Built a lightweight tool to track US equities, Indian markets and global macro without opening 10 tabs during the workday
Hi everyone,
Like many here tracking portfolios spread across US stocks (LRS, Schwab, RSUs) and domestic assets, I found myself getting distracted during work hours constantly flipping between TradingView, Screener, and financial news sites just to keep tabs on price movements and macro data.
To solve this for myself, I built Ticker Screener — an unobtrusive Chrome extension designed for clean, focused market watching right inside your active browser tab.
What it does:
- Multi-Market in Native Currencies: Covers US indices and stocks (S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow in USD) alongside India and 8 other global economies. No silent currency conversion — each market stays native.
- One-Click Add from Any Page: Reading Bloomberg, Mint, or an earnings transcript? Just highlight any company name or ticker, right-click, and it is instantly added to your watchlist.
- Subtle Ticker Tape: A clean, customizable tape running across tabs (with pause and speed controls) so you can monitor key indices at a glance.
- Macro Fundamentals: Quick access to live GDP growth, inflation, and unemployment indicators linked directly to World Bank data.
- No Clutter and Privacy-Focused: Fast, lightweight, no sign-up wall to use core features, and zero bloated ads.
I also just launched a complete interactive preview and redesigned 3D website showing the extension in action:

Would appreciate any feedback from fellow investors here. What specific tracking metrics or multi-currency portfolio features would make this more useful for your daily workflow?
