I have a lot of tools to monitor crypto on my phone and on the web, I even have desktop widgets that keep me up to date with the current prices. I came across this new tool developed by a Reddit user that I really like. I have a similar tool on mobile but I didn't have a good one for Desktop.
It is called Coinlib and it allows you to favorite coins and just monitors the coins you are interested in, track your portfolio, compare coins and much more. One thing I really like, if you add a trade to your portfolio it will automatically set the price based on the date you enter for your trade.
Monitor Favorite Coins
Here you can see my starred coins I can monitor at an easy glance without all the noise.
There is good filtering for finding and adding coins you are interested in.
Compare Coins
Want to compare the performance of two or more coins?
You can compare up to four coins at once.
Portfolio
Plug in all your major trades and it will keep track of their performance. If you are not sure the price you bought it at, just put in the date and it will gate the price for the day automatically.
I currently only use it for BTC, but you can track all your purchases and even be alerted to changes (see next section).
There is an option to monitor your portfolio live, but I never use that. I just like the quick glance at the top. I don't plan on using the portfolio option much more than just monitoring one or two coins but that may change.
Alerts
Any good system has a way to alert you of major changes. You can set alerts based on coins or your portfolio. They are really simple and easy to setup.
You can also create rolling alerts, if for example, BTC goes up 5%, you can use the new price as the checkpoint for the next alert.
Here are the metrics you can use to create alerts off:
Portfolio alerts allow you to create alerts based on portfolio worth.
You can create as many alerts as you like, and right now they are sent via email. I hope they add Desktop Alerts soon.
Movers and Losers
Like most exchanges, Coinlib has the ability to monitor big movers and losers.
For the most part that is everything it does. It does have a news feed for anything crypto related, which is updated very frequently. There is also a section that shows details of all the Exchanges and the currencies they support.
