Introduction
Most portfolio trackers stop at the number. Green means good, red means bad, and if you want to know why, that’s a separate tab, a separate app, or a group chat with someone who read the news this morning and you didn’t.
FolioOrb closes that gap. It’s a self-hosted dashboard that combines:
- Live portfolio math — value, cost basis, daily change, unrealized gain, allocation
- A verdict engine — Hold / Add / Trim / Exit signals with confidence and scenario context
- Analytics — performance, risk, exposure, regime, signals, benchmark comparison
- News — grouped headlines for everything you hold or watch
- DCA auto-invest, simulated locally — mirror a recurring buy at real historical closes into a review bucket you apply or undo
- Optional Claude narration — action plans, portfolio briefings, and news themes when you bring a key
It runs entirely on your own computer — use it in your browser as a local web app, or install it as a desktop app for macOS or Windows. Either way it keeps its database in local SQLite and does not connect to a brokerage or place trades. It’s for understanding what your portfolio is doing and why — not for pulling the trigger on anything.
No Anthropic key, no problem. Local Intelligence runs every verdict, scenario, and analytic for free — Claude only adds narration on top, it never gates the core experience.
