Welcome to Evibe — and a quick word on what we're building
A short note from the team about why Evibe exists, who it's for, and what to expect from this blog.
We started Evibe because every tool we tried for tracking our portfolios stopped at one of two places: it covered our stocks but ignored everything else we owned, or it tried to do everything and ended up looking like an Excel spreadsheet from 2009.
If you invest seriously, the picture you actually care about is everything you own: your equities, your crypto, your options, your bonds, but also that apartment you bought five years ago, the angel check you wrote to a friend's startup, the car that's slowly losing value in the garage, even the watch you're hoping to flip later.
That's the picture Evibe gives you — in real time, in any currency, on every device you actually use.
Why a native Apple app
We're a small team. We can either build everything mediocrely on six platforms, or we can build something exceptional on the one we use ourselves. We chose the second.
That means:
- A SwiftUI iOS app that respects every Apple convention you already know.
- A real Mac app — not a Catalyst port. Window management, keyboard shortcuts, the works.
- Widgets on both platforms, kept in sync as the markets move.
- macOS Bars: thin, always-on-top quote bars that float above your work. (More on those soon.)
What this blog is for
A few things:
- Product notes — what we shipped, why, what we learned.
- Investing tradecraft — short, focused pieces on how serious investors track and reason about their portfolios.
- Behind the scenes — interesting engineering or design problems we ran into.
We're not going to write filler. If you subscribe, expect maybe one post a fortnight when we have something genuinely worth saying.
Our job is to build a tool you'd recommend to your most demanding investor friend. Everything else flows from that.
If you have feedback, push back, or just want to say hi — the Requests page is where the roadmap is decided. We read every entry.
Thanks for being early.
