Local-first document management

AlexandriaDMS

Find, understand and file documents correctly.

One searchable library across local folders, NAS, servers and paper archives—without forced migration.

The real problem

Your documents exist. Just not where you look for them.

Digital files and paper do not disappear—but their context gets lost. Alexandria makes existing records clear and findable again.

Scattered everywhere

Invoices, contracts and scans live across devices, network drives and deeply nested folder structures.

Filenames are not enough

Alexandria searches content, OCR text, tags and metadata—not just names.

Where does it belong?

Kallimachos suggests the right filing location. The decision stays with you.

Paper records too

Kallimachos manages the location and retention dates of physical records—and can link them to the matching scan.

The decisive difference

The document does not have to come to Alexandria. Alexandria comes to the document.

Conventional DMS products know imported files. Alexandria also unlocks authorised files in their existing locations.

Conventional DMS

Move first. Manage second.

Files are imported, copied or moved into a new filing structure. Anything outside remains unknown to the DMS.

AlexandriaDMS

Local-first

Leave in place. Still know it.

Alexandria catalogues content, metadata, location and permissions across existing devices, NAS and servers—without forcing another file silo.

The result
One library across distributed storage—without forcing existing files to move.

A clear path to knowledge

From the first step to the right place.

From first capture to later retrieval, every step remains clear, reviewable and under your control.

Intake

Scans, downloads and new documents arrive in one inbox.

Understand

Kallimachos with AI

Local AI recognises content and context, explains its classification and suggests suitable tags, links and filing locations.

Find

Pinakes

The catalogue knows what exists, where it lives, who owns it and who may see it.

Alexandria in action

Three views. One continuous workflow.

Explorer, Kallimachos and source management bring search, classification and storage locations into one interface. The changing design views show how the same document context is preserved.
