Built for home, not for a records department

Powerful where it counts. Quiet everywhere else.

Stay in control

Your archive, your storage

Keep originals on local disk, S3-compatible storage, or WebDAV. Jiandu never requires a hosted account.

Find it again

Search without the filing ceremony

Browse by familiar metadata, search document text, and let approved household rules take care of repeated corrections.

Recover with confidence

Designed for the bad day

Resumable intake, verified backups, durable work, and explicit health checks make failures visible and recoverable.

A straightforward rhythm

From scattered files to a dependable archive.

Start with the safe local setup. Add storage, remote access, sign-in providers, or capture sources only when your household needs them.

Follow the first-run guide →
  1. 01
    Bring documents in

    Upload from the browser, watch a folder, scan, import from email, or migrate a reviewed Paperless export.

  2. 02
    Review what matters

    Jiandu preserves the original first, then shows the title, sender, kind, tags, and processing state you can actually act on.

  3. 03
    Find and share safely

    Search the household library, restrict exceptional documents, and keep the owner recovery path separate from daily access.

New to Jiandu

Start small and see a working library.

Choose an install path, complete the first sign-in, and add one document before changing advanced settings.
