A terminal-based stock ticker application that displays real-time financial data from Yahoo! Finance.
tickrs is a terminal-based stock ticker application that displays real-time financial market data from Yahoo! Finance. It provides developers and traders with a lightweight way to monitor stocks, ETFs, and other securities directly in their command line interface without needing a browser or dedicated trading platform.
Developers, system administrators, and traders who prefer working in terminal environments and want quick access to market data without switching applications.
Unlike web-based financial dashboards, tickrs runs entirely in the terminal with minimal resource usage, offers customizable real-time updates, and integrates seamlessly into developer workflows.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Built with Rust, tickrs runs efficiently with minimal resource usage, as shown by its availability as small binaries via Cargo and package managers.
Fetches live stock prices from Yahoo! Finance with configurable update intervals (default 1 second) and time frames from 1D to 5Y, enabling tailored monitoring.
Supports line, candle, and kagi charts with toggleable elements like volumes and x-axis labels, allowing diverse analysis styles directly in the TUI.
Available via Cargo, Homebrew, Arch Linux packages, and direct binaries, making it easy to install on multiple operating systems without heavy dependencies.
Relies solely on Yahoo! Finance, which may have data delays, inaccuracies, or downtime, and the README notes no fallback APIs for redundancy.
Purely a monitoring tool; users cannot execute trades or manage portfolios, limiting its utility for active investors who need integrated brokerage features.
On Windows, it requires Windows Terminal for proper display, as per the README, which adds complexity and may not work with older or incompatible terminals.
