Cerrax Cloud is a suite of tools I created for myself and my family to coordinate and manage our everyday tasks and data.

Cerrax Cloud currently has 3 apps:

More apps planned for the future!

Cerrax Cloud was designed with mobile use in mind. As such, viewing it on a desktop browser is a bit underwhelming, but the usage is exactly the same as on a mobile device.

The very top of the window is the name of the current page and some navigation options. On the left side, there is a Back button, which simply moves you back one page. On the right side, the Menu hamburger icon will take you back to the Cerrax Cloud main menu.

Just below the navigation is the Action Bar. Depending on the app you are in, this bar will change to show various options available.

For example: when viewing a list in the Lister app, the Action Bar has the following options:

View actions or other very common actions are presented on the right side of the Action Bar. Less common or unrelated actions appear on the right side. In this example, sorting is on the left, and the right has additional actions for filtering out marked items, and editing the list itself.

The Admin app is where you can create, edit, and delete users of the Cerrax Cloud, as well as grant or revoke permissions for each app (including Admin it self).

A user in Cerrax Cloud has a unique username and requires a password with at least 8 characters of both letters and numbers. Users are also required to have a First and Last Name, in order to display them in the user interface.

To preserve shared data, you can effectively disable a user by revoking permissions to all apps (see below). The user will still be able to log in, but the only option they will see in the Cerrax Cloud navigation will be the Logout button.

A user can be granted access to any app by checking the box next to that app's name. Unchecking a box will deny access to that app.

A simple checklist app. No notes. Literally.

Lister focuses on simplicity, with a clean iterface and only a few options to sort and view lists. The goal is to provide the functionality most wanted from a checklist app, without any clunky, unnecessary add-ons getting in the way.

To access settings, on the main Lister menu, click on "Settings" on the right side of the Action Bar.

Click on "+ New List" in the right side of the Action Bar to start a new checklist. You will need to provide a name an at least 1 item to begin the list. The app gives you only slots for 10 items during ceration, but you can add more items after the list has been created.

Once a list has been created, you can check off items as they are completed by touching the checkbox next to an item. You can also add items to the list by typing in the text box at the top of the list and clicking the plus (+) button.

Action Bar

If you are the owner of a list (meaning you are the one who initially created it), or if you have been given sufficient permission by the list owner, you are able to edit the list.

You can rename the list. You can also quickly delete items from the list by clicking the red X next to a list item.

If you click the Share List button on the right side of the Action Bar, you will see a list of Cerrax Cloud users. Check the appropriate boxes to grant permissions to other users to view and edit the list.

When a simple checklist isn't enough, Docket gives you a way to track long-running tasks or goals. Docket items include a status to indicate what stage the task is currently in, as well as dates to keep you on schedule and a full history of all updates or changes that have occurred which are related to the task.

Click the "+ New Item" button on the right side of the Action Bar to start a new Docket item. A Docket item has several different fields to track the status and history of a task.

A Docket item requires a Title and at least 1 Update to be created. Docket will keep a timestamped history of all updates posted for the task. Any time something has occurred related to the task, you can use the "New Update" section to log those changes.

On the main Docket screen, you will see a list of all your Docket items. Docket items can be sorted and filtered in a variety of ways.

Sorting Options (ascending or descending)

Filter Options

Along with sorting and filtering, Docket uses colors to help you quickly identify items. The Priority and Status fields have a color associated to each value (such as yellow for Medium priority, or green for an Open task). The Updated date is also colored based on how long it has been since the most recent update. All of the colors can be changed in the Docket Settings page (see below).

Clicking on a Docket item goes to the Edit screen, where you can change any of the information about the task, add an update, or view the previous updates on the task.

On the main Docket screen, clicking on the "Settings" button on the right side of the Action Bar brings you to the Settings page. You can adjust all of the colors used by Docket for the various fields (Priority, Status, Updated).

You can also control how long items stay in Docket. The "Purge items after" setting determines how many days after the most recent update an item will be permanently deleted. The default value is 240 days, but can be changed to any value you would like.

One of the ways that Docket organizes items is by Category. You can define these categories at the bottom of the Settings page. To add a category, type a name for the category in the text box and click the plus (+) button. To edit the name of an existing category, change the text in the box and click "Save". To delete a category, click the red X next to the category name.
