Your watchlist. Your machine.
Your terminal.

A free desktop research dashboard. Macroeconomics, your watchlist, and one screen that shows where everything stands today versus the last five years.

Private Terminal β€” Pulse cross-section heatmap showing every ticker and macro series as percentile-rank vs the trailing 5-year window

Pulse β€” every ticker and macro indicator expressed as percentile-rank versus its own trailing 5-year window. Sortable, filterable, click any ticker to drop into a chart.

Built because we wanted to use it.

Most retail charting tools β€” TradingView, KOYFIN, the brokerage screens β€” gate features behind accounts, sell behavioral data, or push toward an upgrade tier. We build privacy-first software for a living. We follow markets. We wanted a research dashboard that worked the way our own tools work, so we built one and gave it away.

Same team that builds PrivateACB. Same answer to the same question: your data is yours.

The chart you wished came free.

Multi-indicator candlestick view with the toolset that's subscription-tier elsewhere. Click anywhere on the price pane to anchor a VWAP. Stack up to five anchors per ticker. Anchors persist per-ticker, per-session, automatically.

Same team. Same values.

Both Private Terminal and PrivateACB answer one question the same way: your data is yours. We don't think a research tool should sell your watchlist, and we don't think a tax tool should require uploading your transaction history to a server.

The full list of outbound network calls β€” and what each is for β€” is documented inside the app at Settings β†’ Privacy. There are four legitimate destinations: FRED for macroeconomic series, Yahoo Finance for quotes and history, Finnhub for US-equity news (only if you bring an API key), and the news RSS feeds you choose to enable. Nothing else.

Get it.

Windows 10/11. ~7 MB installer. No account required. The installer is free; the source is open.

First launch will trigger a Windows SmartScreen warning β€” the app isn't code-signed yet. Click More infoRun anyway. Code-signing is on the v1.x roadmap.

The Macro dashboard requires a free FRED API key (5-minute setup at fred.stlouisfed.org). The rest of the app works without one.

Mac and Linux builds are not currently provided. Tauri supports them; the codebase is portable; we just haven't packaged for them. PRs welcome.
