Where does the price data come from? The app connects directly to the Binance public API. This ensures the numbers you see match the exchange rates in real time.
Do I need a Binance account? No. You do not need an account to view public prices. The app uses public data feeds which require no login or personal information.
How do the floating tags work? Once you activate a tag for a specific coin, it appears as a small window on your desktop. You can click and drag this window to any location that suits your workspace.
Does the app track my activity? No. The software performs one task: fetching public price data. It does not collect user data, monitor your browsing, or store personal files.
