Create your first portfolio

From the dashboard, click "Create Portfolio" and give it a name (e.g., "Roth IRA" or "Taxable Brokerage"). You can create up to 3 portfolios on a free account.

Add your holdings

Add transactions one at a time or import them in bulk via CSV. Always enter the original price and quantity from your brokerage statement — the system handles stock splits automatically.

See: Adding Transactions guide

Explore your dashboard

Once your holdings are in, your dashboard comes alive: dividend income projections, yield on cost, payout schedule, and portfolio analytics — all updated daily.

Research new ideas

Use the Stock Screener and Comparison tools to find dividend stocks that fit your strategy. Every stock has a Dividend Score (A+ to F) measuring safety, growth, and financial health.

Build watchlists of stocks you're tracking, and set alerts for ex-dividend dates, dividend hikes, and price targets so nothing slips by.
