Who runs Stock Meter
Stock Meter is developed and published by Abokado Labs, a small dev shop. It is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Robinhood Markets, Inc. Contact: hello@abokadolabs.com.
How it connects to Robinhood
Stock Meter connects to Robinhood's official Trading connection at agent.robinhood.com using an OAuth browser sign-in. You enter your Robinhood credentials with Robinhood, never with Stock Meter — the app does not see or store your Robinhood password. The app uses only Robinhood's read-only tools (your accounts, portfolio, equity positions, and equity quotes). For some period-performance views it also reads Robinhood's read-only web portfolio performance data. It may also perform public logo and name lookups for display metadata.
What's stored in your Keychain
In the macOS Keychain service com.bobkitchen.StockMeter, Stock Meter stores one consolidated credential record containing the Robinhood OAuth/session material, the web-performance session material (if connected), and the identifier of the account you've selected. This Keychain material is never written to snapshots, logs, or update artifacts.
What's stored on disk
In ~/Library/Application Support/Stock Meter/, the app keeps two files: a latest sanitized snapshot (stock-meter-snapshot.json) and a sanitized local history (stock-meter-history.json) used for week, month, year-to-date, and full-year comparisons. These files are designed to hold only masked account display details, holdings, portfolio totals, quote freshness, and diagnostics. They must not — and are built not to — contain tokens, cookies, raw account numbers, or Robinhood credentials.
Network access
Stock Meter connects to Robinhood and to public display-metadata providers (for logos and names). It does not send your portfolio data to any Abokado Labs server. The app does make one routine outbound request unrelated to your account: Sparkle, the open-source macOS update framework, periodically fetches the appcast at https://abokadolabs.com/stock-meter/appcast.xml over HTTPS to check for new versions. The standard web-server log entry that creates (IP address, timestamp, user agent) is the only record kept on our side, used solely to operate the website. Updates are signed with an EdDSA key whose public half is built into the app; the private half never leaves a developer machine.
What Stock Meter does not do
- It does not place, review, modify, or cancel orders.
- It does not rebalance, write to watchlists, or trade options.
- It does not recommend, rank, or suggest what to buy or sell, and is not financial advice.
- It does not use an Abokado Labs account or backend, and does not send your portfolio data to us.
- It contains no analytics SDKs, crash reporters that phone home, or telemetry of any kind.
Clearing your data
Use Settings → Data → Disconnect and Clear Local Data. That removes the Keychain auth and session material, your selected account state, the latest snapshot, the local history, and any web-performance tokens, returning the app to its disconnected onboarding state.
Children
Stock Meter is a general-purpose finance utility for account holders. It is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect any data, from anyone, of any age.
Changes
If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Material changes will be announced in the app's release notes.
