A working system

Pulse

Markets, currencies and decisions — in one place.

Our money lives in two countries. Rupees in India, dollars abroad, a currency line running between them that moves every day whether we look at it or not. For years the answer to where do we actually stand? meant opening six apps, three brokerages and a spreadsheet, and still guessing.

Pulse is what I built instead. One dashboard that reads everything at once and answers that question honestly, in both currencies, every morning.

What it holds

Markets
Gold, silver, indices, the currency pair that matters
Holdings
Stocks, mutual funds, metals — live, not last month's
The house
What the Sydney deposit is worth today
The month
What comes in, what goes out, what is left

It also keeps the dates that decide things — when a holding turns long-term, when a visa window opens. The kind of detail that is obvious in hindsight and expensive to miss.
