StockCar
StockCar turns the assets you actually hold into a short, personalized audio show. Add your tickers, hit play, and hear what moved, why it may have moved, and what is relevant before the next session.
It is the financial podcast I wanted and could never find: about my portfolio, not the market at large or a stranger’s high-conviction picks.

The thing I actually wanted
I spend a lot of time away from a desk: commuting, running, lifting, cooking, walking the neighborhood. That is exactly when I want to know what is happening with the things I own, and charts do not help in any of those moments.
StockCar is built for that gap. Hit play, listen for a couple of minutes, get on with your day.
No account, no friction
Most finance apps assume you will create an account, link a brokerage, and hand over personal data before you can see anything. StockCar refuses that pattern.
- No account required
- No brokerage linking
- Your positions are not stored on a server
- Your tickers are only used to generate your episode
- Free on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, no paywall to listen
More than stocks
Almost no one holds only equities anymore. StockCar treats stocks, crypto, indices, and FX as one feed. Stocks update before, during, and after the bell. Crypto updates around the clock. No switching tabs to see the other half of your net worth.
Seven AI cohosts
A cast of AI cohosts, each with a distinct voice and personality, can present the same five tickers as an anchor read, a skeptical take, or a quant breakdown. The right voice changes how an episode lands and turns the same data into a show you actually want to hear.
A morning with StockCar
Headphones in, start walking the dog, hit play. Two or three minutes later I know which of my positions moved overnight, what appears to have moved them, and what is scheduled today that might matter. By the time I am back at the door I am caught up, and I never opened a chart.
That is the whole design brief. The app is not competing for your screen time. It is competing with the twenty minutes you would otherwise spend scrolling a brokerage app to learn the same five things.
What StockCar will not do
It will not give you advice, price targets, or a buy and sell list. It reports what happened to things you already hold and what may have caused it. That boundary is the product: the moment an app starts telling you what to do, you have to start asking who benefits.
It will not connect to your brokerage, and it does not want to. Linking an account is the most invasive thing a finance app can ask for, and the episode it would enable is not meaningfully better than the one you get from typing in your tickers.
Free, and why
StockCar is free with no paywall on listening and no account to create. Episodes cost me real money to generate, so this is a decision rather than a growth tactic: it is the app I wanted to exist for myself, the cost scales with how much I use it, and charging for it would mean building a business around it that I do not want to build.
