Why LUMEN

From paper piles to a searchable archive.

Six building blocks, one promise: capture, understand and retrieve documents – without manual filing.

Instant capture

Edge detection and cropping happen live while you shoot – one page or a batch of fifty.

AI sorting

Type, sender, date: LUMEN names every document automatically and files it in the right folder.

Full-text search

OCR makes every scan searchable. Find “deposit” instead of “IMG_2041” – even in handwritten notes.

End-to-end encrypted

Your documents belong to you: encrypted on the device, hosted in German data centres.

In sync everywhere

iPhone, Android, web – one archive, always current. Even offline on the train or in the basement archive.

Sharing & approvals

Secure links with expiry dates and passwords instead of email attachments. For family, accountants or your team.

More than an archive

Built for everyday document work.

Four situations where LUMEN makes the difference — from automatic filing to handing everything to your accountant.

Files itself

Every document is recognised, named and placed in the right folder — you never maintain a filing structure again.

Team approvals

Four-eyes approval for invoices and contracts — who approved what, and when, stays traceable.

Search the way you think

Full text instead of file names: OCR makes every scan searchable — "deposit" finds the rental contract, not IMG_2041.

Flows into your systems

Export and integrations instead of a dead end: receipts travel in batches to your DMS, accounting or straight to the tax advisor.

How it works

Three steps. No manual.

From paper to a searchable archive – no onboarding, no folder discipline.

Snap it

Point the camera at the document – edge detection and cropping happen automatically, even in batches.

AI files it

LUMEN recognises type, sender and date, names the file and puts it in the right folder.

Find it again

Full-text search across everything – on your phone, on the web or right inside your connected DMS.

One inbox, every destination

From inbox to system — automatically.

LUMEN receives documents from e-mail, scanners and the app, classifies them with AI and routes them to the archive, into workflows and the full-text search.

One language, every platform

From home screen to spatial computing.

Same tokens, same components: the GlassKit design language scales from smartphone to desktop to spatial interfaces.
