Document Management.

Nearly every day you receive letters. Some, if not most, are simply advertisements, but there is also a lot that isn't. Invoices, appointments, letters about subscriptions that changed the terms of service, well endless possibilities. And there are other papers, too, contracts you made when you buy something, invoices for a department, you name it.

The usual way to organize those is to set aside those that require immediate action and store away the rest, either adding them to an unsorted bulk or file them in adequately named folders. When you later need one of the documents again it can be quite stressful to find them again in files, let alone in an unsorted bulk.

Yet today we have easy ways to digitize those documents. Even the cheapest mobile phone usually has a camera that can make a photo of the document in a sufficient resolution. With HomeS you can use your phone  (or if you prefer, a classical scanner) to digitize them and they will be shown in HomeS so you can easily file them with address, notes and tags to help you find them easily. Since you no longer have to use physical folders you can sort them in much more detail, and you can easily find them again using the search. You should still file the physical paper, but you can do so simply by its date instead of its function which not only reduces the amount of work but also lets you find it easily if you need the original.
