How to Track Your Kraken Crypto Portfolio on iPhone, Mac & Apple Watch
Track your Kraken crypto portfolio across iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch with Widgets for Kraken — live balances, P&L and prices, read-only and private. Step-by-step setup.
If you hold crypto on Kraken, you probably check it more often than you would like to admit. The problem is that opening the exchange app every time is slow, and it puts your full trading account one tap away when all you wanted was a number. A dedicated crypto portfolio tracker fixes that: it shows your balances, profit and loss, and live prices at a glance, on every device you own, in read-only mode.
This guide shows how to track your Kraken portfolio on iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch using Widgets for Kraken, an independent, read-only app for the Apple ecosystem. We will cover what to look for in a tracker, how to set it up in a couple of minutes, and how your portfolio appears on each device.
What a good crypto portfolio tracker should do
A tracker is not a trading app. Its whole job is to answer one question fast: how is my portfolio doing right now? The best ones do that natively, privately, and everywhere you look, so you never break your flow to find out.
- Show your total portfolio value and how it changed today, this week and all-time.
- Break down profit and loss per coin, not just an overall number.
- Stream live prices over WebSocket so figures move with the market.
- Work read-only, so it can display your holdings but never trade, deposit or withdraw.
- Live on your Home Screen, Mac menu bar and Apple Watch, not just inside one app.
- Keep your data on your devices and sync it privately through your own iCloud.
How to set up Kraken portfolio tracking
Track your Kraken portfolio in minutes
- 1Download Widgets for Kraken
Install Widgets for Kraken from the App Store on iPhone or iPad, and from the Mac App Store on your Mac. It is a native app, so it feels at home on every device and shares your setup across them.
- 2Connect Kraken in read-only mode
Open the app and connect your Kraken account using the secure read-only sign-in. Widgets for Kraken can see your balances, holdings and live prices, but the permissions to trade, deposit or withdraw are never requested. If you only want to watch the market, you can build a watchlist without connecting an account at all.
- 3Review your holdings and P&L
Your assets appear with their current value and profit and loss. Sort by value or performance to see what is moving, and open any coin for a price chart and its share of your portfolio.
- 4Add widgets and complications
Place a portfolio widget on your iPhone Home Screen or Lock Screen, add a ticker to your Mac menu bar, and put a complication on your Apple Watch face. Now your key numbers are visible without opening anything.
- 5Turn on iCloud sync
With iCloud enabled, your watchlist, layout and preferences follow you from iPhone to Mac to Watch automatically, with no separate account to create.
See your portfolio on every Apple device
The point of tracking across the Apple ecosystem is that the right view is always the closest one. Each device shows the same live data in the format that fits it best.
- iPhone: Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for portfolio value and top movers, plus Live Activities to follow a coin in real time.
- Mac: a menu bar ticker for constant glances and desktop widgets for the bigger picture while you work.
- Apple Watch: complications on your watch face and a full app on your wrist, so a price check is a glance away.
- iPad: the same widgets and full portfolio view on a larger canvas.
Your portfolio data stays private
Tracking your net worth should not mean handing it to a server. Widgets for Kraken connects to Kraken with read-only access and keeps your portfolio on your own devices, syncing through your personal iCloud. There is no account to create, no profile to sell, and because trading permissions are never requested, a connected tracker can never move your funds. It is an independent app and is not affiliated with Kraken.
