Dividends Inside started as a personal project and gradually turned into a free public tool. This page explains why it was built and what sits behind it.
I'm an individual investor based in the Netherlands, building this as a solo project. I've been focused on dividend investing for years, and a lot of what you see here comes directly from how I track my own portfolio.
It's not a big company product—just something I keep improving over time because I use it myself.

I got into investing about ten years ago. Pretty quickly, I found myself drawn to dividend investing— not just the income, but the long-term discipline of tracking it, reinvesting it, and watching a portfolio grow over time. There was something surprisingly satisfying about receiving that first “paycheck” from dividends, and it completely changed how I thought about building a portfolio.
I struggled to find a way to track everything that actually felt right. Trades, lots, income, and overall portfolio progress. Most tools were either too simple or too complicated. That frustration is what led me to start building something for myself.
At some point, I realized I probably wasn't the only one running into this problem. Other investors might want a cleaner, more focused way to track dividend portfolios too. What started as a personal tool slowly turned into something I wanted to share.
The goal is simple: make portfolio and dividend tracking more usable, more transparent, and less dependent on scattered spreadsheets or broker views that do not quite fit the job. It was also important to me to build something that does not rely on connecting to third-party platforms, so you stay in control of your own data. And to avoid tools that cover 90% of your needs and lock the rest behind paywalls.
What started as something I built for myself gradually turned into something I wanted to share. I figured if I was running into these problems, others probably were too. Making it public and free just felt like the natural next step—and the kind of tool I would have wanted to find myself.
The rest of the Support Center focuses on the product itself: how imports work, what common questions come up, and where users can report issues.
