After opening a saved view, its filters stayed active in Documents and the inbox. Fixed. • Users without a name: Users without first and last name (e.g. API or admin accounts) appeared blank in selection lists. The username is shown now. • Feedback by email: On some Android devices "Send Email" in the feedback dialog didn't open a mail app. If it still doesn't work, you can now copy the address. • Sync interval: A changed auto-sync interval only showed up after reopening the settings, and "Auto-sync on startup" wasn't saved. Fixed. • Logging out: Logging out now also removes offline changes that haven't been uploaded yet, so they can't end up in the next account.

Fixes • Duplicate upload when sharing: Documents sent to the app via the share function could be uploaded twice. Fixed.

Fixes • Dashboard sort order fix: Saved views on the dashboard were no longer filtered and sorted correctly on paperless-ngx 3 servers. Fixed.

New features • paperless-ngx 3 support: The app now speaks the new API version 10 of paperless-ngx 3 and automatically detects whether your server runs version 2 or 3. Both remain supported. • Live updates: With paperless-ngx 3 and username/password login, server changes are pushed to the app instantly – new, changed and deleted documents appear without manual refreshing. • Offline editing: Document edits and deletions now work without a connection. They are stored locally and transferred automatically once the server is reachable again. • Tag hierarchy: On paperless-ngx 3, tags can be assigned to a parent tag. The hierarchy is shown as a path when selecting tags. • Document versions: On paperless-ngx 3 the document view lists all file versions. New versions can be uploaded, old ones deleted. • Rotate and reprocess: Documents can be rotated or re-OCRed on the server directly from the app. Improvements • Much faster sync: Synchronization now only downloads documents that actually changed, metadata syncs in parallel and duplicate downloads are gone. This saves time and data, especially for large archives. • Dependencies updated: The libraries used by the app were bumped to newer versions. This keeps the app current and improves stability and security. Fixes • Gestures in the PDF preview: In the document view the PDF could not be panned or zoomed reliably because the swipe gesture switched tabs instead. Switching tabs now only happens via the tab bar, so zooming and panning in the PDF work as expected. • Custom field filters with "exists": Saved views with conditions like "field exists = false" or multiple conditions on the same field were evaluated incorrectly and showed 0 results. The app now evaluates these filters the same way the web UI does. • Rotated documents kept showing portrait: After rotating, reprocessing, or uploading a new version, the app kept showing the old cached thumbnail and preview PDF. The local cache is now cleared as soon as a document changes on the server, so the current version is displayed.

New features • Edit OCR text directly: The recognized text of a document can now be edited directly in the content tab of the document view. Improvements • Edit & delete in menu: The two action buttons in the document detail view have been combined into a compact menu. • Scan workflow simplified: Single and multi-page scans have been merged and are now easier to access. Multi-page scans automatically appear in the appropriate preview. • Owner in edit mode: The owner of a document can now be changed directly in the edit screen - just like correspondent, document type and other metadata. • Document view redesigned: The first tab now shows the PDF directly in an embedded viewer. Document info like filenames, dates, and page count can be found in the metadata tab. Share, download, and open are accessible from the menu. • Scanner metadata: Title, creation date, correspondent, and tags can now be configured directly on the scanner screen before starting the scan. Fixes • Custom header add button: A UI bug in the custom headers screen prevented adding more than one header. • Filter without document type: Saved views with the "No document type" filter are now applied correctly. Additionally, the filter sheet now allows filtering for documents without an assigned type.

Fixes • Parallel synchronization: Multiple simultaneous sync operations could interfere with each other. New sync requests now wait for the running sync to finish instead of starting a second one.

New features • Relative date filters: Saved views with relative dates like 'Last week' or 'This month' are now supported. Improvements • Session handling improved: Improved behavior for expired sessions. • Password manager support: Login fields are now correctly recognized by password managers. • Clearer login method: Switched to segment button for better distinction between password and API token. Fixes • Tablet view fixed: Layout issues on tablets have been fixed. • Tag filter fixed: Exclude tags now works correctly.

