What you can make with Appaca
Appaca is a platform for personal software, so your stock tracker can match your investment style and metrics instead of a generic brokerage dashboard.
A portfolio view that matches your strategy
Track the metrics that matter to you-cost basis, allocation percentages, dividend yield, sector exposure, or unrealized gains. Leave out the noise that does not inform your decisions.
Watchlists and tracking tailored to your approach
Build watchlists by thesis, sector, or screening criteria. Log trade rationale, set target prices, and keep notes alongside your holdings for context when reviewing positions.
Built-in database and shareable access
Every holding, watchlist entry, and note is stored in a built-in database. Share your tracker with an advisor, investment club, or partner for collaborative portfolio review.
Personal software for investors
Start with your investment approach. Appaca creates the stock tracker around your holdings and metrics, and you can keep refining it as your portfolio evolves.
Start with what you track and why
Tell Appaca about your holdings, the metrics you monitor, whether you track dividends, and how you organize positions across accounts or strategies.
Let Appaca shape the tracker around your needs
You can describe custom views, calculation methods, tagging systems, and what you want to see on your main dashboard. Appaca turns that into a working portfolio tool.
Share it with your advisor or investment club
Invite others into the workspace to review positions, discuss trades, or collaboratively manage a shared portfolio without emailing spreadsheets back and forth.
What is a stock market tracker?
A stock market tracker is software that helps investors monitor their holdings, watch market movements, and measure portfolio performance over time. It consolidates data about prices, allocations, gains, losses, and dividends into a single view so you can make informed decisions without logging into multiple brokerage accounts or juggling spreadsheets.
Key features to look for in a stock market tracker
Portfolio-level views showing total value, gain/loss, and allocation by sector or asset class give you the big picture. Cost basis tracking and unrealized gain calculations help with tax planning. Watchlists with custom tags let you monitor prospective positions. A trade journal or notes field captures your reasoning so you can review decisions later. Multi-account support is essential if your investments span brokerage accounts or retirement funds.
Why build your own stock market tracker with Appaca
Brokerage dashboards show you what they want you to see and push you toward their products. Generic portfolio trackers use fixed layouts and metrics that may not match your strategy. Appaca lets you describe exactly what data you track, how you want it organized, and what calculations matter-then builds a stock tracker around your investment approach. Add new metrics, restructure views, or expand tracking as your strategy matures.
