Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as Teedy.

  • Paperless-ngx

    Turns scanned paper into a searchable archive: OCR, automatic tagging, full-text search and a web interface you host yourself.

    Paperless-ngx adds automatic tagging that learns from your choices, but it is realistically deployed with Docker Compose and runs on Linux rather than offering Windows or macOS builds.

  • Mayan EDMS

    Mature open-source document management system with workflows.

    Mayan EDMS adds workflows, metadata and permissions that Teedy lacks, but it expects several services running and is heavier to operate for personal use.

  • OpenKM Community

    Open-source document management with workflows, OCR and search.

    OpenKM Community brings a workflow engine and metadata model for business documents, though its Java stack is heavy to deploy and the free edition trails the paid ones.

  • LogicalDOC Community

    Community edition of a document management system with search and APIs.

    LogicalDOC Community offers versioning, access control and REST and SOAP APIs, but OCR and workflow are reserved for paid editions and the Java stack needs more resources.
