About this app

Is the US market open right now?

New York trades while much of the world sleeps, and the answer moves twice a year when daylight saving time shifts. US Stock Time works out the current state of the market and counts down to the next change — in your own time zone.

■ What it does

・Tells you the market's state at a glance
Regular hours (MARKET OPEN), pre-market, after-hours, closed, holidays and half days, each in its own colour. Six possible states, one look.

・Counts down to the next open or close
Hours, minutes and seconds. During the session it runs to the closing bell; when the market is shut it runs to the next open.

・The home screen widget counts down every second
Android widgets normally refresh no more than twice an hour. This one uses a view that keeps its own time, so the countdown on your home screen ticks down second by second without opening the app.

・Handles daylight saving time for you
EDT and EST are detected automatically. The app shows Eastern time alongside your local time, so there is nothing left to convert in your head.

・A 24-hour timeline shows where you are
Pre-market, the regular session and after-hours are drawn as bands, with a marker at the current moment. You can see how far off the open is without reading a number.

・Holidays and early closes are calculated, not listed
Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Good Friday and the rest, plus the half days that close at 13:00 ET — the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, the day before Independence Day. The next holiday and the next early close are always on screen.

・A conversion table for the sessions
Pre-market, regular and after-hours, given in Eastern time and in your local time, for both summer and winter.

・Landscape layout
Turn the phone and the display becomes two columns with larger figures — readable from across a desk.

■ Who it is for

・Anyone holding US equities from outside New York
・Anyone who does not want to miss an earnings call or a jobs report
・Anyone tired of looking up whether daylight saving has started
・Anyone who just wants to know how many hours are left before the open

■ No ads, no tracking

There are no advertisements in this app, no affiliate links, and no tracking or analytics SDK.

Trading hours are worked out from the date arithmetic on your device, and this feature itself does not communicate with anything. No data is collected or sent, and no account is needed.

The only time the app talks to anything is if you use the optional "tip" feature, which contacts Google Play to process the payment. That connection is used for payment processing only — not for collecting usage data or tracking. If you never use the tip feature, this never happens.

Beyond that, the only permission it requests is "receive boot completed", which it uses to rebuild the widget's countdown after you restart the phone. It shows no runtime prompt.

■ Please note

This app reports exchange business hours. It is not investment advice. Trading hours can change with US holiday legislation or by decision of the exchanges. Check the hours published by your own broker before trading.
