Getting started

Install HawkEye

Download HawkEye-Setup-1.7.1.exe from HawkEye's releases on GitHub and run it. The download page shows how to check the file against the SHA-256 on the release page, and what to do when Windows SmartScreen asks about it.

After the first install, updates take one click, and HawkEye only installs releases signed with its own release key.

Create your free account

Sign in with Discord to create your free account. HawkEye asks Discord only for the "identify" permission: your Discord user ID, username and avatar. It can't see your email, servers, friends or messages.

Your HawkEye account stays matched to your Discord account. If you change your Discord username, display name or avatar, or remove HawkEye from Discord's Authorized Apps, HawkEye signs you out and asks you to sign in with Discord again. Your account and everything in it stay the same.

If the sign-in screen also shows Sign in with Google, you can use that instead. HawkEye then asks Google only for your basic profile: your Google account ID, name and profile picture, never your email.

HawkEye is for people 18 and older. Before you start, it asks you to accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Your first ten minutes

1. Open the Terminal page and launch Axiom, Pump.fun or DexScreener. Sign in to it once; it remembers you.
2. Open a token. The Safety check shows RugCheck's verdict and the top three risks. It flags known risk signals; a clean result isn't a promise.
3. Open HawkBot's Paper tab and paper trade that token with made-up money. The trade lands in your Journal.
4. On Community, open Leaderboards and see where you stand in this week's Paper League.
5. On Pro or Max, HawkEye opens on The Range: start in The Nest with Getting Started. On Free, The Range shows what it holds and how to open it.

Open your first platform

Go to the Terminal page and launch any of the 21 platforms. Each one opens in its own tab with its own login, history and session, so you sign in to it once. Maestro, Trojan, BonkBot and Banana Gun are Telegram trading bots: their tiles open them in Telegram.

Ads and trackers are blocked inside them. If a site needs its ads, the shield in the address bar can allow it. To clean up, Settings > Browser & Data clears cache, cookies and history when you ask, and shows how much space each one takes.

Turn on two-step sign-in

1. Open Settings > Account & Security.
2. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app, then confirm with a code.
3. Save your ten one-time recovery codes somewhere safe.

Every new sign-in then asks for a code. The same page lists recent sign-ins, warns you when someone has tried and failed, and signs out your other devices.

Watch prices and set alerts

HawkEye's live ticker streams crypto prices from Coinbase, with CoinGecko covering the rest. Set an alert on a coin, or on any token by its contract address: token alerts are priced from DEX pools, so they work on brand-new tokens too. When one hits, HawkEye shows a banner, and Windows shows a notification if HawkEye is minimized or behind another window.

Free has 10 alerts. Pro has 50, and can also send them to your phone through a Discord webhook: in your own Discord server, open Server Settings > Integrations > Webhooks, create one for a channel, copy its URL and paste it into HawkEye. HawkEye only accepts a Discord webhook address.

For stock quotes, add your own Finnhub key. API keys you enter stay on your computer.

Ask HawkBot

Open HawkBot over the Terminal, Charts or Intel and ask away. It can read the page you're on, and with See my screen it looks at the chart you're on. The gear in its header holds its settings.

Free accounts get 3 questions a day with Quick answers, and 1 of them can use See my screen. Pro gets 50 a day with 10 live web searches, See my screen and Deep reports. Its answers are educational, not financial advice. More about HawkBot.

Research with Intel

Intel gathers 23 sources: news, on-chain intelligence, analytics, dashboards, TVL and derivatives data. Type a query into HawkEye Search and it opens the right tool, or a web search.

Keep a journal

Journal logs trades with entry, exit, size, stop, setup, mood and pictures, plus daily reflections and study notes. The overview shows your net result, win rate, profit factor, average R and equity curve, with paper trades kept apart. It stays on your computer.

Track wallets

Paste a public address into Wallet. HawkEye works out the chain, flags look-alike addresses used in address-poisoning scams, and can show balances read from public blockchain nodes.

HawkEye never asks for a private key or seed phrase. If anything asks you for one, stop.

If the window flashes black

On some NVIDIA cards, part of the window can flash black for a frame when the card changes speed. Settings > Appearance has three rendering modes: GPU, Light GPU and CPU. GPU is the default. Pick Automatic and HawkEye moves your PC to Light GPU, then CPU, by itself if black frames still get through, and remembers what works. A mode you pick by hand is never changed.

Your data and privacy

Settings > Privacy & Legal has Export My Data, Delete My Account, the switch for error reports, who can message you, whether you appear in Find People and on Community's leaderboards, and who you've blocked or muted.

Plans and billing

Plans open soon. Until then HawkEye is free to use, and Settings > Subscription in the app shows when you can subscribe and can let you know. Once they're open, Settings > Subscription shows the plans, monthly or yearly, and Pro Week, with the price and the terms right by the button. Manage billing cancels, switches between monthly and yearly, or changes your card on Stripe's own page. Pro Week is paid once and ends on its own after 7 days. A license key goes in the same page. Compare plans.
