Make the cockpit yours
HUD colours, cockpit-light dimming and glare and exposure each have their own controls and explanations.

Why one companion
Less setup between you and the next jump.
An evening in Elite can move from a material trader to a mission stack to an unexplored system. Elite Nexus puts those everyday jobs in one Windows app, with your current ship and location close at hand.

Connected workflows
Let the next step follow the last.
The value of one companion is in the handoffs: a promising planet becomes a route, a cargo hold becomes a market search, and a ship becomes an engineering plan.
Find a destination
Search for valuable bodies or biology, ask the co-pilot for a trip, or use a Spansh planner. Planned routes arrive on Navigation.
Travel with context
See the next star, fuel stops and route hazards. With copying enabled, the next system name is ready on the clipboard after each jump.
Keep the record
Follow scan values and sampling progress, then return to exploration history, the logbook, statistics and your travel map.
What it brings together
Choose the pages for the way you play.
Use a few tools every session or explore the full set as your plans change.
Explore and sample
Scan values, history and navigation connect with species predictions, planet searches and the sampling radar.
Trade and supply
Market searches, cargo sales, trade routes and mining tools use your ship and the available market records. Colonisation adds supply planning around a depot.
Build and organise
Engineering plans, ships, carriers and missions share space with materials, BGS and Powerplay activity, colonisation and control bindings.
Stay aware
The dashboard, voice alerts and compact HUD follow the session. The logbook and statistics keep its details accessible later.
Ask and contribute
The optional AI co-pilot queries app tools. Opt-in community sync lets you choose which services receive live events.
A practical fit
Start with the workflows you actually need.
Elite Nexus is a native Rust app for Windows 10 and 11, distributed as one executable in a ZIP. Unzip it, run it and let it read the journals written by the PC game.
One app to get started
There is no installer, browser engine or separate language runtime to set up. The app is free and open source under GPL-3.0-or-later. Optional cloud AI uses your own provider account.
Keep useful specialist tools
The feature pages describe the scope of each workflow. Keep using a specialist tool or website for the parts of your setup you prefer there; Elite Nexus also opens ship builds in EDSY and Coriolis.
Check the few setup boundaries
Elite Nexus is for Windows and the PC game's journal files. Its compact HUD is a separate always-on-top window. The optional graphics hook used for cockpit dimming and HUD colour protection cannot run alongside EDHM or another 3Dmigoto mod; the relevant feature pages explain the installation.
Built on community work
A companion within a larger galaxy of tools.
Elite's community services make these workflows possible. Elite Nexus brings their data and capabilities into the app while keeping their sources and limitations visible.
Know where the data comes from
EDDN supplies shared live market records; Spansh provides planners and searchable galaxy data. EDSM, EDAstro, Inara and EDCD's data are part of the wider ecosystem the app integrates with. Availability, record age, coverage and service approval still matter.
Inspect what is here
The README lists the current feature set. The user guide explains how the pages work, and the source repository is open to inspect.
Compare with EDDiscovery, EDMC, Odyssey Materials Helper, Observatory and EDHM
