Free for Mac, Windows and the browser
Pick a stock. Veduta shows where its price may land in a week, a month or three months, as a range, and later checks how often that range was right. Made for learning how markets move: it never tells you to buy or sell.
Made by Jaden as a free project: no ads, no account, nothing for sale.
Every horizon, misses included
Tested on seven and a half years of real prices: at a month, the 9 in 10 band held 90.6% of the time, where 90% is the aim. See the test
An example stock: a year of made-up daily prices, then the band the app's own model draws from them for the next month. The darker band is where half of the simulated paths end, the lighter one where 9 in 10 do.
The app's four main pages, drawn plainly. Scroll, and each one turns into the next.
Its chart first, then where the price is likely to be in a week, a month or three, then the signals and statistics under it. The headline is the range, because at those horizons a range is all a model can fairly give.
Milan and Paris listings are valued at the day's exchange rate and shown in the currency you choose. Risk comes with its margin of error attached: how closely it follows the market (beta), what it earned for the risk it took (Sharpe ratio), and a simulated worst month.
Your portfolio and how it moved, what changed since you last looked, the indices, and what is coming up this week. Light, dark or mixed, or following your system.
Every band the app draws is logged and scored when its day comes. The Scorecard shows how often the bands held what they claimed, and says so plainly when they were too narrow. With enough scored, the app widens its own bands to match.
The stock here is simulated, drawn the way the app draws a real one. Each step plays as you reach it.
Six months of daily closes for a made-up stock. Everything after this comes from them.
Every day's move, big or small. Big recent swings widen the forecast, and a quiet stretch lets it narrow. The app fits a GARCH model to exactly this.
Each path is one way the next month could go, with the stock's own size of moves and the odd heavy day. The app runs 600 for a chart, 2,000 for a tracked stock and 6,000 in a deep analysis.
Half of them end inside the dark band and 9 in 10 inside the light one. That range is the forecast. No single line is.
When the month is up, the real price is compared with the band. Every forecast is scored this way, and when bands miss more often than they claim, the app widens them by the shortfall.
Two dials and a made-up $100 stock. Move them to see how the swings and the trend shape the band. In the app, a real stock's band also follows its own history, its earnings dates and the news.
About two minutes. Your computer asks you to confirm once, because Veduta is free and does not have a paid developer certificate yet.
On a school laptop, or a computer that will not let you install apps? Use it in the browser, with nothing to install.
Why your computer asks you to confirm. Veduta is free and is not signed with Apple's or Microsoft's paid developer certificate yet, so macOS and Windows cannot vouch for it and ask you to confirm once. You never have to turn off a security setting for it.
Every version is published on GitHub, with its full release history, and each file has a fingerprint (SHA-256), shown next to its download button below. Work out your file's fingerprint and compare the two. If they match, the file is the one that was published.
On a Mac, in Terminal: shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Veduta-*.dmg
On Windows, in PowerShell: Get-FileHash $HOME\Downloads\Veduta-*-windows.zip
The app checks the fingerprint of every update itself before installing it.
Download Veduta, then open the file from your Downloads.
In the window that opens. You can then eject the disk image and bin it.
Open Veduta from Applications. macOS says Apple could not check it for malware, because it is not signed with a paid Apple developer certificate yet. Click Done, not Move to Trash (Move to Bin on some Macs).
Within the next hour, open System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom, and click Open Anyway next to Veduta. Confirm with your password or Touch ID, and choose Open Anyway when it asks again. On macOS 14, Control-click Veduta in Applications and choose Open instead.
The first launch fetches your first prices. After that it opens in a few seconds, and updates itself when a new version is out.
Rarely needed: try the steps above first. This happens on some Macs when Open Anyway never appears. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities), paste this line, press Return, then open Veduta again. It removes the "downloaded from the internet" mark from Veduta only, and changes no other setting.
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Veduta.appOn an Apple silicon Mac with an older macOS? Use the Intel version: it runs there through Rosetta.
To check which Mac you have: Apple menu > About This Mac. A line saying Chip with Apple M1 or later means Apple silicon, so use the first tab. A line saying Processor with Intel in it means this one.
It is a separate build, made for Intel processors. Download Veduta for Intel, then open the file from your Downloads.
In the window that opens, then eject the disk image.
macOS says Apple could not check it for malware, because it is not signed with a paid Apple developer certificate yet. Click Done, not Move to Trash.
System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom, click Open Anyway next to Veduta and enter your password. On macOS 14 or earlier, Control-click Veduta in Applications and choose Open. If macOS still refuses, the Terminal line in the Apple silicon steps works here too.
A forecast runs 600 simulated paths, and a deep analysis 6,000, so an older Intel Mac takes a few seconds longer on each. Updates arrive in the app, as on any Mac.
The Intel build of the newest version is not ready yet, so this button gets the newest one that is.
Right-click the file in Downloads, choose Extract All, and pick a folder such as Documents. Veduta does not run from inside the .zip.
In the extracted Veduta folder. Windows may say it protected your PC, because the app is not signed with a paid certificate yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. It asks only the first time.
Right-click Veduta.exe and choose Pin to Start, or Send to > Desktop for a shortcut. Closing the window keeps it in the tray, by the clock, so alerts keep running; quit from that icon.
