We started rolling out Punch Desktop on Monday. Many of you already have access. Over this week, every interested user will be in.

Log in at desktop.punch.trade with your phone number and PIN.

We could list features here. You've probably already seen the list. Instead, here's what actually changes about how you trade.

You stop switching tabs

On mobile, you watch one chart. Maybe two in split mode. When you want to check a different scrip, you switch. When you want to compare timeframes, you switch. When you want to see the option chain alongside the underlying, you switch.

On desktop, you set up 8 charts on one screen and stop switching. Nifty on 1-minute next to BankNifty on 5-minute next to four stocks on 15-minute. All live. All visible. The information you were piecing together across tabs is now sitting in front of you at the same time.

Your analysis gets room

On a phone screen, the option chain competes with the chart for space. You can't see premium movement alongside the underlying's price action without flipping between views. Drawing a Fibonacci retracement on a 6-inch screen works, but it's not where you'd choose to do serious charting.

Desktop gives analysis the surface it needs. The option chain with 15+ customisable settings, premium plotting on charts, drawing tools, SMC indicators — all of it was already on mobile. The difference is you can now use them without fighting the screen for space.

You stop rebuilding your workspace every morning

Most traders have more than one setup. A scalping layout. A swing layout. Maybe an options monitoring layout. On mobile, you rebuild this context every session.

On desktop, each setup is a saved dashboard. Your charts, indicators, drawings, timeframes — all preserved. Market opens, you click into the right dashboard, and everything is where you left it.

Why it took us this long

Market Pulse, and then Punch, has always focused on solving a trader's workflow on mobile. 85% of all trades in India go through mobile. That's where the volume is, and that's where we spent our time.

We wanted to get the mobile app to a point where most of our users are genuinely happy with it before splitting focus. But we heard from many of you that mobile felt limiting for analysis and trading. The charting, the option chain, the multi-scrip monitoring — all of it works on phone, but sometimes you just need more room.

So in December we started a parallel track to build desktop. Not a port of the mobile app. A separate product designed for the screen size, with multi-layout charting, persistent dashboards, and trade-from-chart execution as the foundation.

That's what's shipping now.

What gets built next is up to you

Desktop is going to evolve quickly, and what gets prioritised depends on what you vote for. That hasn't changed.
