Elite Dangerous Colonisation Assistant
Colonisation runs on one question: what still needs hauling and where to. EDCA answers it from your journal as you fly, so the shopping list, your carrier's hold and where that carrier is heading are all current without you tabbing out. No spreadsheets, no accounts, nothing leaves your PC.
Windows and Linux · opens in your browser automatically; reachable from a tablet on your local network at <your-PC-IP>:47021/app
The per-system shopping list of everything still needed across your construction sites, plus the completed ones you can stop thinking about.
What your carrier holds, what it is offering, what it runs on and where it is heading, whether or not you are standing on it.
Install, launch, play. What happens on the first run, what it needs and how to put it on a tablet beside the cockpit.
EDCA reads your Elite Dangerous journal as you play and pushes what changed straight to the page. Deliver a load and the numbers move while you are still at the pad, with nothing to refresh and nothing to type in. Even your commander name comes from the journal rather than a settings box.
A lightweight web HUD you can open on a second screen or a cockpit tablet over your own network, with a keep-screen-awake option for long sessions.
EDCA runs entirely on your machine. No external services, no accounts and no telemetry; it reads your journal and nothing of yours leaves your PC. The one thing it ever sends anywhere is a version check when it starts: an anonymous request asking GitHub what the latest release is, carrying no identifier and no journal data. It prompts you when a new version is out, so you hear about upgrades without being watched.
