- EDNexus — Commander Console for Elite Dangerous
+
+ Commander console for Elite Dangerous
A single, does-it-all commander console for Elite Dangerous — built to replace the sprawl of separate market, route, exobiology, colonisation, and materials tools with one app.
EDNexus — Commander Console for Elite Dangerous
How it works
- EDNexus works off the game's own data — no memory reading, no injection. A watcher tails the
- journal (Journal.*.log) and the sidecar status files (Status.json,
- Cargo.json, Market.json, …), turns them into a typed event stream, and folds
- that into a single live commander state that every feature reads from. Nothing needs an account or
- an API key to get started.
+ EDNexus works from the files Elite Dangerous already writes on your own computer, so there is nothing to
+ hook into the game and no account to create. It follows what you do as you play and keeps one live picture
+ of your commander that every feature draws from.
Materials
Exobiology
-Genus and species scan progress as you sample, an offline species prediction engine, per-genus sampling distances and bundled payout values.
-The bundled data is community-derived and still being verified.
+Track your sampling progress by species, see which organisms a planet is likely to hold, and know the distances and payouts before you land.
+Reference data is community-derived and still being verified.

Radio

Twitch stream card opt-in

The EDNexus side is built; the extension itself is awaiting Twitch's review.
EDDN & Inara opt-in
Auto-update opt-in
-Downloads the new installer, checks it against the SHA-256 checksum published with the release, and only then offers to install it. Linux updates come through Flatpak.
+Downloads new versions for you, verifies them, and only installs when you say so. Linux updates come through Flatpak.

- Developer mode built in
-Every card can be exercised without the game running, using randomly generated but valid journal events. Nothing generated this way is ever uploaded or published.
+Demo mode built in
+Try every card with sample data, no game running. Nothing generated this way is ever shared with anyone.

Plugin SDK in development
-The plugin contract and loader exist as libraries, with deny-by-default consent and a read-only view of commander state. The app does not load plugins yet — see the roadmap.

A calmer, tidier dashboard
+Pages for the way you play: group the cards you use for trading, exploring, colonising or streaming, and keep every card exactly where you put it. Fewer, richer cards, a compact view, and the option to pop cards out onto a second monitor.

+Frequently asked questions
+Quick answers about what EDNexus is and what it does.
+Is EDNexus free?
Yes. EDNexus is free to download and use, there is no account to create, and the source code is on GitHub.
Does it need an account or an API key?
No. It reads the journal files Elite Dangerous writes on your own computer. Syncing to Inara needs your own Inara API key and is optional, as are EDDN contributions and crash reports.
Does it read the game's memory or change the game?
No. EDNexus only reads the journal and status files the game writes for third-party tools. There is no memory reading and no injection.
Which platforms does it support?
Windows (installer) and Linux (Flatpak bundle). The in-game overlay and spoken callouts are Windows-only. macOS is not supported yet.
What can it do?
Trade and route plotting, engineering material shopping lists, exobiology tracking and species prediction, colonisation depot tracking with Raven Colonial lookups, mining, missions, community goals, Galnet news, ranks, a radio player, Discord Rich Presence and an optional Twitch stream card.
What data leaves my computer?
EDDN and Inara uploads, crash reports and the Twitch stream card are optional and off until you turn them on. Features that look things up (Spansh, EDSM, Raven Colonial, Galnet and the update check) send only what the lookup needs. The README lists everything.
Does it work with Odyssey and the colonisation update?
Yes. On-foot engineering upgrades, the on-foot inventory, exobiology and the colonisation tracker are built in.
