WHAT IS IT?
Papermark is an open-source document sharing platform built as an alternative to DocSend. You share a PDF or document through a secure link, and you get detailed analytics on who viewed it, how long they spent on each page, and whether they downloaded it. All of this with your own branding and custom domain.
WHY IS IT INTERESTING?
- Page-by-page analytics: Not just a view counter. You know exactly how long each reader spends on every page of your document, which is invaluable for pitch decks and sales proposals.
- Custom branding: Custom domain, logo, colors. Your documents are shared under your brand, not a third-party tool's.
- Secure data rooms: Share sensitive documents with granular access control, email verification, and password protection.
- Self-hostable: Classic Next.js + PostgreSQL + Prisma stack. You keep full control over your data and your clients' data.
- Native integrations: Connect with tools like Notion to import content directly, and use webhooks to automate workflows.
