Your balance tells one story.
Your acquisitions tell another.

A wallet balance doesn’t tell you what you paid. ZEC Buying Price follows selected receipts and sends to estimate the acquisition value of what remains.

Field notes

All guides ↗

Before you download.

The moving average acquisition price in USD per ZEC for selected confirmed wallet movements. Receipts add quantity and acquisition value. Sends remove both proportionally. The selected ledger can differ from your wallet balance.

No. It imports a mainnet Unified Full Viewing Key, stored in macOS Keychain. It does not request a seed phrase or spending key and cannot sign transactions. A viewing key still reveals financial history, so treat it as sensitive.

Not necessarily. CoinGecko provides a daily market observation for the transaction’s UTC date. Click a movement’s price to replace that estimate with your actual USD price per ZEC.

The app is an acquisition research tool. It does not generate tax reports, identify every taxable event, or choose a jurisdiction’s accounting rules. Use complete exchange and wallet records when preparing a return.

The downloadable development build requires an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later. An Intel DMG is not provided. Version 0.1.0 is ad hoc signed and not notarized.

The app withholds a complete result while scanning or receipt pricing is unfinished. Missing prices, inconsistent selections, selected sends greater than selected holdings, or ambiguous history can also prevent completion.
