39What's a Tracker?
A Tracker is the third format on EvvyTools — alongside our calculators (Tools) and downloadable reference datasets (Data Lists). Each tracker is one big, important, currently-changing number — the 30-year mortgage rate, today's S&P 500 close, the latest CPI reading — presented as a single focused page with the full history, comparison stats, and links to the calculators that turn the number into a decision for your situation.
Why trackers exist on EvvyTools
Most "rate today" pages on the internet are slow, ad-stuffed, and stop at the headline number. We built Trackers because the number is the start, not the end. The 30-year mortgage rate is only useful if you can plug it into a real mortgage calculator. The Fed funds rate matters when it changes what you earn in savings. The Bitcoin price means more next to your net-worth tracker. Every Tracker cross-links to the EvvyTools tools where the number becomes math you can act on.
How we update each one
Each Tracker pulls from a free, public data source — most commonly the St. Louis Fed's FRED API, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, CoinGecko / Stooq for crypto and commodities, the European Central Bank via Frankfurter for exchange rates, and the U.S. Treasury for I Bonds. A nightly cron pulls fresh data and updates the underlying tables — daily for market data, weekly for mortgages, monthly for CPI, after each FOMC meeting for Fed funds.
What Trackers aren't
Trackers are not financial advice. We don't recommend buying, selling, or holding anything. We show you the data and what it means in plain English. For specific advice on your situation, talk to a licensed financial professional. Trackers exist to make the underlying numbers genuinely understandable — so you can have those conversations from a position of context rather than vibes.