The app says when a new version is out. Download the new .zip, quit Veduta from its tray icon, delete the old Veduta folder, and extract the new one to the same place. A pinned shortcut then works again. Your watchlist, portfolio and keys are kept in AppData, apart from the app, so nothing is lost.
The Windows build of the newest version is not ready yet, so this button gets the newest one that is.
On a computer: Veduta for the web. It runs in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox at getveduta.com/web, laid out like the desktop app: a watchlist, the forecast band for each stock, deep analysis, Discover, a portfolio with totals per currency, a paper account, the week's headlines, tracking and the Scorecard. Chrome, Edge and Safari can keep it as an app with its own window; that takes about 1 MB.
On a phone or an iPad: Veduta Lite. The same app at getveduta.com/app, laid out for touch: find any US stock by its name, then everything Veduta for the web has. In Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, and it opens like an app, without a connection too.
Prices need a free key. A browser cannot ask Yahoo for prices, so both ask for a free Twelve Data key (they say where to get one, and it takes about a minute), kept in that browser only. Until then they open on made-up example prices, clearly marked. The free key covers US listings.
Both run the desktop app's forecast: two volatility models, an allowance for earnings days (with a free Finnhub key for the dates) and deep analysis. The desktop app adds alerts, company fundamentals and its own correction from your record. To send the link to a computer: getveduta.com
The desktop app's model was run on the real prices of 60 US-listed stocks and two index funds, up to July 2026: 46 of the stocks and both funds from January 2019, the other 14 from mid-2022. Every fifth market day it drew each one's band from only what was known that day, then checked it against what the price did next: 20,882 bands, each checked at up to seven horizons from a day to three months, the misses counted with the rest.
9 in 10 band held90.6%aim 90% · 20,634 bands
Middle half held51.1%aim 50% · typical 9 in 10 width 28% of the price
A plain rule, a band from the last year's volatility alone, held 89.8% at a month against Veduta's 90.6%, with bands about as wide (29% of the price against 28%). Month by month, its worst month held 24%, Veduta's 28%, and it fell under 80% in 7 of 90 months, Veduta in 5.
Every horizon, the stocks one by one, and what this test leaves out
| Horizon | Scored | Middle half held aim 50% | 9 in 10 held aim 90% | Missed the 9 in 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
What this shows: whether the bands hold as often as they say, the misses counted with the rest. What it does not show: whether using them leads to better decisions than a simple rule, or to better returns after costs. Those are different questions, and a record of bands cannot answer them, so Veduta makes no claim about them.
Copies in use are counted only where someone switched on usage statistics in the app's settings. Nobody is counted by default.
One person: Jaden. There is no company behind it and nothing for sale: no paid tier, no adverts, and no data sold. Every version is published on GitHub with its release history, and the app checks each update's fingerprint before installing it. To reach the owner, write to whoisgetlost@gmail.com, or use the feedback page.
Veduta has no ads and no account, and every version is published on GitHub with its fingerprint. Your computer warns you because Veduta is not signed with Apple's or Microsoft's paid developer certificate yet, so they cannot vouch for it. You confirm once, as the install guide shows, and never need to switch off a security setting. To check your download is the published file, compare its fingerprint with the one in the guide.
Free, with no account and no paid tier. The desktop app needs no key at all. The browser versions (Veduta for the web on a computer, Veduta Lite on a phone) need a free price key from Twelve Data, because a browser cannot ask Yahoo for prices; they say where to get one, and open on example prices until you have one.
Yes. Veduta for the web runs in the browser with nothing to install: a watchlist, the bands, deep analysis, Discover, a portfolio, a paper account and the week's headlines. Kept as an app from Chrome, Edge or Safari, it takes about 1 MB. The desktop download is the bigger one; its size is next to its download button.
They are ranges, so the fair test is whether prices land inside them as often as claimed. Walked forward over seven and a half years of real prices, the 9 in 10 band held 90.6% of the time at a month and the middle half 51.1%, where 90% and 50% are the aims. The track record above has every horizon and the worst months, and the live record since launch. It does not show whether the bands lead to better trades, and Veduta does not claim they do.
No. Every number comes from statistical models fitted to past prices. They describe what those models compute. They carry no guarantee and they are not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
From Yahoo Finance by default, with no key. If Yahoo is limiting your network, free keys from Twelve Data, Finnhub, Tiingo or EODHD fill in; Settings says which one covers which markets.
In the desktop app, yes. Milan, Paris, Frankfurt, London and other listings chart and forecast in their own currency, and the portfolio converts them at the day's exchange rate. In the browser versions, the free price key covers US listings only.
It has a paper account for practice, with realistic fills and stops, in the desktop app and in the browser versions. The desktop app can also send orders to an Alpaca account you connect, always through a confirmation step.
When it checks for updates, its version number and which build it is (Apple silicon Mac, Intel Mac or Windows). An update it downloads is counted with that kind of computer. When it first opens, it asks whether it may also send usage statistics, error reports, setup steps and speed timings; each is off until you say yes, and Settings changes them at any time. Never symbols, holdings or keys. The privacy page has the full list.
Windows 10 and 11, and Intel Macs, yes: each has its own build, and the install guide above has the steps for it. On a Chromebook or any other computer, use Veduta for the web in the browser. On an iPad or a phone, use Veduta Lite at getveduta.com/app and add it to the home screen: it has everything Veduta for the web has, laid out for touch. Both need a free price key, explained when they open.
