It's perfect! Do you guys already do this?

I open a letter, I take it's picture with FairScan. The FairScan-folder on my android device gets syncthinged to the ingest folder for Paperless-ngx on my "server". Paperless imports it, deletes the file and sets the new documents tag to inbox. I decide if the document goes to the binder for important stuff, or if I just toss it in a binder with all the paper I most likely will never touch again. Next time I look at Paperless, I edit all documents with the inbox tag and remove the tag.

There are companion apps for paperless (like Paperparrot for iOS) that simplify that process even more.

No need for syncthing.

Or “Swift Paperless” on iOS too, at least that’s what I use

Paperparrot is flawless. The dev is also very responsive and helpful.

They also offer a similarly flawless app called Plappa as frontend for your audiobookserver.

Running both, super happy.