Fixes • Select fields: Fixed an issue where Select custom fields could not be saved when editing a document.

New features • Custom Fields in Labels: Custom Fields can now be created, viewed, edited, and deleted under Labels. Improvements • Improved UI: The user interface for Home, Documents, Labels, and Inbox has been improved.

Fixes • Inbox shows incorrect documents: Fixed a faulty filter that caused the inbox to display too many documents.

New features • Biometric Lock Grace Period: New configurable delay before re-authentication is required after switching apps. Prevents annoying unlock prompts when briefly using other apps like the ML Kit scanner. • Configurable Auto-Sync Interval: The automatic background sync can now be set to an interval (1-30 minutes or disabled). After document changes, sync runs immediately on the next app start. Improvements • Screenshot Protection: Screenshot protection prevents screenshots and screen recording. Enabled by default, can be disabled in security settings. Works on Android and iOS. • New PDF Viewer: The integrated PDF viewer has been switched to pdfrx and now allows copying content. • Redesigned Sync System: The synchronization system has been completely redesigned. A new background indicator shows progress during app usage. Fixes • Saved views display: Fixed display issue with missing saved views in the document list. • Default sorting not saved: Fixed an issue where the default sorting setting (e.g. 'Added Date') was reset to 'Created Date' after restarting the app. • Download indicator on cold start: Fixed an issue where all documents were incorrectly shown as 'not downloaded' when opening the app. • Saved views with combined tag filters: Saved views with 'Has Tag' AND 'Does Not Have Tag' filters are now applied correctly.

Improvements • Redesigned filter interface: The user interface for setting filters has been redesigned. Tags, correspondents, owners, and document types can now be fully listed and selected more conveniently. • Improved list and grid view: Both views have been enhanced: The grid view now displays document titles, tags, and custom fields. The list view has been made more compact. Fixes • Metadata display in grid view: Fixed an issue where metadata such as tags or custom fields were not displayed correctly in the grid view. • Search suggestions close correctly: The search suggestions dropdown now reliably hides once a suggestion has been selected.

New features • Filter: No Owner: Documents without an assigned owner can now be filtered specifically. Improvements • Google ML Kit Scanner (Android): New scanner on Android with automatic edge detection, filters and AI-powered stain removal. • Apple VisionKit Scanner (iOS/iPadOS): Native document scanner on iOS and iPad with automatic edge detection and perspective correction. • Extended Offline Mode: Choose between Auto-Sync (all documents automatically) or Manual (only selected documents). • Version number copyable: The version number can now also be copied by tapping on it in the About screen.

Fixes • Scanner preview: Improved the design of the upload buttons and fixed a display error in the page count.

Improvements • Improved Upload Screen: Search and create functionality for correspondents, document types, tags and storage paths directly in the upload wizard. Fixes • Saved Views Display Fixed: Saved views are now correctly displayed in the document filter when navigating from the dashboard. • Offline mode: Reliable opening despite missing thumbnails: Fixed an issue where missing or partially loaded thumbnails prevented offline-stored documents from opening. Thumbnails are now stored consistently, and existing offline documents are updated on the next sync.

Fixes • Saved Views: Multiple Document Types: When multiple document types were defined as filters in a saved view, PaperNext only considered the first entry. This issue has been fixed, and all selected document types are now correctly applied.

New features • Offline Mode: Documents can optionally be stored offline. Improvements • Custom Filter OR/AND Linking: Custom Field Filters in Saved Views now support OR and AND linking. • Improved Filter Display: Optimized color display of the filter bar for better readability in Dark Mode. • Improved Pull to Refresh: Pull to Refresh now works more reliably and synchronizes data consistently. • Improved Action Bar: Redesigned document list toolbar with better icons and two-line layout for improved usability.
