Each trade takes a ticker, the executions as they happen — entry, scale-in, partial close, full close, tracked separately — an optional stop, a strategy tag, a confidence level, notes, and one of six emotions: Confident, Anxious, FOMO, Revenge, Calm, Overconfident. The reports are built on those tags. P/L by emotion and by strategy, win rate, average R-multiple from the stop you recorded, a time-of-day breakdown, a daily P/L calendar heatmap, green-day streaks, an equity curve that groups same-day exits, and a weekly report with realised P/L, best and worst days and the daily trend. Open positions show a live price and unrealised P/L, looked up by ticker; a Quick Close button pre-fills that price. The product is published as Mantis and sold on the App Store by Rinalds Domanovs, an individual developer; no company name or address appears on the website or the store page, and support is an email address on the product's domain. It was TradeTrackr until version 2.0.0 in March 2026. The App Store history starts at version 1.0 on 28 April 2025 and runs to 2.3.1 on 18 October 2026, about twenty releases in eighteen months. Six ratings on the US store at the time of writing. ## Pricing Free is ten trades a month with no account and no card: position tracking with live prices, emotion and strategy tags, basic analytics, and the weekly report for the current week only. Premium is $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year, in US dollars and varying by region, bought as an Apple in-app purchase. It removes the trade cap and adds past weekly reports, R-multiples, deeper emotion analytics, CSV import and export, and the Interactive Brokers Flex Query import. The vendor's pages disagree on the trial. The website's pricing section says no card and no trial; the App Store lists four in-app purchases, two of them 7-day-trial variants of the monthly and annual plans, and the store description says Premium starts with a seven-day trial. The terms say subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and that no refund is given for part of a period. ## Data & coverage Whatever you type or import: the vendor says any tradeable instrument, and names stocks, ETFs, options, futures, forex and crypto, with company logos on the position cards. No exchange, market or currency is named anywhere. The live price on an open position is looked up by ticker from a source the vendor does not identify, with no statement of whether it is real-time or delayed; it needs a connection, while logging works offline. The journal holds no market data beyond that lookup: no price charts for a trade, no MFE or MAE. ## Integrations Three named CSV sources, TraderSync, Tradervue and Interactive Brokers, plus the app's own CSV format and, per the store description, a standard export from any broker that the app maps itself; each file is capped at 5 MB or 2,000 rows, and import is Premium. Interactive Brokers can also be pulled through a Flex Query for a date range, with duplicate detection and an optional diagnostics count that can be mailed to support without symbols or prices. Export is CSV, on Premium. No API, no webhooks, no MCP server, no iCloud sync. ## Limitations - iPhone only, by the vendor's own account: no Android, no web app, and the App Store's iPad and M1 Mac builds are the same app, the Mac one labelled not verified. - No cloud copy. That is the pitch, and it also means no second device, no restore after a lost phone, and a backup that exists only as a Premium CSV export. - Broker sync is Interactive Brokers alone, on demand, on Premium. Everyone else exports a file. - Ten trades a month on Free is a cap on trades, not executions; an active day trader exhausts it in a session or two. - No MFE, MAE or price charts, so nothing in the journal critiques the exit against where the price went while you were in. - The vendor's pages disagree about the trial, about which analytics are free, and about the emotion list: the store description names confident, patient, fearful and impulsive where the website names six others. Read the version on your phone, not the marketing. - A one-person publisher with no named company, about twenty releases in eighteen months, and six store ratings. The record of updates is real; the record of longevity is short. - The home page's "no third-party access — ever" is narrower than the privacy policy, which discloses Firebase analytics and crash reporting; the App Store privacy label says the same. ## Alternatives [TraderSync](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/tradersync) and [TradesViz](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/tradesviz) have phone apps beside a web journal, with broker import that the phone is a window onto. [StonkJournal](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/stonkjournal) is the other free manual-entry journal, in a browser, with no trade cap at all. [Tradervue](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/tradervue) imports 30 trades a month free with price charts and MFE/MAE on every trade. [Edgewonk](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/edgewonk) built its whole product around the tags and the psychology, at $197 a year on the web. ## FAQ ### Is Mantis the same app as TradeTrackr? Yes. The App Store release notes for version 2.0.0, dated 19 March 2026, say TradeTrackr is now Mantis, and the privacy policy and terms the store links still live under a tradetrackr path on the developer's own domain. Version 1.0 shipped on 28 April 2025; the current build at the time of writing is 2.3.1, from 18 October 2026. ### What does the free plan actually include? Ten trades a month with no account, and the vendor's pages do not all draw the line in the same place. The website's pricing section puts position tracking, live prices, emotion tags and basic analytics on the free side and unlimited trades, past weekly reports, CSV import and export, R-multiples and the Interactive Brokers import on Premium. The App Store description lists emotion analytics and the full analytics dashboard as Premium too. ### Does it sync with my broker? Only Interactive Brokers, through a Flex Query that you run from inside the app for a date range — since the last pull, the last seven days or a custom range — and only on Premium. Everything else arrives as a CSV file, either from TraderSync, Tradervue and Interactive Brokers by name or a standard broker export that the app maps itself, with a cap of 5 MB or 2,000 rows per file. The vendor says plainly that there is no automatic sync for other brokers. ### Where is my data, and is there a backup? On the phone. There is no account, and the vendor says there is no cloud copy of the journal, which also means no sync to a second device and no restore if the phone is lost. The only way out is the CSV export, which is a Premium feature; neither the site nor the App Store page mentions iCloud. The privacy policy does name Firebase analytics and crash reporting, which the home page's "no third-party access" line leaves out. ### Does it run on Android, the web or a Mac? The vendor says Mantis is an iPhone app and that there is no Android app and no web app. The App Store page shows it as designed for iPad, installable on M1 or later Macs with a "not verified for macOS" label, and requiring iOS 18 or later. ## Also worth comparing - [Chartlog](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/chartlog.md) — A cheap US stocks-and-options day-trading journal whose website stopped moving in 2022. - [StonkJournal](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/stonkjournal.md) — A free manual-entry trade journal with no trade cap; $10 adds file import and an AI coach. - [TradeFuse](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/tradefuse.md) — A web trade journal with Monte Carlo projections and AI chat; auto-import starts at $49. - [Trademetria](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/trademetria.md) — Multi-asset trade journal and tracker with a free plan and a 194-name import list. - [TradeNote](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/tradenote.md) — The open-source trade journal you run in Docker, or rent hosted for $4.99 a month. - [TraderSync](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/tradersync.md) — Trade journal with options spread detection on Elite and market replay down to 250ms.
