Physical metal sits in a safe, not in a brokerage app, and most portfolio tools simply ignore it. Manalyx is one of the few free precious metals portfolio trackers that values gold, silver, platinum and palladium at the live spot price and rolls them into the same dashboard as your equities, real estate and crypto – without forcing you to register every coin in a separate inventory tool.
A position is described by metal type, weight in grams and purity; Manalyx normalises to fine weight and multiplies by the latest stored per-gram spot price. Spot prices are refreshed by scheduled background jobs and the dashboard shows the change against your purchase price.
Each item carries its own purchase price, date, notes and photo, so any premium paid above spot stays visible as a simple delta. No estimated collector value, no algorithmic guess – just what you paid versus what the metal is worth today.
Precious metals appear as their own category in the dashboard and analytics view, alongside crypto, stocks, real estate and the rest. The category total contributes to the overall portfolio – so you finally see what share of your wealth sits in physical metal.
Three numbers determine what a coin or bar is worth on your dashboard: the daily spot price for the metal, the fine-weight after applying the purity factor, and the optional collector premium you assign manually. Manalyx keeps these inputs separate so you always understand which part is market-driven and which part is a personal valuation choice. Spot prices are stored per gram and multiplied by the actual fine-weight, never by the gross weight.
A 1-oz Krugerrand weighs 33.93 g gross but only contains 31.10 g of pure gold (91.67 % purity). Multiplying gross weight by spot price would inflate the figure by ~9 %. Manalyx applies the purity factor automatically per piece, so the displayed value tracks the actual metal content the market cares about.
For coins where collector value exceeds melt value (e.g. older Wiener Philharmoniker, certain proof issues), you can add a manual premium on top of the spot calculation. The premium shows as its own line on the position so you can answer the question "how much of this is metal, how much is collector?" at a glance.
Each entry can carry a storage tag (home safe, bank deposit box, vault provider). The tag never affects the value but lets you filter the precious-metals view by location, which becomes useful once your stack outgrows a single drawer.
