About

TickerNotch

Read full description

TickerNotch puts crypto and stock prices on your Dynamic Island. Pick up to six tickers from your watchlist and they rotate on the island while you use other apps. The island is a Live Activity, so when you lock your phone the prices keep coming on the Lock Screen. Updates arrive about every 20 seconds. If the connection drops, the island dims to show the data is stale instead of showing a wrong price. THE ISLAND - Up to six tickers rotate on the Dynamic Island - The compact pill shows price and daily change, price only, or change only - Updates continue on the Lock Screen after you lock your phone - Breaking news can take over the island for a moment, with a notification you can turn off THE APP - Watchlist with prices and sparklines - Candlestick charts at 1 minute, 5 minute, 15 minute, and 1 hour intervals - One search across crypto and stocks - News from Reuters, BBC, MarketWatch, CNBC, WSJ, and more, plus any feed you add - Portfolio with holdings and profit and loss per ticker. Holdings stay on your phone and are never uploaded. - Price move alerts: a notification when a ticker moves more than a percentage you choose within a number of minutes you choose - Four home and lock screen widgets: single ticker, watchlist, chart, and news. They work in StandBy too. DATA - Crypto prices stream live from Hyperliquid - Stocks, indices, commodities, and currencies come from Yahoo Finance. - News comes from public RSS feeds - Daily change is measured from 00:00 in your time zone FREE AND PRO The app is free. The Dynamic Island runs free for 5 minutes a day. TickerNotch Pro removes the limit. You can pay weekly, monthly or yearly, and new subscribers get a 7-day free trial on the weekly and yearly plans. The App Store shows the price for your country before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account and the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. Also on Mac: TickerNotch shows stock and crypto tickers beside your MacBook notch. Search for TickerNotch on the Mac App Store. PRIVACY No account and no ads. There is no tracking prompt and no advertising ID. Outside Europe (the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland) the app measures which ads bring people in through AppsFlyer, with results reported to us only in aggregate, and sends daily usage totals to our own server. You can switch either off in Settings › Privacy, and in Europe usage totals stay off unless you turn them on. Alerts, the market-open start, and island updates send your watchlist symbols and a push token to our server. Holdings never leave the device. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://bitvibelabs.com/tickernotch/ios/privacy/ TickerNotch is not affiliated with Hyperliquid or Yahoo. Prices are for information only, not investment advice. The island features need an iPhone that has the Dynamic Island. Everything else works on any iPhone running iOS 18 or later.
