Receira

Your documents, anywhere.

A fast, native iOS app for your self-hosted Papra server. Scan, upload, search, and read your whole archive from iPhone and iPad — your data never leaves your own server. And it's completely free.

Public beta — installs on any iPhone or iPad, no re-signing. App Store release coming soon.

Tap on iPhone with AltStore or SideStore installed. No app? Copy the source URL:

https://receira.app/altstore.json

EU users: AltStore PAL (the EU marketplace version) requires Apple-notarized apps and won't accept Receira. Install AltStore Classic instead — it works alongside PAL.

On-device intelligence that files your documents for you — nothing leaves your phone.

Optional biometric lock keeps your archive private when your phone isn't in your hands.

Widgets & Control Center

Home & Lock Screen widgets for recent docs, plus an iOS 18 Control Center button to scan in a tap.

Bring your own server

Receira is a client, not a server. You run your own Papra instance (self-hosted, or the hosted version) and connect the app with your server URL. It doesn't store your documents itself — everything stays on infrastructure you control.
