Teedy is a free, open-source document management system with OCR, encryption, and search, plus an optional paid cloud version.
Teedy is a lightweight, open-source document management system created by Sismics, a software company based in Lyon, France. It began life as Sismics Docs and was rebranded to Teedy in 2016, though the underlying open-source project remains hosted on GitHub under the sismics/docs repository.
The system is designed to bring enterprise-grade document management features, such as OCR, encryption, and full-text search, to individuals and small businesses without the cost of large proprietary document management platforms.
Teedy automatically extracts text from scanned documents and images using OCR, making uploaded files searchable even when they originate as scans or photos.
Documents can be encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption, and access is controlled through granular user and group permission settings.
A full-text search engine indexes document content and metadata, letting users quickly locate files across large document sets.
The platform includes tagging, basic workflow and routing support, a REST API for integrations, and a native Android client for mobile access.
The self-hosted, open-source version of Teedy is completely free under the GPL license, including every feature such as OCR, encryption, and workflow tools. Users only pay for the infrastructure needed to host it, whether that is a home server, a Raspberry Pi, or a cloud virtual machine, and a preconfigured Docker image is available to simplify deployment.
For teams that prefer not to manage their own infrastructure, Sismics also offers a commercial, hosted cloud version of Teedy at teedy.io, with published pricing starting at roughly EUR 19 per user per month.
