HomeCloud: a calm place for shared life logistics

HomeCloud exists because “shared drives” tend to become junk drawers. This system is intentionally small: files, notes, shared utilities, and a few guardrails. It’s built to feel obvious to non-technical people, even on a rushed day.

Problem

Important info scattered across texts, email threads, and random folders.
No clear “source of truth” for documents or household reference stuff.
Tools that are technically capable but emotionally exhausting to use.

Answer

One place with simple roles (admin / family / guest).
Left-nav that makes sense at a glance.
Calm layout, consistent wording, minimal clicks.

What “calm system” means here

rules, not vibes

HomeCloud is not trying to be a platform. It’s trying to be dependable. Every feature has to justify its existence by reducing friction for real people.

Design

Readable first

Structure is the UI. Neon accents are guidance, not decoration.

Behavior

Status > ornament

If something is “loading” or “missing,” it should say so plainly.

Change

Evolves with use

It gets edited after real-world friction is observed, not guessed.

Screens

These are the current “shape” of the system. The screenshot viewer is shared across the site.
