In short
Vigil: Stock Market Alerts watches the S&P 500 and sends one alert after the close only when something unusual happens, such as a big down day or a spike in the fear gauge. It is for investors who want to check the market less often, and it includes a plan feature where users write down their response to a market drop in advance. Its standout feature is that it replays a real past alert so users know what one looks like before one arrives.
Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
Vigil watches the US stock market (the S&P 500) so you don't have to. Most days there is nothing worth your attention, and Vigil says so. When something genuinely unusual happens (a big down day, a new low from the high, a spike in the fear gauge), you get one alert after the close that answers the questions that matter.
SEE ONE BEFORE THE NEXT ONE Setup replays a real past alert (April 4, 2025) with your own number, so you know what an alert looks like long before the next one comes.
WHAT HAPPENED A short summary of how news coverage explained the move, with links to the sources. Written by AI and labeled as reporting, not cause and effect.
WHAT HISTORY SHOWS Every comparable S&P 500 decline since 1950: where it bottomed out, how long the recovery took, and the worst case, not just the average.
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU Enter one rough total, or your exact funds. Vigil turns the day's move into your own number. Your first alert and the replay show it free; Premium shows it in every drop alert and its push.
YOUR OWN PLAN Write down what you will do when the market falls, while you are calm, next to what history says about that level. Vigil shows it back to you word for word when the market gets there.
HOW OFTEN The rules fired about 6 times a year since 1990, more in a crisis, none in quiet years. The past-days list shows every alert they would have sent, and what the index did next.

Funds listed elsewhere are counted by how closely they move with it • English, 中文, Français, Español • No ads, no trading, no stock tips
