Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you want a desktop view of selected exchange pairs or DEX tokens and alerts for price movements, rather than relying only on a quick chart or manual price checks.

Who it is for

  • Desktop users who want to follow selected cryptocurrency trading pairs in one dashboard.
  • Users tracking DEX tokens across networks such as Solana, Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain.
  • Developers interested in a Python and PyQt6 implementation of a crypto price monitor.

Documented uses

  • Monitor prices for selected OKX and Binance trading pairs.
  • Track DEX token prices and metadata across supported networks.
  • View price movements with mini charts.
  • Set threshold or step alerts for price levels, intervals or percentage changes.
  • Open a pair’s trading page in a browser from its dashboard card.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository provides releases for users and is licensed under AGPL-3.0. The project says Windows is the only tested platform; macOS and Linux compatibility has not been verified.

  • Exchange-pair updates are documented from OKX and Binance over WebSockets; DEX token prices and metadata are sourced through DexScreener.
  • The alert system supports threshold conditions and step-based intervals or percentage changes, with native notifications and optional sounds.
  • Python 3.10+, PyQt6 and QFluentWidgets are the documented stack; the README gives uv run main.py as the developer run command.
  • Built-in proxy support is listed for restricted network environments.
  • Windows is the only tested platform according to the project documentation.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Add a trading pair and configure its alert

Track a supported trading pair and create or manage a price alert for it.

Before you start

  • Crypto Monitor installed from the project’s Releases page.
  • A supported trading-pair name, such as BTC-USDT.

Steps

  1. Click the plus control to add a trading pair.

  2. Right-click the pair’s card and choose Add Alert to create an alert, or View Alerts to manage existing alerts.

Expected outcome

The pair appears as a card, with an alert configured or existing alerts available to manage.

Guide limitations

  • The README documents Windows as the only tested platform; macOS and Linux compatibility is unverified.
  • The README describes threshold and step alert types but does not detail every settings field or alert trigger configuration.
