MatrosDMS organizes your files the way you think — hierarchical Who × What × Where context tags. Full-text search. AES-256 encryption. Nothing leaves your machine.
Organize documents the way you think — Who × What × Where. Select a context once and everything you drop inside inherits those tags automatically. No per-file labeling. Just a clean timeline.
Apache Lucene powers instant search through PDFs, scanned docs (OCR), and emails. Or query with MQL:
AES-256-CTR encryption for every stored file. Argon2id key derivation. If your disk is stolen, your data is unreadable.
Drop .eml files or configure SMTP. Attachments extracted, indexed, and linked automatically. Built-in Apache James on port 2525.
Every context has a chronological timeline with lifecycle states. Set reminders on folders or documents — never miss a contract renewal.
Heuristic rule engine for automatic sorting. Local AI via Ollama planned — all processing stays on your hardware, always.
Scan, upload, or email documents into the inbox. PDFs, images, .eml and more.
AI and rule engine suggest tags. Confirm or adjust in one click.
Document is encrypted, OCR-indexed and filed in its context.
Full-text search returns results in milliseconds — even years later.
Runs on port 9090. SMTP on 2525, IMAP on 1143.
