What JStock is
JStock is free stock-investment software for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. It organizes stock-market information to help users track investments and make strategy decisions, covering one asset class: stocks. The features page lists 28 world stock markets, unlimited watchlists, and portfolio tools for transaction records, cash management, dividend management, and multiple portfolios. Alerts can arrive by email, system tray, or sound. Intraday snapshots are captured every 10 seconds for up to two hours, with real-time or delayed prices depending on the country. JStock provides up to 10 years of stock and index history, performance reporting, technical indicators, and drag-and-drop filtering rules that require no programming. It also supplies individual stock news and local-currency views for foreign stocks. Cloud storage uses private Google Drive with OAuth 2.0 and SSL; JStock says it never stores Google passwords.
