About Open Terminal
Open Terminal by Tesseract Analytics brings professional financial research to individual investors, real SEC data, live market news, AI-powered analysis, and stock charts. Detailed company research, earnings, margins, what filings actually say, has long been locked behind expensive professional tools. Not because the data was scarce, but because the tools to make sense of it were. It combines real SEC Edgar financial data, live market news, company summaries, and an AI you can ask direct questions, no finance background required.
About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
