Hey!
Iβve been working on a terminal app for people like me who want to monitor stock prices, market news, and historical data β without needing a web browser or GUI app.
It's called stocksTUI β a cross-platform Terminal User Interface (TUI) built with Textual and powered by yfinance. If you're into finance, data, or just like cool terminal tools, you might enjoy it.
What it does:
-
Real-time-ish* stock and crypto prices
-
Latest news headlines for each ticker
-
Historical performance with ASCII charts
-
Custom watchlists (tech, indices, whatever you want)
-
Theming support (Solarized, Dracula, and more)
-
Fully configurable (refresh rate, default tab, etc.)
* Data comes from free APIs, so expect minor delays β but good enough for casual monitoring or tinkering.
Why I built it:
I like keeping my terminal open while I work, and tabbing to a browser to check the market felt clunky. So I built something I could run alongside btop, vim, and other tools β no mouse needed.
Works on:
-
Linux
-
macOS
-
Windows (via WSL2 or PowerShell)
