I make recurring payments that require exchange. I’m absolutely not financially savvy. I’m good at managing my personal budget but when it comes to financial jargon and market know hows I’m a dummy.

I’m looking for some kind of tool that helps me monitor exchange rates and sends me alerts. I’m hoping to make the payments in as much of a favorable window as possible.

I tried installing Revolut but I’m not going to use it (I can only make the payments with Western Union) and I found all the data they requested just too much for nothing.

I hope you Lemmies can recommend a FOSS app for this? Or at least something privacy friendly? Remember I’m not using it to pay, just to monitor.

TIA

    Sounds like they need my phone, address, name, etc. which I’m trying to avoid. I just want to monitor. I don’t want the app to transfer or exchange money.

      I don’t have an account there, I only use the app when I need to know what are the rates at that moment.
