Pagepiper

Pagepiper is a self-hosted tool for ingesting and searching document collections using full-text BM25 search and (with BYOK Ollama) hybrid vector search and LLM-powered chat. Upload PDFs, search across them instantly, and ask questions in natural language.

Source-available Licensed under BSL 1.1 — free for personal non-commercial self-hosting. Fork it, run it locally, contribute. Converts to MIT 4 years after each release. Commercial hosting requires a paid license.
