A cross-platform, real-time dashboard for explorers. 100 % Python - runs on Linux, macOS and Windows. Provides real time data for the current system, even if it's not (yet) in EDSM or INARA.

I know, there are many tools like this, some with much more features and much more sophisticated. But they all have one thing in common: They are built for Windows (except for EDMC).

As I'm on kubuntu since early 2025, and most of the tools work in a decent way, at best, when run in a wine environment, I decided to create my own, plattform independent tool. So here it is: Elite Dangerous eXploration Dashboard

 

EDXD provides insight into the details of the currently scanned system.

Currently that is:

- Mineraldeposits per body

- Bio-/Geo-signs per body

- FSS, mapping, geo, bio progress of current system

- Sortable by deposit density and other things

- Filter to display only minerals you're currently looking for

- Detail panels for selected (in the table) and targeted (in-game) body

- Show estimated scanned/mapped value

- Load all available journal files to create system cache

- Pin your current location on a planet's surface and track the distance to that point

- min. distance for genus diversity in detail panel. Also shows distance to previously scanned specimen of that genus.

- from v0.5.0.0: register first discovered/mapped/footfall by others or self (in-game, not EDSM)

 

This tool is undergoing heavy development, so expect more features to come.

Planned features are (not neccessarily in that particular order)

- show first discovered (EDSM)

- show potential types of biosigns, if any; update on DSS and on foot sampling

- show potential types of geosigns, if any; update on DSS

- maybe more...

 

As EDXD is very new, there will be lots of refactoring on the way. So don't expect new features with every new release ;-)

 

If you like my work and want to support me via PayPal.me (see link below) it's much appreciated. EDXD and all it's features will always be for free.
