TL;DR

Cointray offloads your brain by storing little, important pieces of information that are a pain to remember.

The basic unit of information in Cointray is – well – a coin.
Cointray's coins have a name to identify what information they contain and a history that tracks how many times this particular piece of information was relevant in the past.
The date and time of every occurrence is kept in the coins history.

Here is what a coin looks like:

You can see the title of the coin, how long ago it was last "active" (and when that was) as well as an indicator showing how many times that particular coin was "active" until now.
The circular arrow on the right hand side lets you quickly "re-do" the current coin.

More detail about the history of that coin is available on its detail view which you reach by clicking the coin's name (this does not work here in the documentation though).

What is Cointray?

Cointray makes it easy for people to track all the little things in their lives.

When did you last buy flowers for your partner? How long since your last visit at the dentist's? How many times did you (or your automated script) make that backup of your important data in the last year (and how many times did it fail)?

You track whatever matters to you!

A short introduction how Cointray does track things can be found in the TL;DR section above. But why not sign up and try for yourself?

Why does Cointray require a Google or Github login

User accounts are required to keep coins together; without user accounts Cointray would not know which coins belong to you and which do not.

Google & Co. invest in the effort it takes to keep robots from signing up to their service(s). By requiring a Google or Github account, Conintray can benefit from this efforts.

But… I love Cointray as much as I hate Google & Co.!

Okay, I see. In this case, drop me a note on tech+account [at] cointray [dot] net and I will set a local user account up for you. I will use your email address as your username and send you the password via email. If you provide a GPG key, I will encrypt that message.
Unfortunately the password cannot (yet?) be changed.

Does Cointray provide an API

Yes! Conitray does provide a RESTful API. For details, check out the dedicated API section.

What does it cost to use Cointray?

Nothing. Cointray is free as in "free beer".

Future of Cointray

Will Cointray ever have feature X?

It depends (see disclaimer below). I have tons of ideas for additional tricks that Cointray could "learn". Some of them are listed in the Feature Wishlist in case you are interested.

Disclaimer

Cointray is a private project that I run for fun. My personal resources, in time and money, define if and how much I can invest in the evolution of it.

Who is behind Cointray?

Cointray is a personal project; you could call it a one (wo)man show. You can reach me via tech [at] cointray [dot] net.

Whishlist

Note that this list does not contain all the ideas I have, but is should indicate what direction further releases of Cointray will go to.
