There is DevonThink [1]. Has been around for decades, does OCR, syncs to a huge bunch of services including WebDav, has mobile clients.
It's a bit of an old paradigm, though - powerful, client-side, offers a lot of freedom and therefore wants you to put in manual work for setting up a system. I love it.

- vertis 5y agoI've been moving more and more to apps like Devonthink. I use Obsidian and Zotero, which while they different use cases are a similar 'old paradigm'. My thinking recently has been on the storing items in a way that will last. It seems every year another SaaS gets bought and/or shutdown. Text based storage (Obsidian/Markdown) and desktop/foss apps are one way to combat that.
- solarkraft 5y agoIf "old paradigm" means self-owned data and no dependence on a subscription that can go away at any time I'm all in on it. (Small) SaaS is not dependable.
- LeSaucy 5y agoDEVONThink is criminally underrated. The mobile apps are fantastic. It's almost a super power being able to pull up any document/receipt I've dropped in my scanner over the last decade on my phone from anywhere.
