Do alerts work when the app is closed?
Yes. Alerts are evaluated on our servers rather than on your phone, so the app can be fully closed or even force-quit and alerts still arrive as push notifications. Your phone only needs to be able to receive a notification — which also means the app isn't sitting in the background draining your battery.
Which markets does it cover?
Crypto, US stocks, metals and commodities including gold, silver, oil and copper, and major currency pairs. All of them live in one watchlist, so you can hold Bitcoin next to gold and the dollar — which is the only way the relationships between them become visible rather than something you infer across four apps.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan covers price and percentage alerts, portfolio tracking and market sentiment, with no card required. Paid tiers raise the alert limits and unlock the deeper analysis — trend and breakout detection, derivatives positioning and extended technical readings.
Does it need access to my wallet or exchange account?
No. Wallet tracking is read-only and uses public addresses only, which cannot authorise a transfer of any kind — reading a blockchain and spending from it require completely different things. We never ask for a private key or recovery phrase, and the app has no technical ability to move your funds.
Will alerts wake me up at night?
Only if you want them to. Crypto trades around the clock and its largest moves often land overnight, so quiet hours let you set a window where alerts are delivered silently and recorded in your activity list. Nothing is lost — you see it in the morning instead of at 4am.
What makes it different from my exchange's built-in alerts?
Exchange alerts only cover assets that exchange lists, rarely cover other asset classes at all, and disappear if you move venues. They also tend to be simple price triggers. CoinPriceAlert adds percentage alerts over a window, bulk rules that scan an entire market segment, quiet hours, and coverage of stocks, metals and currencies alongside crypto — and it never needs access to your funds, because watching a market requires no permissions at all.
