## What is Sessions?

Sessions is the clean, fast way to track when the world's stock markets open and close — and the events that move them.

See live countdowns to the next open and close for every major exchange, from the NYSE and Nasdaq to London, Tokyo, Frankfurt, and Istanbul. Know at a glance whether a market is open, in pre-market, after-hours, on a half-day, or closed for a holiday — with accurate exchange holiday calendars, not generic public holidays.

WHAT SESSIONS DOES

Market hours and countdowns
See the current status and a live countdown to the next open or close for exchanges around the world, each in its own local time with daylight saving handled automatically.

Earnings calendar
Track upcoming company earnings dates so you're never caught off guard by a report.

Dividend calendar
Follow ex-dividend and payment dates for the stocks you care about.

Economic and macro events
Stay ahead of market-moving events — Fed decisions, inflation prints, jobs reports, and central bank meetings — on a single timeline.

IPO calendar
See which companies are going public and when.

Home Screen widget
Keep your most important markets and their countdowns on your Home Screen, updated throughout the day.

Reminders
Get a heads-up before an exchange opens or closes, or before a key event.

Built for traders, investors, and anyone who follows global markets and doesn't want to miss the moments that matter.

Sessions provides market hours and event information for reference. Always confirm critical dates and times with your broker or the exchange.

• Bug fixes and performance improvements

### 1.2 — 2026-07-25

NEW: News tab — the latest market headlines from Yahoo Finance, Benzinga, CNBC, MarketWatch and FMP in one feed, with source filters and an in-app reader.

NEW: Daily Morning Brief — start your day with yesterday's market recap, today's economic calendar and what to watch, right at the top of the News tab. Turn on the morning reminder to get it at 8:00 every day.

NEW: Lock Screen widgets — glance at live market countdowns without unlocking your phone. Three styles: circular, rectangular and inline next to the clock.

Widgets and Live Activities are now tappable — jump straight to a market's detail page from your Home Screen, Lock Screen or the Dynamic Island.

Plus dozens of reliability improvements across news loading, notifications and countdown accuracy.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-18

NEW: Live Activities — track market countdowns right on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Start one from any market's detail page and watch the clock tick in real time, even while the app is closed.

NEW: Live widget countdowns — Home Screen widgets now update second by second instead of freezing between refreshes.

Six new exchange holiday calendars: Frankfurt (XETRA), Toronto (TSX), Shanghai (SSE), Sao Paulo (B3), Johannesburg (JSE) and Moscow (MOEX), all verified against official sources. Hong Kong 2027 dates and half-day sessions added.

Tokyo's lunch break (11:30-12:30 JST) is now shown as a separate BREAK session, and futures markets display their Sunday evening sessions correctly.

Smarter market alarms: alerts are now scheduled several days ahead and refresh automatically, so they keep firing day after day.

Fixed an issue where holidays could appear one day off depending on your time zone.

Clearer error screens with a Retry button when data can't be loaded, faster loading thanks to smarter caching, and many stability improvements throughout the app.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-09
