Paperless One

Paperless One is aimed at people who want receipts, notes, and other loose documents out of folders and into a scanning-and-storage workflow. By our assessment, the appeal is the plain promise of a paperless routine: capture, file, search, and stop losing things in a pile. That kind of app is only good if the scanning, tagging, and retrieval are dependable, because the whole point is finding a page later without thinking hard. The trade-off is that it asks for some discipline up front; if documents are dumped in carelessly, the system turns into another messy drawer. In practice, these tools feel best when they are used a little at a time, not as a heroic cleanup project. It sits beside the more familiar document-scanner and file-archive apps, and the Astrina catalogue puts Paperless One in Productivity.
