Mayan EDMS

Mayan EDMS provides a self‑hostable, open‑source platform for storing, retrieving, and managing electronic documents. It generates previews, performs OCR, and can automatically categorize files, while supporting versioning so earlier revisions can be downloaded or restored with independent access controls.

The system includes a fine‑grained permissions model that defines rights for each atomic user operation, and it offers configurable document workflows that map business processes and state transitions. Smart linking creates rule‑based references between documents, and a comprehensive settings panel lets administrators tailor the solution to diverse workloads.

A REST API enables integration with existing infrastructure, and all functionality is reachable through a web‑based setup interface. The software is mature, scalable to millions of documents and hundreds of millions of pages, and is used in government, non‑profit, and commercial environments. It is released under GPL‑2.0 and requires no subscription.
