What is alphai-tui?

alphai-tui is a terminal application for watching stocks, built in Rust using the ratatui library. It puts live price quotes and charts side by side with AI scored financial news and insider trading activity, all inside your terminal instead of a browser. The default view is called Split, showing a watchlist and price chart in the top half of the screen with a news feed underneath. From there you can switch to other views. The News view shows articles for a chosen ticker, the whole market, or the top trending stories over the last 48 hours, each with a full AI analysis card covering a price impact prediction, confidence, relevance, background context, key people involved, and an opposing view. You can filter articles by a relevance score, and new articles carry a marker since you last checked them. The Table view lists your watchlist with price, change, day range, and small text based sparkline charts. The Chart view draws a candlestick chart with moving average lines and an RSI indicator panel, and lets you switch to a simpler line chart style. The Insider view shows SEC Form 4 filings, official records of company insiders buying or selling their own stock, with a rolling 30 day summary of buys versus sells and the most active insiders. Price data works immediately with no signup, pulling from Yahoo Finance by default. The news, sentiment, and insider data come from a separate service called AlphaAI, which needs a free API key to unlock. You can install it through Homebrew, download a prebuilt binary for macOS, Linux, or Windows, or build it yourself with Rust's cargo tool if you have Rust 1.85 or newer installed. Settings such as your price source and API keys are entered once in an in-app settings screen and saved to a config file, so after the first run you can just launch it plainly. Command line flags let you set the poll interval, the historical range shown, and the candle size for one off runs. The project is released under the MIT license.
