Stock Meter is a small macOS menu bar app. It shows your live Robinhood portfolio value, today's change, and your holdings at a glance — read-only, through Robinhood's own official connection, with nothing routed through a server of ours.
Free & open source Read-only. It never places trades.
Stock Meter sits in your menu bar showing your portfolio value, or whichever metric you choose. Click it and a popover drops down with the full picture — today's change, buying power, your holdings, the day's top movers, and how fresh the quotes are. It reads your account through Robinhood's own connection and never touches a trade.
Stock Meter is built to show, not to act. It is not a trading app and it is not advice. It does not place orders, review or cancel orders, rebalance, write to watchlists, or trade options — and it does not recommend, rank, or suggest what you should buy or sell. The only Robinhood tools it is allowed to call are the four read-only ones that return your accounts, portfolio, positions, and quotes. Everything else is blocked before it leaves your machine.
Requires macOS 26 or later. Apple Silicon required. Apple Developer ID signed and notarized, distributed directly with Sparkle auto-updates. A Robinhood account is required to connect.
The number you keep checking, without opening the app that tempts you to do something about it.
No. Stock Meter is read-only by design. It connects to only four of Robinhood's tools — the ones that return your accounts, portfolio, positions, and quotes — and a local allowlist blocks every other tool call, including anything that could place, review, or cancel an order. It cannot trade, rebalance, write watchlists, or touch options. "It can't trade" is enforced in the code, not just stated here.
It connects through Robinhood's official Trading connection using an OAuth browser sign-in, the same kind of "sign in with…" flow you've used elsewhere. Your Robinhood password is entered with Robinhood, not with Stock Meter — the app never sees or stores it. The session that sign-in produces is kept in your macOS Keychain.
No. There is no Abokado account and no Abokado backend. Stock Meter talks directly to Robinhood from your Mac, and stores a sanitized snapshot and local history in your Application Support folder so it can show week, month, and year views. Those files hold masked account details, holdings, and totals — never tokens, cookies, or raw account numbers. Nothing about your holdings is sent to us. The app does phone home for one thing: Sparkle update checks.
No. Stock Meter displays your own account and market data. It does not recommend, rank, or suggest what to buy or sell, and nothing in it should be taken as financial advice. It's a readout, not an adviser.
No. Stock Meter is an independent app by Abokado Labs. It is not made by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Robinhood Markets, Inc. It connects to your account through Robinhood's own published connection, using only the read-only tools Robinhood exposes for that purpose. "Robinhood" is a trademark of its owner.
You choose. If Robinhood returns more than one account, you pick which one Stock Meter reads in Settings. The selected account identifier is stored in your Keychain and used only as an argument to Robinhood's read-only tools; snapshots only ever contain masked account display details.
Settings → Data → Disconnect and Clear Local Data. That clears the Keychain session, your selected account, the latest snapshot, and the local history in one step, returning the app to its disconnected onboarding state.
Like the other Abokado Labs menu bar apps, Stock Meter is distributed directly — signed and notarized by Apple, with Sparkle handling updates — so it can run its local connection helper and store its session in Keychain without App Store sandbox concessions.
Stock Meter is open source under the MIT license, alongside Model Meter, Bandwidth Meter, and Weather Meter. For an app that reads a brokerage account, an open codebase is part of the point — you can see exactly which tools it calls and confirm the read-only allowlist for yourself. Read it, fork it, file an issue, or open a pull request.
