How To Get The Stocks App On Mac

If you dabble in stock trading then no doubt you’ve used the Stocks app on iOS but did you know you can also use it on macOS Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur?

Stocks is Apple’s stock tracking tool and it’s really useful for any Mac user that has invested in the stocks market.

Stocks was only introduced to macOS with the release of macOS 10.14 Mojave so if you’re running an earlier version of macOS, you’re out of luck as you can’t download it from the Mac App Store.
