Everything in one workspace

One place for every document.

Find anything in seconds, share it safely, and let Pal do the managing.

EU sovereign AI, built in

A private assistant that runs entirely inside the EU. Ask it to find documents, summarize them, fill forms from your archive, and draft emails. Your documents are never sent to OpenAI, Google, Microsoft (Azure), or any other Big Tech company.

Ask Pal anything about your documentsLet Pal compose an email

Email it, scan it, sync it

Email documents in, drop them from your phone, scan whole stacks, or connect your cloud so new files flow in automatically. Whatever the source, everything lands in one place and is sorted on arrival.

Search that reads inside your files

Full-text search and tag search find any document in seconds, even inside old scans.

Search documents

Share a link, not your data

Share documents with a link that stays valid for a limited time. Even the Individual plan includes a second user, so an accountant or lawyer sees only the documents you choose.

Text, tables, charts, formulas

Every upload goes through OCR that extracts text, tables, chart values, and even formulas. Scanned paper becomes a searchable, structured document you can ask Pal about.

Speaks your language

The interface is available in 43 languages, so everyone works in the one they know best.

Isolated European hosting

No Big Tech. Every file is stored redundantly across separate European data centers.

Your own secure domain

A private, hardened instance just for you. Passwordless login with YubiKey and passkeys.

yourname.paless.eu

Every document you own, in one private workspace.

Search, sharing, signing, and a sovereign assistant that files the paperwork for you, all in one instance you control. A single pledge on Kickstarter secures the whole workspace at Founder's Pricing.

Radical resilience

Built to survive attacks, failures, and audits.

Building an EU sovereign fortress that protects you legally and technically is expensive. Most startups skip independent audits to save money. We are doing the opposite.

Grey-box penetration testing

We are paying ethical hackers to attack paless with insider-level access, as if they had already slipped past the outer walls.

Chaos engineering

We will inject real failures, from killed servers to severed network links and simulated ransomware, proving your data stays available and encrypted.

GDPR legal review

We are commissioning a specialist data-privacy law firm to stress-test our data processing agreements and deletion processes under strict EU law.

IDW PS 880 audit

We are funding an official IDW PS 880 software audit, so you can prove to a tax auditor that your archive supports GoBD requirements.

Effortless migration

Move in without losing a thing.

Whether you bring 10 documents or 10,000, we've automated the heavy lifting. Your files land in isolated, EU sovereign data centers, completely free from Big Tech.

Your migration doesn't count against your monthly quota during your first 30 days. This covers up to 5,000 documents, and our support team will find a solution for larger archives.

Paperless-ngx

If you self-host paperless-ngx today, your whole archive moves over in one .zip upload.

Everything arrives intact
Upload your standard .zip export and every tag, correspondent, and document date imports with perfect accuracy.
No Docker, no updates, no backups
Keep the full intelligence of the paperless-ngx engine while we run it for you.
No lock-in
You can export your data back to a self-hosted instance at any time. Your sovereignty, our management.

Cloud storage

Connect the cloud you already use and your documents flow into paless on their own.

Automatic sync
New files are imported as they appear in your cloud. No manual uploads, no drag-and-drop.
Folders become tags
We respect your existing logic. Folder names become tags automatically, so your organization survives the move.
Bring years at once
Even a decade of files moves in one go. Imports during your first 30 days don't count against your monthly quota.
Leave Big Tech behind for good
Your files move directly into isolated European data centers. No AWS, no Google Cloud, no Microsoft (Azure). Your documents finally have a home that is 100% independent and sovereign.

The Shoebox

Stop moving that box of “important papers” from one shelf to another. We hand you the blueprint for digitizing it, from scanner settings to one-touch presets.

Batch scanning
Slip our QR separator sheets between documents and scan the whole stack in one go. The dividers tell paless where to split, and each document becomes its own file.

Turn years of physical clutter into a lean, searchable digital library in a single weekend.
