An EveDeck companion
Your intel channels, on the tablet next to your keyboard.
EveDeck Intel reads the chat logs EVE Online already writes to your disk, works out what the intel channels are actually saying, and puts it on a second screen you can glance at. No account, no API keys, nothing leaves your network.
Windows 10/11 and an Android 8.0 tablet. Both halves are needed — they find each other over your LAN.
The daemon never talks to the game. It reads text files EVE writes on its own, which is why it needs no API key, no login and no permission from anything but your own filesystem.
What it gives you
A feed you can read at a glance
Every report, parsed into the system it names, the pilots in it and the hulls they are flying — instead of a wall of chat scrolling past behind your fleet window.
Jump distance that means something
Measured on the real stargate graph from whichever character you are following, not guessed from the region. Three jumps out and four jumps out are different problems.
A map of where it is landing
The reports plotted against your own position, so a quiet evening and a staging system filling up look different from across the desk.
Alerts inside a radius you set
The tablet earns its place by telling you when something hostile is close enough to matter, while you are looking at the game and not at it.
No account, no API key, no cloud
It reads the log files EVE already writes and serves them on your own network. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to leak, because nothing leaves the house.
Runs on the tablet you already have
Android 8.0 and up. The daemon bundles its own Java runtime, so the PC side is unzip-and-run with nothing to install first.
How it reads a channel
An intel channel is a stream of system names, pilot names and hull types typed by people in a hurry, with two or more spaces separating one thing from the next. The parser works through a line segment by segment, matching each as a whole before it looks inside.
People abbreviate, so the daemon needs to know which regions the channel covers — otherwise a three-character stub has no unambiguous answer. That is the one setting most worth getting right, and it is a checklist in the settings window, not a config file you have to learn.
Your character's position comes from the same place as everything else: the Local channel records a line every time a character changes system. No ESI, no SSO, no keys.
Intel daemon
Reads the chat logs and serves them to the tablet. Unzip and run — Java is bundled, so nothing has to be installed first.
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
Tablet app
The feed, the map and the alerts. Sideloaded, so Android asks once whether to allow installs from your browser.
Android 8.0 or newer, tablet
