About Merkato

Merkato is a modern and intuitive financial market tracker designed for the

GNOME desktop. Built with GTK4 and Libadwaita, it provides a native and

elegant interface for monitoring stocks, indices, currencies, and

cryptocurrencies in real-time using Yahoo Finance data.

The application offers both a traditional list view and an interactive

heatmap view, allowing users to visualize market performance in multiple

ways. Stocks are automatically categorized into sectors such as Technology,

Healthcare, Energy, Financial Services, and more. Merkato also features

persistent watchlists, automatic refresh, sorting options, and support for

27 languages.

Merkato is fully open source and built with performance and simplicity in

mind, following GNOME's Human Interface Guidelines to deliver a clean,

consistent, and distraction-free user experience.
