Paperless-ngx

Paperless-ngx is the official successor to the original Paperless & Paperless-ng projects and is designed to distribute the responsibility of advancing and supporting the project among a team of people. Consider joining us!

03Community
No endorsements yetNo verified confirmations yet — be the first.
Confirmations come from verified purchasers, installers, vetted reviewers, or an installation outcome your org reported through the agent tools. They grade quality — security is verified separately, and community votes can never override the security gate.
Sign in to confirm — weight comes from verified usage, not vote count.
04Trust Passport
Full passport →0/0 automated components pass. An automated score is never a security guarantee.
This listing is unclaimed, so publisher identity cannot be verified and it stays below the “verified” tier by design — that is a statement about the listing, not about the project’s quality. Our automated scans still ran; a maintainer who claims it unlocks identity verification.
- publisher identity Publisher status verified; 0 verification(s) on file
- malicious pattern scan No known malicious-behavior patterns detected in reviewed content
- capability contract All 0 observed capability reference(s) match the declared manifest
- agent safety scan No injection patterns in agent-readable content
- provenance No release signature or provenance attestation
- behavioral sandbox Not performed in this environment — requires the production isolated runner (docs/sandbox-requirements.md). No untrusted code is ever executed on the application host.
Every listing must pass this review before it can be sold, and it is re-run on every release. Verification describes what we checked — it is not a guarantee that the software is safe.
