What it does
Home screen widget
NewAdd a small or medium widget for the live LIT ETF price, today's change, and a 7-day chart — right on your home screen, in your selected currency. It refreshes through the day without opening the app.
Three live lithium prices
Lithium Hydroxide CME futures, the GSCI Lithium Index, and the LIT ETF — all updated throughout the trading day. Charts from 1D through 10Y and MAX, line or dot styles, rotate for fullscreen.
Buy/sell signal on LIT
Where LIT sits in its 3-year price range — Buy Zone, Neutral, or Sell Zone — alongside 50-day and 200-day moving averages and a Trend read. A simple framing for "is lithium expensive or cheap right now?"
Mining stocks & battery ETFs
Lithium mining stocks (ALB, SQM, PLL, LAC, SGML) alongside lithium ETFs (LIT, BATT, REMX, DRIV) and the KraneShares EV ETF (KARS) — the full battery-and-EV supply chain in one place.
EV Market compare chart
Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, NIO, XPeng, Li Auto, BYD, GM, Ford, VW and more on a single compare chart. Each ticker gets its own fixed colour — no more red/green flipping based on direction — so the chart reads at a glance.
Picks & Shovels
A Premium section of companies that profit from lithium demand — heavy equipment makers like Caterpillar, mining service providers, and infrastructure plays. A different angle on lithium exposure beyond the miners themselves.
Portfolio with realized P&L
Track LIT, ALB, SQM, PLL, LAC and other lithium-sector positions. Live P&L per position, gifts flagged separately, and realized profit logged across every closed position when you record a sale.
Signals
Live financial news from Reuters, Bloomberg, Mining.com and more — each with the publisher's logo. Plus live Polymarket prediction-market odds on the forces driving lithium demand: Tesla quarterly numbers, Rivian deliveries, EV sales targets, battery supply chains.
Smarter sentiment + seasonal
A Bullish / Bearish / Neutral badge blending short-term momentum, 50-day trend health, and news-headline tone. Plus a 10-year monthly seasonal-return chart — see which months lithium has historically been strongest.

What is the EV Market tab?
A dedicated tab tracking the major EV manufacturers — Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, NIO, XPeng, Li Auto, BYD — on a single compare chart. Each ticker gets its own fixed colour (no more red/green flipping based on direction) so you can read the chart at a glance.
How does the realized profit work when I sell?
When you sell a position, record the sale price and date — Lithium Watcher logs the realized gain and rolls it into a running cumulative profit across all of your closed positions. Gifts can be marked separately so they don't inflate the profit number.
What are Prediction Markets?
A live read of Polymarket bets on the forces driving lithium demand — Tesla quarterly numbers, Rivian deliveries, EV sales targets, battery supply chains — pulled into a section of the Charts tab.
What does the Smarter Sentiment badge do?
A Bullish / Bearish / Neutral indicator that blends short-term price momentum, the health of the 50-day trend, and the tone of recent news headlines into one signal.
What about seasonal patterns?
A 10-year average monthly return chart shows which months lithium has historically been strongest and weakest — useful for timing entries with data instead of guesswork.
What currencies are supported?
USD, CAD, EUR, GBP, AUD, JPY, CHF, CNY, INR, and more. Pick one and the entire app switches.
What does Premium cost?
Free to download. The Portfolio and EV Market tabs are unlocked with a Lithium Watcher subscription at $1.99 per month or $4.99 per year. The yearly plan comes with a 7-day free trial.
