Archi scans paper, runs OCR and AI metadata extraction entirely on-device (Apple Vision + Gemma), and files it into your self-hosted Paperless-NGX. No cloud — nothing leaves your device. 2.0 adds native iPad & Mac, an offline archive with full-text search, and an AI transparency page.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I self-host Paperless-NGX and wanted to scan and file documents from my phone —
without sending them through anyone's cloud AI. So I built Archi, where the whole
pipeline runs on-device:
📸 Scan (VisionKit) → 🔍 OCR (Apple Vision) → 🧠 AI metadata (Gemma 4 E2B, on-device)
The AI suggests title, correspondent, document type, date and tags. You review
everything, then it uploads to YOUR Paperless server. The only network call is to
your own server — nothing leaves your device.
What's new in 2.0 "Horizon":
• Native iPad & Mac with an adaptive split-view
• Offline archive — read + full-text search your documents with no connection
• "About the AI" transparency page (which model, on-device, no data transfer)
• Redesigned document view + lots of fixes
Requires your own Paperless-NGX instance. $3.99 (US), one-time — no subscription.
I'd love feedback, especially from fellow self-hosters and privacy folks.
Happy to answer anything!
