copilot-swe-agent[bot] a59cff4cad docs: simplify roadmap for individual users and SMBs, remove ALL paid services
CRITICAL CHANGES per Director's feedback:
1. Removed enterprise features (multi-tenancy, compliance, blockchain, AR/VR)
2. Eliminated ALL paid services (project is 100% FREE)
3. Roadmap now focuses on individual users and small businesses (PYMEs)

EPICs simplified from enterprise to user-focused:
- EPIC 7: "Advanced Analytics" → "Basic Personal Statistics" (8 tasks vs 13)
- EPIC 9: "Multi-Tenancy (SaaS)" → "UX Improvements" (12 tasks)
- EPIC 10: "Compliance (ISO/DOD)" → "Simple Sharing & Permissions" (12 tasks)
- EPIC 11: "Blockchain" → "User Documentation" (7 tasks)
- EPIC 12: "AR/VR" → "Stability & Bug Fixes" (5 tasks)

Paid services REMOVED:
-  Zapier ($19.99/month) - replaced with FREE Python script
-  Make/Integromat ($9/month) - removed completely
-  Google Play ($25 one-time) - use F-Droid (free) instead
-  Apple Developer ($99/year) - Android-only via F-Droid + direct APK
-  Stripe billing - not needed (no SaaS)

Cost reduced: $165k-$250k/year → $0/year 

Updated files:
- ROADMAP_2026.md: 147→145 tasks, user-focused, $0 cost
- NOTION_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md: Removed Zapier/Make sections, only free GitHub Actions
- RESUMEN_ROADMAP_2026.md: Updated to reflect user focus and $0 cost
- ROADMAP_INDEX.md: All references to paid services removed
- BITACORA_MAESTRA.md: New session logged

Project is now 100% FREE open source with NO paid services

Paperless-ngx

Paperless-ngx is a document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can keep, well, less paper.

Paperless-ngx is the official successor to the original Paperless & Paperless-ng projects and is designed to distribute the responsibility of advancing and supporting the project among a team of people. Consider joining us!

Thanks to the generous folks at DigitalOcean, a demo is available at demo.paperless-ngx.com using login demo / demo. Note: demo content is reset frequently and confidential information should not be uploaded.

This project is supported by:

Features

A full list of features and screenshots are available in the documentation.

Getting started

The easiest way to deploy paperless is docker compose. The files in the /docker/compose directory are configured to pull the image from the GitHub container registry.

If you'd like to jump right in, you can configure a docker compose environment with our install script:

bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/main/install-paperless-ngx.sh)"

More details and step-by-step guides for alternative installation methods can be found in the documentation.

Migrating from Paperless-ng is easy, just drop in the new docker image! See the documentation on migrating for more details.

Documentation

The documentation for Paperless-ngx is available at https://docs.paperless-ngx.com.

Contributing

If you feel like contributing to the project, please do! Bug fixes, enhancements, visual fixes etc. are always welcome. If you want to implement something big: Please start a discussion about that! The documentation has some basic information on how to get started.

Related Projects

Please see the wiki for a user-maintained list of related projects and software that is compatible with Paperless-ngx.

Important Note

Document scanners are typically used to scan sensitive documents like your social insurance number, tax records, invoices, etc. Paperless-ngx should never be run on an untrusted host because information is stored in clear text without encryption. No guarantees are made regarding security (but we do try!) and you use the app at your own risk. The safest way to run Paperless-ngx is on a local server in your own home with backups in place.
