If you hold an ETF, you already know the problem. There are thousands of headlines a day, and almost none of them tell you whether anything happened to the fund you actually own. Kledon is our answer to that. It's now live on the App Store and Google Play, and while we're in beta, every feature is free.
What Kledon is
Kledon reads the day's market news for the ETFs and stocks you follow and gives you one short, plain-English brief per ticker. Each brief says what happened, why it matters for that holding, and gives a clear read on the day. It takes about 90 seconds to read, so you get the gist without a wall of headlines.
Every brief ends with a verdict: a STRONG, MIXED, or WEAK read on the session, with the specific factors behind it. On days when nothing meaningful happened, the brief says QUIET rather than inventing a story to fill the space.
Built for ETF investors
ETFs don't put out press releases, so most news apps have very little to say about them. Kledon looks through each fund to its biggest holdings, gathers the news that actually moves them, and ties it back to the fund you hold. If you own VWCE, you get the story behind VWCE, not a feed of disconnected Apple and Microsoft headlines.
We cover 87 tickers today. That's 14 UCITS ETFs, the European versions you actually buy on Trade Republic, Scalable, or Degiro, including VUAA, IWDA, CNDX, and EIMI. The other 73 are large-cap stocks for anyone who holds a mix. The list is curated on purpose, and here's how we choose what goes on it.
What's in the beta
- A morning brief and a close brief. One read before the market opens and one after it closes, on every trading day.
- Your watchlist. Follow the ETFs and stocks you hold, all in one place.
- Alerts in one feed. New headlines and verdict changes across everything you follow, so you don't have to open each ticker.
- Home-screen widgets. Your latest verdict and headlines at a glance, with weekend headlines while the market is closed.
- Push notifications. A nudge when your brief is ready. You can mute them per ticker.
- Light and dark mode. The app follows your phone's setting, or you can pin it to light or dark. The widgets follow too.
- Ticker requests. Missing something you hold? Request it from the watchlist and it goes straight into our review queue.
Free while we're in beta
There's no paywall, no trial clock, and no card to enter. Every feature is unlocked for everyone during the beta. Paid plans will come later. For now we want people using Kledon every day and telling us what works and what doesn't.
That feedback matters a lot to us. If a brief misses something, a verdict feels off, or a ticker you need is missing, tell us in the app's settings or at hello@kledon.app. We read everything.
