mop

TL;DR: mop is a real-time terminal-based stock market tracker that displays major indices, market breadth, and a custom watchlist on a single screen.

mop renders a continuously updating market overview in your terminal. The top section shows major US indices and market statistics including advancing versus declining issues and new highs and lows. Below that, your personal watchlist displays current prices, daily changes, and percentage moves. The display refreshes automatically at a configurable interval. Data is sourced from Yahoo Finance with no API key required.

The tool is written in Go and ships as a single binary. Interaction is keyboard-driven: you can add or remove tickers, change sort order, and adjust the refresh rate without leaving the terminal. The layout is compact and designed to fit into a single terminal pane, making it easy to run alongside other tools in a tiled terminal setup.

mop is best for equity-focused traders who want a persistent, no-frills market overview in their terminal. It covers the basics of market monitoring well but does not include charting, order execution, or multi-asset support beyond US equities.
