A Claude Code plugin that shows stock and crypto quotes with signed percentage
changes above the prompt, with a /pulse panel for adding and removing tickers,
refreshing prices, and pausing updates. Requires Claude Code 2.1.287 or
later, with Mods enabled.
The prices and the /pulse panel also work in Claude Desktop's Code tab:
Install from GitHub:
claude plugin marketplace add fatwang2/Pulse
claude plugin install pulse-cc@pulseRestart Claude Code or run /reload-plugins, then add a stock with
/pulse add AAPL or a crypto pair with /pulse add BTC/USDT, and open /pulse
to manage your watchlist.
See the Claude Code guide for commands,
provider limits, privacy, and local development.
An opencode plugin: a stock and crypto watchlist in the session sidebar, with today's line on every row and a detail view with the day's open, high, low and previous close, plus a one-line quote band along the bottom of the window.
In opencode v2, run opencode plugin add opencode-pulse-ticker. In opencode v1
(1.15+), add it to ~/.config/opencode/tui.json and restart opencode:
{ "plugin": ["opencode-pulse-ticker"] }See the opencode guide for commands and privacy.
A Herdr mod: a stock and crypto watchlist docked beside your agents, with today's line on every row and a detail view with the day's chart, open, high, low and previous close. Comes as a mod and as a "Herdr + Pulse" layout.
Ask the agent running in Herdr:
Read ~/.config/herdr-app/AGENTS.md, then add this layout: https://github.com/fatwang2/Pulse/tree/main/herdr/pulse-layout
See the Herdr guide for the mod on its own, usage and privacy.
A Metrix.Bar dashboard: your first ticker in the menu bar, and a panel with your watchlist, today's line on every row and a detail view with the day's chart, open, high, low and previous close. Press + to search by ticker or company name in English, Chinese, Japanese or Korean; right-click a row to reorder or remove it.
With Metrix.Bar running, run this in Terminal (or open the link in a browser), then confirm in Metrix.Bar:
open "metrixbar://install/pulse?registry_url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Ffatwang2%2FPulse%2Fmain%2Fmetrix%2Findex.json"Installed this way, Metrix.Bar offers new versions as they are published here. See the Metrix.Bar guide for usage, settings and privacy.
An independent Pulse edition for Omarchy, with market data in the bar, named watchlists, symbol search, quote details, charts, and theme-aware presentation. Requires Omarchy 4 and its Quickshell shell.
The existing managed installation continues to use the standalone repository while its installation and update path is migrated:
omarchy plugin add https://github.com/fatwang2/omarchy-pulse.git --enableThe implementation is maintained in omarchy/.
See the Omarchy guide for features and local development,
and repository transition notes for migration details.
