DocuMan
A self-hosted document management system for the contracts, invoices, signed agreements, and scanned records you need to find years later — not just last week.
Stop managing long-term documents in File Explorer.
Network shares and folder trees work fine for last week's spreadsheet. They fall apart for the records you need to keep for years — and the documents that matter most become the hardest to find, and the hardest to control who can see.
Documents you can actually find
Full-text search reads inside every PDF, Word doc, spreadsheet, and even scanned image — auto-OCR'd on import. Find any document by what it says, not by what someone happened to name the file.
Access you can actually control
Per-user and per-group permissions, down to the folder or individual document. Active Directory integration so access follows the people, not the share. No more “everyone” on a network drive.
History you can actually trust
Every view, edit, download, and delete is recorded in an immutable audit log. When compliance, legal, or a curious manager asks who saw a document, you have a clean answer.
Everything you need, out of the box.
One installer, one product, every feature included. No add-ons to buy, no “enterprise tier” locked behind a sales call.
File Cabinets & Folders
Organize documents into nested cabinets and folders that mirror how your business actually works.
OCR Processing
Scanned PDFs and image files become fully searchable automatically. Tesseract OCR is bundled in — no extra software to install.
AI Integration
Built-in support for self-hosted on-site AI (Ollama) for full privacy, or cloud AI for maximum capability. Auto-classify, summarize, and extract.
Watch Folders
Point DocuMan at a network share, scanner output, or email drop. New files are picked up, processed, and filed automatically.
Active Directory
Single sign-on against your existing Windows domain. Users and groups stay where they belong — in AD — not duplicated in another system.
Audit Log
Every action against every document is logged. Export, query, retain. Built with HIPAA, SOX, and similar regulatory needs in mind.
