Stay ahead of every market move with real-time CBOE Volatility Index tracking, instant panic level alerts, and the full upcoming earnings schedule - all in one beautifully designed app. LIVE VIX DATA Volatility Radar pulls the live CBOE VIX index directly from the market and refreshes it every 60 seconds. See the current value, point change, and percentage move at a glance. Know exactly where market fear stands the moment you open the app. MARKET PANIC LEVELS The VIX doesn't just move - it signals. Volatility Radar translates the raw number into five clear market conditions. - Regular (VIX less 30) - Markets are calm - High Fear (30-40) - Investors are getting cautious - Extreme Panic (40-50) - High volatility, risk management critical - Capitulation (50-80) - Aggressive selling, sharp reversals possible - Historic Crisis (80 and more) - Systemic risk, unprecedented conditions The entire interface reacts dynamically - background gradients shift from green to orange to red to deep purple as fear escalates, giving you an instant visual read on market conditions. INSTANT ALERTS Enable market alerts and get notified the moment the panic level changes. Whether fear is rising or calm is returning, you'll know before most traders do. EARNINGS SCHEDULE Track the next 7 days of US earnings reports - company name, ticker, report timing (before open, after close, during market), and estimated EPS. Never be caught off guard by a major earnings move again. MARKET STATUS See at a glance whether US equity markets are currently open or closed, updated in real time based on NYSE trading hours. BUILT FOR SPEED Auto-refresh runs silently in the background every minute. Pull to refresh anytime for an instant update. Clean, dark interface designed for fast reading in any lighting condition.

Sentiscale

Sentiscale reads the market's mood and puts it in one number. Every day it scores the market's news flow, blends it with how stocks, volatility, credit and safe havens are actually behaving, and gives you a single 0-100 reading from extreme fear to extreme greed. WHY THE GAUGE MOVED Most fear and greed gauges show you a number and stop there. Sentiscale explains it โ€” in two plain sentences, tied to the specific headlines behind the reading, so you can tap through and check the reasoning yourself. No jargon, no hand-waving. WHAT USUALLY HAPPENED NEXT When the gauge has sat in this band before, how did the market behave over the following month and quarter? Sentiscale shows the historical pattern next to the baseline for any day at all, so you can see what the reading actually adds โ€” and it flags a band as thin when the sample behind it is too small to lean on. SECTOR BY SECTOR Eleven sectors, each with its own mood reading, so you can see whether the market is uniformly nervous or just nervous about one corner of it. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Widgets in several sizes keep the current gauge a glance away. Optional notifications tell you when the mood shifts sharply or when a high-impact headline lands โ€” you choose how much you want to hear. AN OPEN TRACK RECORD Every daily call Sentiscale has ever made is published, alongside what the market actually did afterwards, misses included, next to the benchmark you should judge it against. Nothing is edited or removed. SENTISCALE PRO The gauge, the widgets and the news feed are free, always. Pro unlocks the daily explanation, the historical band patterns and the per-sector breakdown. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage them in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://sentiscale.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://sentiscale.app/privacy.html Sentiscale measures sentiment. It is not investment advice, and it does not predict prices or tell you what to buy or sell. Always do your own research.
