I don't think that's the commonly accepted definition of Native

Why does this require an account other than robinhood?

Does it / Will it support options & crypto?

It supports any stock you have on Robinhood so once you have crypto on Robinhood it will show it too.

does it have realtime chart?

Right now it has real-time tickers. For charts to work I need to find a good reliable real-time historic data as Robinhood does not provide history as part of their API, still looking on it.

Author here, I wrote Robinhood for desktop out of the necessity of staying up to date with my Robinhood investments.

It's open source - https://github.com/sagivo/StockStalk

Like you, I spend most of my day in front of a computer and I need a quick way to see how my Robinhood portfolio is doing.

StockStalk will show you your status on the mac bar (green/red) and click on the tray will show you how each stock is doing. I also plan to allow buy and sell directly within the app. This way there is no need to check your phone all the time and get notified via desktop notifications on sharp changes. At the moment I have a mac and windows versions but linux is coming soon.

Important to notice that no sensitive information is sent to anywhere. the credentials are all stored locally and sync directly with Robinhood API.

Take a look and tell me what you think. Hope you'll find it useful as it's for me.

I'm reading your TOS right now. I'm not well versed with this type of jargon but what is this https://www.fancyhands.com ? Also, from the privacy policy, it seems like you'll be able to sell anonymous data. How "anonymous" would this be?

Great, now i can see how badly i'm doing all the time
