alphai-tui

Alphai-tui, an MIT-licensed terminal dashboard written in Rust, launched as an open source tool that combines live price data, candlestick charts, and AI-scored news in a single terminal process. The app works without an account for quotes and charts, while a free AlphAI API key unlocks AI-scored news, per-ticker sentiment, SEC Form 4 insider activity, and structured earnings reads, with the free API plan capped at 20 requests per minute and 100 per day. Prices default to Yahoo Finance, with Finnhub and Alpaca as alternatives, and the app runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Open Source Alternative to: Stars Last commit Repository age Version License Repository alphai-tui is a terminal dashboard built in Rust that brings together live price data and financial data /categories/misc/finance-fintech/financial-data tools that usually live in separate browser tabs. It's aimed at developers and traders who already live in the terminal and want market context without switching windows. Quotes and candlestick charts work out of the box with no account. A free AlphAI key no card required unlocks the rest: AI-scored news, per-ticker sentiment, SEC Form 4 insider activity, and structured earnings reads. Seven views, one keystroke apart: The watchlist is editable while the app runs. Settings persist in a config file, so after the first launch a bare alphai-tui is enough. It's a self-contained process, which makes it pair well with a terminal multiplexer. Run it alongside something like OpenBB /openbb or an LLM agent in adjacent panes, connecting the agent to the same AlphAI API the dashboard reads from. The free API plan allows 20 requests per minute and 100 per day; the app caches responses for five minutes and fetches only what the visible view needs, so it stays within that budget comfortably. Prices default to Yahoo Finance, with Finnhub and Alpaca as alternatives for real-time quotes and full history. MIT licensed, runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
