EDAM puts EDLD, the commander dashboard for Elite Dangerous, on your Android phone or tablet. Pair it once with EDLD on the computer you play on, and your commander, ship, cargo, route, alerts, session and career are a glance away: on the desk beside your keyboard, propped against the monitor, or in your hand across the room.
On a tablet, or a phone in landscape, EDAM draws EDLD's EDCARS console the way the desktop does: the same header band, the same rail of sections, and the same windows framed in the same columns. EDCARS comes in four consoles, as on the desktop: EDCARS itself; ORDER, an Imperial fleet console of steel pills and black glass; REBEL, a Rebel ops board of cream consoles and round lamps; and ROGUE, an independent freighter's cockpit of riveted plate, amber CRTs and masking tape. Follow the console EDLD wears or pick one for the device. In portrait, one section fills the screen and a swipe moves to the next. Prefer a list? The Dashboard style is a drawer of pages, one column in portrait and an adaptive grid in landscape. EDAM follows the color theme your EDLD uses, custom themes included.
The Helm panel puts your ship's controls in your hand, grouped as on the desktop: honk the discovery scanner, plot the galaxy map to the next stop of your route, supercruise, jump, landing gear, cargo scoop, lights, hardpoints, heat sink, chaff, pips, the maps and more. EDLD presses the keys on your computer through your own bindings, only once you allow paired devices to do so, and only controls you have bound are shown.
Highlights:
- Every window EDLD draws, with the same tabs, tables and colors, from the same data
- EDCARS on a tablet, laid out to the same measurements as the desktop, in any of its four consoles: EDCARS, ORDER, REBEL and ROGUE
- The Helm panel, as a section of EDCARS and a page of the Dashboard
- Navigation from the phone: FSD, neutron, carrier and survey routes, Nearby, Services and Discoveries, plotted by EDLD and followed on your computer
- Window actions: Follow, Copy Next, Clear Route, Set Target, Set Home System and clearing a colonization site
- Ring hotspots and surface-mining sites in filterable tables
- Urgent alerts flash the Alerts pill until you open it, or bring Alerts up for you
- Windows EDLD adds or improves reach EDAM without an app update
Private by design: you pair by scanning a QR code from EDLD, with no account to create. EDAM talks directly to your own computer over TLS 1.3, with both ends' keys pinned, and its key never leaves the Android keystore. It connects only while on screen, runs nothing in the background, sends no notifications, asks for no location or contacts, and never scans your network. When EDLD is out of reach, the last snapshot stays on screen, dimmed, with a clear status.
EDAM is free, with a banner ad along the bottom. A one-time purchase in Settings removes it for good, on every device signed in to the same Google account.
Requirements: Android 10 or later, and EDLD 20261102 or later with server mode on (20261105 or later for the consoles, 20261108 or later for the Mining section) (free, for Windows, macOS and Linux: https://github.com/indevlin/EDLD).
