Become a sponsor to Johannes Plunien

Hi, I'm Johannes 👋

I'm a staff iOS engineer from Germany, twenty-odd years into building software.
By day I work on the Kleinanzeigen iOS app. In the evenings I build
Less Paper.

Less Paper

paperless-ngx turned my filing cabinet into a
searchable archive - but reaching it from my phone meant a browser tab and a lot
of pinch-zooming. So I wrote a proper native client.

Less Paper is a SwiftUI app for iPhone and iPad: multiple servers, the same
search and filter power as the web UI, saved views, metadata and bulk editing,
share-sheet import, password-protected PDFs, OIDC single sign-on, client
certificates, and a trash you can actually restore from.

It is free on the App Store, MIT licensed, with no ads, no tracking, no
account, and no subscription - and I intend to keep it that way.

Why sponsor?

Free software isn't free to make. There's €99 a year for the Apple Developer
Program before a single line of code reaches anyone. The bigger cost is time:
triaging issues, testing against new paperless-ngx releases, chasing each iOS
beta, and answering support mail from people I've never met.

Sponsoring means:

• Less Paper stays free and full-featured for everyone, not just people who can pay
• Bugs get fixed this weekend instead of eventually
• I can keep carving out evenings for it without guilt
• New features - and the devices to test them on - become realistic

Also

Any amount helps, and I read every message. Thank you for considering it - and
thank you to everyone who has filed an issue, sent a crash report, or simply
told me the app is useful. 🙏
