It sits there showing me numbers that slowly ruin my mood, which is precisely the brief. Resource usage is reasonable and it has not leaked memory on a long run. A dark theme toggle would be the only thing on my list.
Ticker on screen, prices update, done. It is exactly the desktop widget I wanted and nothing more. Lightweight, it remembers my symbols, and it survives a reboot without complaint. Stocks and crypto in one strip means I stopped opening three tabs to check the same numbers.
Set up my watchlist in under a minute and pinned it to a second monitor. For something built with an assistant, the config is surprisingly sensible. Crypto and stocks in one strip is the detail that sold me.
