I’m pretty new to EVE, and honestly the first weeks were rough. There’s so much to learn at once — fitting, markets, where not to die, what corps do, which websites everyone expects you to have open — that I kept feeling lost even when I was “doing fine.” I don’t have a second monitor, so alt-tabbing to Dotlan, zKill, market tools, and guides broke my flow and made the game feel even bigger than it already is. So I built **EVE NewBro** : a free **Windows desktop companion** that sits **on top of** the game (windowed or borderless EVE works best). It’s **not** an in-game addon and **not** affiliated with CCP. It doesn’t read the game client or send clicks into EVE — it’s the same kind of external, read-only tooling people have used for years (public APIs like ESI, zKillboard, market data, etc.). **Why I made it:** one place to actually _use_ while you play, instead of juggling five browser tabs. **What it does:** - **Live map** — kills, sov, FW, incursions, routes, recent zKill activity - **Market** — search, full item browse, appraise fits/lists, watchlist price alerts, contract scan - **Intel** — look up pilots, corps, alliances; paste Local for a quick threat pass - **Fits** — starter/community fits with one-click EFT copy - **Industry helpers** , damage cheat sheet, notes, news feed, new-player tips - **Optional login (SSO)** — multi-character overview, assets across alts, mail, corp watch - **Two layouts:** small always-on-top **overlay** , or **Expand** for a bigger intel window (no second screen required) **Download (Windows installer):** [https://github.com/Reyarzz/EveNewBro/releases/latest](https://github.com/Reyarzz/EveNewBro/releases/latest) First run: Windows may show SmartScreen because the build isn’t signed — **More info → Run anyway**. **Source & feedback:** [https://github.com/Reyarzz/EveNewBro](https://github.com/Reyarzz/EveNewBro) I’m still learning the game myself; this is my attempt to make New Eden a little less overwhelming for anyone in the same boat. If you try it, I’d love bug reports and ideas. o7 ---

Always good to have a helpful app to play Eve… Any screenshots to showcase the app? ---

you have a typo in your fuzzworks path or they changed the website layout. The new path is [https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/dump/latest/csv/mapSolarSystems.csv](https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/dump/latest/csv/mapSolarSystems.csv) ---

Also a eve gate check connection would be cool if it’s possible. Ideally if i set destination then had a button to auto check eve gatecheck for that route and have it update if i add a system to my avoid list. ---

I would also love the ability to disable tabs in the list that don’t interest me like tips or market if i don’t trade. I would also love the ability to key bind individual tabs or have a cycle key bind where I can set the key and list of tabs (This is the preference i think). So i can switch quickly between the map and the intel paste names then go back. At least I assume so I don’t have the map working atm with the wrong url. ---
