Mktbox is simply the world's best mobile stock tracker. It begins with your watchlists. Build as many as you like, then group them together or break them apart with a tap. Every list shows real-time prices, including pre-market and after-hours, and lets you see how each stock has performed across every time period on the same screen, sorted any way you want. Who led today, who's lagged all year, what's quietly been working since January, all at a glance. The charts are fast, fluid, and beautiful. Scrub through any range, compare against the market, or switch to pro candlesticks with moving averages, Bollinger Bands, RSI, and MACD when you want to go deeper. Even if all you ever do is track, you'll be amazed how much there is to see on every stock. Earnings history with every beat and miss, full call transcripts, upcoming report dates, income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow built for your phone, and key ratios with real context, like whether that P/E is high or low next to its peers. Add your own notes to any stock, and set price alerts. They're unlimited and free. YOUR WHOLE PORTFOLIO, FINALLY IN ONE PLACE Link your brokerage accounts, enter positions by hand, or build simulated portfolios to test ideas. Then see each one on its own, or everything combined into a single view. This is where Mktbox does something most brokerages simply don't: real-time performance attribution. If your portfolio is up 10% this year, you'll see exactly which positions got you there and how much each one contributed. Compare yourself against the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow, live and historically, over any period. Every transaction is tracked, down to individual tax lots, so you can see how each stock has done since you bought it, and how every buy and sell along the way shaped your returns. Dividend income is charted over time, with upcoming announced and estimated payouts so you know what's coming. NEWS, THE WAY IT SHOULD BE Financial news on mobile is broken. It's buried under ads, popups, and low-quality content that's often barely about the stock it's tagged to. So we rebuilt it. Our AI agents read thousands of sources around the clock, throw out what's irrelevant or mislabeled, and summarize what's left into something you can absorb in seconds. Your feed is built around the stocks you actually own and follow, and you can narrow it to a single company or a single publisher. When you want the full story, our reader strips away everything but the article itself. INTRODUCING MR. MKT Everything above is powered by real-time data: prices, news as it breaks, earnings, financials, filings, and your own portfolio. Mr. Mkt brings it all together. We've combined these datasets with frontier AI models and our own proprietary skills to build an analyst that can teach you more about a stock in a minute than you'd find in an hour of digging. It knows what's moving and why, what the last earnings call actually said, how the numbers have trended, and what any of it means for your positions. It answers with charts and comparisons, not walls of text, and it's built into every screen, already aware of what you're looking at. It's the part of Mktbox that keeps getting better, and it's just getting started. ----------------------- Apple's standard terms of use for In-App Purchase subscriptions apply.
