The idea came from my everyday life here in Germany, lots of paperwork, lots of scanning, and not enough time. I started with a tiny Python OCR script, but the project kept growing… and now it turned into a full Windows app built with WinUI 3.

Here’s what MySorty can do:

🔍 OCR & Automation: OCR for PDFs and images → creates searchable PDFs . •	Automatic language detection. •	Watches an Input Folder and processes new files instantly.

🗂️ Smart Sorting: •	Create tag rules with keywords & priorities. •	Automatically sorts PDFs into subfolders based on matching keywords. •	Automatically archives the original PDFs in the same folder structure as the OCRed PDFs.

📧 Email Integration: •	Fetch PDFs from IMAP or Microsoft OAuth2 mail accounts. •	Add “allowed senders” so only trusted PDFs are downloaded. •	Everything is then OCRed, sorted, and archived automatically.

📄 Merge & Organize: •	Automatic PDF merging (I built this because my scanner isn’t duplex). •	Watches a Merge Folder and combines all PDFs into one document. •	Merged PDFs are also OCRed, sorted, and archived.

👀 Built-in PDF Viewer: •	Preview PDFs directly inside the app. •	Rotate pages and save changes. •	No need for external PDF software

And the best part everything is done locally so no Cloud Uploads!

Basically, every feature in MySorty exists because I needed it myself, and now it’s become a tool that handles my entire document workflow.

Happy to hear any thoughts or feedback! 😁

I built a PDF OCR tool with automatic sorting using tags.
