cointop
Terminal-based cryptocurrency price tracker with real-time market data, portfolio management, and vim-inspired shortcuts
cointop is a terminal-based cryptocurrency tracking application that displays real-time coin price data in an htop-inspired interface. The TUI provides live market statistics, price charts, and supports multiple data sources including CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap APIs. Users can navigate using vim-inspired keyboard shortcuts and customize the interface with various colorschemes.
The tool includes portfolio tracking functionality for monitoring holdings and calculating profit/loss, along with a favorites system for quick access to specific coins. It features fuzzy search capabilities for finding coins, currency conversion, and price alert notifications. The application supports both mouse interaction and keyboard-only operation, with offline caching to maintain functionality without network connectivity.
cointop targets developers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts who prefer command-line interfaces for market monitoring. It can run continuously with auto-refresh capabilities while maintaining minimal resource usage. The application also offers a public SSH server demo at cointop.sh for trying the interface without installation.
