EVE Buddy
A companion app for Eve Online players
Contents
Description
EVE Buddy is a companion app for Eve Online players. It has three key features:
- Give you access to your characters without having to log into the Eve client or switching your current Eve character
- Provide you with helpful functions, that the Eve client is lacking, like asset search across all your characters
- Notify you about important game events (e.g. structure attacked) and new Eve mails
[!IMPORTANT] This is an early version and not yet considered fully stable. We would very much appreciate your feedback, so we can find and squash remaining bugs. If you encounter any problems please feel free to open an issue or chat with us on Discord. Some features may not be fully implemented yet (e.g. some notification types). Our current focus is on bug fixing, rather then adding more features. But if you are missing anything important, please feel free to open a feature request. We very much welcome any contributions. If you like to provide a fix or add a feature please feel free top open a PR.

Update
The app will inform you when there is a new version available for download. To update your app just download and unzip the newest version for your platform from the releases page. Then overwrite the old executable file with the new one.
