About
Precious Metals Manager is a feature-rich iOS and macOS app designed for precious metals investors and stackers who want full control over their portfolio. Supporting all major metals—Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, and Copper—the app allows users to create and manage orders, items, sales, and bullion presets with ease. The app connects to live spot price feeds across 14 currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, BTC, and ETH, ensuring your portfolio valuation is always current. A searchable database of over 300 pre-filled coin profiles accelerates data entry, while custom profiles can be created for unique holdings. Key analytics features include gain/loss tracking, gold/silver ratio, dollar-cost averaging, total weight by metal, average premium paid, and portfolio rebalancing strategies. Live charts allow users to analyze trends and relationships between metals and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. For tax season, the app generates annual reports covering capital gains/losses and portfolio value snapshots. Data can be exported to CSV or JSON, and attachments (photos and files) can be linked directly to orders and items. Security is handled via Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode, with iCloud backup and partial data encryption. Precious Metals Manager is completely private—no account required, no ads, and no tracking. It operates on a freemium model with a subscription unlocking all advanced features.
