Archiv

Archiv is an Android document scanner. It uses the phone camera to capture paper pages, then stores them as an organised collection rather than as loose images in the gallery. Documents can be labelled with tags, which gives the archive a flat, multi-axis structure instead of a single folder tree: a receipt can sit under both a year and a category without being duplicated. Retrieval is handled by a search function described as fast, aimed at pulling a specific item out of a large pile.

The app comes from Arman Maurya and is licensed GPL-3.0-only. It is listed for Android alone, so capture and lookup both happen on the handset; nothing here indicates a desktop client or a sync service for reaching the same archive from another machine. The available details also do not state whether text inside scans is recognised, which formats scans are exported to, or where files are kept on the device, so those points are worth confirming for a records-keeping workflow.
