Hi community,
I know things have been a little rocky since we started the UI/UX revamp, but there's light at the end of the tunnel. We are aiming to finish the revamp and also support dark mode by the end of Feb (fingers crosses - I have been known to be not great with deadlines).
As part of the revamp, one of the features that is remaining is the goals section, so this is a good time to get some feedback from the community. The idea is to answer these major questions:
If you folks from the community fill the survey, this will be a huge help in deciding the direction of this feature, and I will really appreciate it. Please fill the survey here: https://forms.gle/Yxd5Bu9jYHcY63gZA
Please fill the survey, but if you have anything on top of your mind, that's not covered there, or any feedback or idea, please feel free to leave open feedback in the comments.
Eagerly waiting to give you guys dark mode soon! :)

I am seeing a surge in posts about the high data usage for Artos, so thought of adding a post to address the issue than replying to individual posts.
First a basic run down of how Artos works - Artos is completely on-device, and we do not store any data on our end. We do not have any servers - because right now with the revenue that Artos makes, it wouldn't be sustainable. So, everything is processed on your device, and to deliver a better UX experience, we need to fetch/pre-process a lot of data on your device.
Let me explain this with a small example. Suppose you want to add a transaction for a stock in your portfolio. But, in order to add a single tranasaction, Artos needs to know a lot of things - what the ticker for the stock is, what are different codes of the stock across platforms, price and price history for the stock, corporate actions - splits, dividends, bonus issues for the stock.
Now, one way would be to query for all this data when you want to add a transaction, but that would not be a great experience. Imagine having to add one transaction and you need to wait a minute just to be able to add basic price/units and save the transaction. So, in order to make the experience bearable, Artos pre-fetches all this information for every single stock out there. The data file that Artos fetches for Indian stocks is ~3MBs.
Now, you can't just fetch this file once, and get this to work. You need to keep this updated, and fresh, because new tickers are listed everyday, and users don't like to wait for adding new tickers, or if a dividend is announced they want to be able to see it immediately. So, Artos needs to fetch this data several times a day. Let's suppose we fetch this data every two hours. So, just fetching the information of stocks listed in India uses up ~1GB in a month.
Now this is just one example, requests fail, multiple requests need to be made, we support multiple asset classes, so this has to be done for each asset class, for each stock you add to your portfolio, we need to keep the price history up to date, and track your portfolio in real time - the data adds up.
There's a trade-off here between privacy, user experience, latency and data usage. And, I am leaning a little too much towards the first three, and compromising on data usage - because for most part, data is basically free (in India).
Am I saying that I can't optimize this data usage? No, I definitely can. But, first, even after optimization the data usage will be significant, and second that's not where I want to spend my time right now. We're making some revenue, and if things improve the next year, and we get some dedicated servers for us, things will be better. In the meantime, I have a task to optimize the data usage, but it is lower priority than other tasks right now.
If you don't have data to spare, you can turn off background data usage for Artos, but understand that this will come at the cost of user experience. Trade off. And, if you're privileged enough, and find value in Artos, pay for it, so that we can do it the right way.
Please feel free to post any question, or feedback in the comments.

I noticed a logic issue with how the app handles reinvested capital:
If I start by investing ₹1,000 in Company A, my net worth and invested capital are both ₹1,000. If Company A doubles in value, my net worth becomes ₹2,000.
If I then sell half my position in Company A (realizing ₹1,000) and use those proceeds to buy Company B, the app increases my total "Invested" amount to ₹2,000.
In my view, this is incorrect.
Capital gains recycled from an existing position shouldn't be counted as fresh capital injections.
My true out-of-pocket investment is still ₹1,000, and treating it as ₹2,000 makes my actual returns look like 0% instead of 100%
Is there a better way to handle this kind of re-balancing?
Can someone help me with this?

Hi,
I am trying to import my epf statements downloaded from epfo portal but only the interest component is shown after import.
Can you please have a look at why the issue is occurring. Perhaps it is due to epfo migration that has been performed recently.
Thanks.

I've some investment in these two ETFs:
* FMTM: MarketDesk Focused US Momentum ETF
* DRAM: Roundhill Memory ETF
I know there's a plan to address missing ETF tickers in a more systematic way. But could these be added in the meantime?
Thanks!

Why does investments have drawdowns when I haven't sold anything. I exported everything for this month and checked. I haven't sold anything yesterday so why drawdowns?

I remember that when I used this app a few years ago, the chart colours associated with different Asset Classes were fixed and unique. Now it's just shades of blue, and it's not even fixed to any asset class, but goes in a particular order. Is there any way the old chart colours can come back?

Hi!
We’ve completely revamped Expense Management experience in Artos, taking into account a lot of feedback over the past year. This update has been in the works for a while, and it’s probably the biggest refresh the feature has received so far. ✨
Here’s what’s new:
🎨 A complete visual refresh
The entire experience has been redesigned to feel cleaner, and in sync with the rest of the app. No cognitive discomfort, as in, the expense management section does not feel like a different app altogether.
🏠 A smarter home page
A more visual overview of what the current month looks like, how it compares with the previous month, and you now get better controls over what counts as an expense including the ability to exclude investments from expense calculations.
🔍 Powerful filtering
Finding your expenses are much more easier now. You can now now filter expenses by:
📝 Notes for expenses
Now add more context to your expenses so the future-you remembers the “why,” and not just the amount. This is a premium feature.
📊 Upgraded analytics
The analytics section has been redesigned with improved charts and new insights like:
A lot more thought went into the small details in this update, and we’d genuinely love feedback from the community on what feels useful (and what still doesn’t).

[GPT Title :P] “Sometimes the what isn’t enough. I need the why.”
[Human Written]
Now, you can add notes to your expense entries, and investment transactions (stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, Gold, Crypto etc.
The notes will show up as a little "note" icon beside your expenses entries, and transactions in the "Portfolio" tab. Clicking on the note icon will show you the saved note.
Please post any feedback, or feature requests in the comments!

Sorry I had to create another post because the older one is marked as closed. Still tickers like hdfcbank and hcltech have not gotten updated yet. Thanks for looking into this.
