Hi HN, I'm Weilun, cofounder of OpenChart. We built OpenChart because we wanted Claude and Codex to interface with the markets, like most of humans do, through charts rather than through CLIs. With your existing AI plans, your agent can work directly with your charts: annotate a setup, write an indicator, investigate a market move, or create an alert. The chart, conversation, and research live in the same workspace. OpenChart alerts on any market move: draw any shape on a chart and attach an alert. When price crosses it, the alert triggers your agent to investigate the move and save the research in your workspace. The agents can work with charts, indicators, and alerts. Custom indicators and alert conditions are written in [Tea]( https://github.com/longsurf-ai/tea ), a programming language we built for the markets. We believe software shouldn’t impose artificial friction on your workflow. OpenChart is built on that belief with no software cap. The source code is publicly available, and you can use free market data from day one. We also offer optional paid cloud market data for lower latency. Everything is private. Your charts, research, and indicator code are stored on your own computer, with the app's backend running locally too. We currently support only macOS on Apple Silicon, but we're expanding to more platforms. Website: https://openchart.co/ Download: https://downloads.longsurf.ai/openchart/darwin/arm64/OpenCha... We built OpenChart because we want to explore how assets can be co-manages by agents and humans. I'd especially like to hear how you are using agents to help with your investment journey. If you like what we're building, a star on GitHub would mean a lot to us: https://github.com/longsurf-ai/openchart

Wow, amazing product!

Really like the design choice of keeping everything local (charts, research, indicator code). Privacy-first + open source + agent-native is a combination I haven't seen anyone else ship for markets. Following this closely.

Very interesting work, finally we have a local first unification layer on codex and cc

Watch alert-triggered runs: after an hour idle my Claude Code sessions rewrote ~130k cache tokens.

This is seriously awesome. AI agents + interactive charts is exactly the workflow I’ve been waiting for. Can’t wait to try it!

I really need an open-source alternative to TradingView, ideally something that can run locally. Now got it, thanks :)

Haven’t been this excited about a project in a long time! I haven’t found any other tool that integrates a Claude subscription as seamlessly as OpenChart does. Well done guys! As a casual trader, I’d personally love to see iOS/Android support at some point. That would make this incredibly useful for me day to day.
