Marketeer

A personal macro + micro economics command centre. Single-binary desktop app in Rust (egui) that puts markets, budgets, and an AI research analyst in one frameless window — fully local, no accounts, no telemetry.

Pre-release: Currently only supports Australia

What it does

Macro dashboard

• Live market cards: AUD/USD, S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones, gold, silver, BTC, XMR
• RBA cash rate and AU CPI (year-over-year, computed in-app)
• Range selector (1D / 1W / 1M / 6M / 1Y / 5Y / Max) with per-range change badges
• Country selector (10 countries; Australia active)
• Auto + manual refresh through a background worker thread
• Data is stored in the database to avoid constant refresh

Budget screen

• Monthly spreadsheet of colour-coded spending categories, split into Recurring and One-off sections (custom categories, custom colours, negative amounts allowed)
• Manual monthly income and a manually entered, per-month cumulative savings value (click to edit — never auto-computed)
• Bottom cards: SPENT THIS MONTH, SAVED THIS MONTH, CUMULATIVE SAVINGS
• Two pie charts: savings vs spending, and spending by category, with grid legends
• View > Budget > options: count one-off spending in the category pie; auto colour-sort (rainbow palette)
• Month navigation; data stored per month

AI research chat

• Any OpenAI-compatible chat API (OpenRouter by default), streaming
• Your live market data is injected as context, so answers reference your actual dashboard
• Tools: web_search (DuckDuckGo) and web_fetch — the model can research before answering
• Reasoning traces, markdown rendering, stop button mid-generation
• Token usage and cost: per-request figures beside the latest reply, cumulative totals in the header — persisted across restarts, reset only when the chat is cleared
• Conversation history persisted locally

Data sources (free / official)

Source	Series
FRED	SP500, NASDAQCOM, DJIA, RBA cash rate (IRSTCI01AUM156N), AU CPI (AUSCPIALLQINMEI)
Frankfurter (ECB)	AUD/USD daily
Kraken	BTC, XMR OHLC + live tickers
LBMA	Gold, silver
Yahoo	Intraday + Long term

FRED needs a free API key (enter in Settings). Everything else is keyless.

Storage

Everything lives in ~/.economy.db (SQLite): price history, chat, settings, and all budget data. Delete the file to start fresh.

Project layout

Deliberately minimal: the entire application is one file, src/main.rs.

• eframe/egui 0.36 UI with embedded IBM Plex Mono
• egui_plot for charts, custom-painted pie charts
• ureq for HTTP, no async runtime
• rusqlite (bundled) for persistence
• Background worker thread + channel; UI never blocks on network
