   This app is a note taker and paperless is a document management system

   Negative comment by DarkestLove · Mar 8, 2025

   Paperless is not a note app... it is document management/storage.

   It allows PDF files to be imported, folders on drives to be watched then for the files to be organised. As long as the PDFs are in the app you will find them. Built in scan support too.

   Finance app/expense tracker vs Document Management.... closer than most that I've seen, though, unfortunately.
