Three things, all on a car's page. A Charging cost tab, which is the Fuel cost tab written for an electric car: charges in kWh, consumption in kWh/100km beside km per kWh, cost per km and price per kWh, and the same summary panel over the whole history. It keeps the reference-point method too, and has to — a session records the energy that went in, not what was left in the battery, so a given number of kWh only maps to a distance between two charges that ended at the same state. A charge to the car's usual full point plays the part of the full tank; partial charges still count towards the cost and roll into the next full one; and a charge taken without logging it leaves its window uncomputed rather than reporting an implausibly good figure. Sessions live in their own collection, the figures are derived on read like the fuel ones, and logging a charge advances the odometer exactly as a refill does. The tab switches off from the gear like every other, so a petrol car need never see it. The headline readings on the connected-service tab now drag into any order, saved on drop. Stored on the car as metricOrder, like the Information rows, rather than per device the way the collapsed cards are: an arrangement is something everyone the car is shared with should see, where a folded card is one browser's reading habit. Only what the provider reported can be arranged, so a reading that turns up later joins the end rather than displacing the arrangement. Fuel is now Fuel cost, tab and heading, which is what the tab has always been about and what pairs it with Charging cost. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
DriverVault
A car control & service-tracking system (originally "Car Control Project").
Built incrementally — starting with a car maintenance tracker (modeled on
Car Service.xlsx) and growing toward live integration with the car via a
cellular ESP32 device and third-party services (Toyota Connected, EV chargers).
Architecture
All clients communicate with the database only through the API Server — nothing talks to PocketBase directly.

The Web and Phone apps are at feature parity (the phone omits only data export/import).
Features
- Maintenance tracking — cars, service history (date/odometer + which parts were changed), and a per-car parts catalog, with next-due date/km status from the spreadsheet formulas.
- Technical checks — the mandatory roadworthiness inspections (przegląd techniczny / MOT / TÜV): result, cost, station and the certificate's valid-until, which overrides the car's interval and drives the next-due date.
- Maintenance log — workshop visits and repairs outside the routine schedule: type/status, workshop, parts used, labour + parts cost, invoice, warranty-until.
- Fuel tracking — refills with derived efficiency (average / best / worst consumption, cost per km, price per litre). Consumption is measured between full tanks, so partial fills roll into the next full one.
- Documents — insurance, registration, road tax and the rest, each with a server-computed renewal/expiry state.
- Reminders — date- and/or odometer-triggered, one-off or recurring, plus read-only reminders the server derives from documents and service records.
- Attachments — one optional file (PDF or image) per service record, technical check, maintenance entry, refill, document and part; fetched back through the API Server, never a public URL.
- Accounts — PocketBase-token login, profile + appearance preferences (theme/locale/date format/currency/font), avatar, email verification, data export/import, and an account-deletion state machine.
- Organizations & roles — multi-tenant
user/admin/superadminroles; admins manage users within their own organization, superadmins span all. Any user without an organization can create one and becomes its admin. - Per-user ownership & sharing — each car has an owner and can be shared with other users as read or write; the UI mirrors the server's access checks.
- Integrations — per-user connectors under a superadmin → org-admin → user cascade. Built-in today: Toyota Connected (read-only vehicle data) and the Anker Solix V1 EV charger.
- Cars from the manufacturer's own service — import a car straight off a connected account (MyToyota today), choosing what to pull in, and read everything that service knows about it from a dedicated first tab on the car. Generic over providers: the next manufacturer is one adapter in the API Server.
- EV charging control — for Anker Solix chargers the API Server runs an OCPP 1.6J Central System; in own/proxy mode the charger dials back in and the owner can start/stop and set limits from the Charging screen.
- Translated UI — the interface reads its text from per-language files (English, Polish, Danish today), with English as the fallback for any untranslated string. See TRANSLATIONS.md.
- Phone biometric login & app lock — fingerprint / face sign-in with an app-lock that requires an unlock on relaunch. See the Phone App README.
Auth model
All apps share one auth model: authentication is PocketBase's own.
POST /api/auth/login is proxied to the PocketBase users collection and the
client keeps the token PocketBase minted — the API Server does not issue its
own JWT. Every protected request carries Authorization: <token> (both
Bearer <token> and a raw token are accepted) and the server re-resolves it
against PocketBase on each call, so a role change or a deletion takes effect
immediately. Tokens are stateless, so there is no per-device session list;
changing an account's password rotates its token key and invalidates every token
already issued. Access to cars/records is gated by per-user ownership and shares;
user management requires the admin or superadmin role. Creating an organization
is the one management action open to a plain user — it promotes them to admin of
the organization they just created.
Domain (from Car Service.xlsx)
- Cars — one per vehicle (was: one spreadsheet sheet), with spec fields (engine / transmission / differential oil, brake fluid, coolant, VIN, fuel type, build / first-registration dates, …) and configurable service intervals.
- Service records — date + odometer per service, plus which parts were changed (oil & oil filter, engine air filter, cabin air filter).
- Parts — per-car catalog of part numbers.
Key spreadsheet formulas, reproduced by the API Server on read:
Next Service Date = service date + serviceIntervalDays (default 365; Excel: =A+365)
Next Service Km = service km + serviceIntervalKm (default 15 000; Excel: =B+15000)
Intervals are configurable per car.
Getting started
Bring up the stack in this order — each app's README has the details:
- API Server — configure
.env, runsetup-pocketbase.mjs, start the server. This must be running for either app. - Web App —
npm install && npm run dev(proxies/apito the server). - Phone App —
flutter build apk/flutter runwith--dart-define=API_BASE=http://<server-ip>:8080/api.
Or skip all of that and bring the whole stack up with Docker, which runs the schema setup itself — see Docker (PocketBase + API Server + Web App as three containers) or Docker AIO (all three in a single image).
