Release list
Paper In 0.4.2 beta
- New PDFs include locally recognized, searchable text, even with AI filing off. Other PDF readers and text extraction tools can read it without running OCR themselves.
- Long receipts use overlapping recognition strips to retain text near both ends and across strip boundaries. Scanned images keep their resolution, appearance, page size and rotation.
- Recognition runs during the existing background save. Synthetic 5/10/15-page saves took approximately 3/5.3/7.7 seconds on the development Mac, with main-loop gaps no larger than 25 ms; timings vary by machine and document.
- AI filing still measures scan recognition confidence, rather than treating embedded OCR text as perfectly reliable.
Recognition can make mistakes on faint text, handwriting and unusual layouts. Check the scanned image for important details. Previously saved PDFs are unchanged. Hardware support remains limited to the Brother DS-940DW.
Download the DMG below, open it and drag Paper In into Applications. Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later. The app and disk image are Developer ID signed, notarized by Apple and stapled.
Paper In 0.4.1 beta
Paper In 0.4.1 makes longer documents easier to edit and gives you control over the saved-document list.
- Cached previews load in the background; PDF export and history refresh no longer block the interface.
- Start over clears the current draft with confirmation while retaining recovery sources.
- Dismiss from list and Clear list hide saved-document entries without deleting PDFs. Use Show dismissed to restore them.
- PDFs deleted or moved in Finder are marked missing. Deleted queued documents are not recreated automatically.
- Review requests explain the reason. Separate purchases from the same vendor can file automatically when the other confidence checks pass.
Validated with 98 offline checks, mounted native UI tests on 5-, 10- and 15-page documents, and a 1,000-document history. On the development Mac, a 15-page PDF saved in about 1.24 seconds in the background. These synthetic checks do not replace hardware compatibility testing.
Download the Apple Silicon DMG below. Requires macOS 14 or later and the supported Brother DS-940DW setup described in installation instructions. The app and DMG are Developer ID signed, notarized by Apple and stapled. Validation evidence.
Known limitation: after force-quitting during a scan, Start over may stay blocked until another capture completes. Saved pages and originals remain retained.
Paper In 0.4.0 beta
Paper In for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later, with Brother DS-940DW support.
- Open the DMG and drag Paper In into Applications.
- Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple. Both the app and disk image carry stapled notarization tickets.
- Includes Node and the official Claude/Codex runtimes. Scanning needs no AI account; optional filing uses your own provider account or API key.
- Existing drafts live separately from the app and are retained when replacing it.
This is a beta. Scanner behavior is unchanged from 0.3.9. USB is the primary supported transport; Wi-Fi, Auto paper, long receipts and blank-page detection retain the documented hardware limitations. PDFs do not yet include a searchable text layer.
Validation: 91 offline tests; copied DMG app signature, ticket, Gatekeeper and distribution-policy checks; 6,041 upstream dependency files byte-identical; bundled Node 22.23.2; native controller → local OCR → live Codex → filing → Undo with a fictional invoice.
Independent Claude Opus review found no release-blocking defects. The hosted download was verified: matching checksum, valid notarization ticket, and Gatekeeper acceptance.
The .sha256 file lets you verify the downloaded DMG with shasum -a 256 -c Paper-In-0.4.0-arm64.dmg.sha256 from the folder containing both files.
