Features designed for signal, not noise
Everything is built around one goal: deliver the right market signal, at the right time, in the right place.
Custom Price Alerts
Set alerts when a stock price goes above or below a level you choose. Upper and lower thresholds, easy to edit per ticker. Cooldown period prevents notification spam (configurable). First-check protection avoids false alerts from price gaps.
WhatsApp Notifications
WhatsApp messages are fast, personal, and always visible. Instant delivery with clean, readable alert format. Windows Toast Notifications as backup. Consolidated notifications—multiple alerts combined into one per check cycle.
Bilingual Experience (EN/ES)
Switch between English and Spanish at any time. Alerts and interface stay simple, clear, and consistent. All UI elements, dialogs, and notifications fully translated.
Bring Your Own API Key
Connect using your own Finnhub API key. Start with the free tier, upgrade only if you need more. Your key stays on your device.
Professional UI
No clutter, no distractions. AI StockAlert is intentionally focused on alerts, not charts. Professional UI with Dark/Light themes. Tabbed interface (Profile, Settings, Tickers, News, Help, About).

Get a curated news feed targeted to your specific stocks. Select up to 5 tickers for news tracking. Categories: My Stocks, General, Crypto, Forex, M&A.
Multi-Currency Display
View prices in USD and MXN with live exchange rates from exchangerate-api.com. One-click toggle in header, all prices/thresholds/market caps convert automatically.
Background Service
Runs silently in system tray when window is closed. Continues monitoring and sending alerts 24/7. Auto-start with Windows option. Hot-reloads config changes.
