Character Intelligence for EVE Online
.svg){kind=link}
EveLens is a free, open-source skill planner and character tracker for EVE Online -- the modern successor to EVEMon, the tool EVE pilots relied on for nearly twenty years. It plans skill training, optimizes attribute remaps, monitors every character you own (100+ supported), and compares fleets against doctrines.
It runs natively on Windows, Linux, and macOS (signed and notarized), built on .NET 10 and Avalonia 12, backed by 2,400+ automated tests. Your data comes straight from CCP's ESI API with scopes you choose; nothing leaves your machine without an explicit opt-in.

One download per platform -- everything is self-contained, no .NET runtime install needed:
| Platform | Format |
|---|---|
| Windows | EveLens-stable-Setup.exe -- installer with shortcuts and auto-updates |
| macOS (Apple Silicon) | EveLens-*-osx-arm64.dmg -- drag to Applications |
| Linux | EveLens-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage -- single file, just run |
The Windows installer is code-signed by a verified Certum certificate; the macOS app and disk image are signed and notarized by Apple.
Download and run EveLens-stable-Setup.exe. The installer handles everything -- .NET runtime, shortcuts, auto-updates. The binary is code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen won't block it.
# Download the AppImage from the release page, then:
chmod +x EveLens-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage
./EveLens-*-linux-x86_64.AppImageThat's it. Single file, no install, no dependencies. Works on Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, and most distros.
- Download
EveLens-*-osx-arm64.dmgfrom the release page - Open it and drag EveLens onto the Applications shortcut
- Launch EveLens from Applications. That's it.
EveLens is code-signed and notarized by Apple -- Gatekeeper opens it like any Mac app. No Terminal, no xattr, no right-click workarounds. And the app updates itself in place: Check for Updates downloads the new version, swaps the .app, and relaunches.
The drag-to-Applications step matters more than it looks: it is how macOS knows you installed the app on purpose, which is what allows self-updating to work. (Installing by Terminal or unzip used to break updates silently -- 1.5.1 detects and repairs that state automatically.)
Coming from EVEMon? We recommend a fresh start. EveLens is a complete rewrite -- your EVE characters are tied to your ESI tokens, not your old settings. Add your characters through the ESI login and you're good to go.
EveLens runs natively on Windows, Linux, and macOS from a single codebase. System tray, notifications, clipboard, and dialogs all use native platform APIs. Same features, same UI, same updates on every platform. No Wine, no workarounds.
Built from the ground up for scale. Smart batch scheduling, per-character circuit breakers, and staggered ESI polling mean 60, 80, or 100+ characters load fast and stay responsive. The old EVEMon collapsed at ~50 characters -- EveLens doesn't.
Six color palettes inspired by New Eden's empires. Every control respects the active theme with runtime switching.
- Dark Space (default) -- navy + gold
- Caldari Blue -- cool steel blues
- Amarr Gold -- warm golds and ambers
- Minmatar Rust -- earthy oranges
- Gallente Green -- teals and greens
- Midnight -- deep purples
You choose what data EveLens can access. Three presets (Full, Standard, Skill Planner Only) or custom selection from 16 feature categories. When you re-authenticate with fewer scopes, EveLens automatically detects revoked permissions, clears stale data, and deletes disk caches for those endpoints. Your data, your rules.
GPU-accelerated interactive visualization of EVE's ~400-skill tree rendered as a star constellation. Skills as stars, prerequisites as connecting lines, skill groups as colored nebula clusters. Zoom, pan, search, click-to-inspect. Trained skills glow, training skills pulse.
20+ data tabs per character: Skills, Skill Queue, Clones, Assets, Market Orders, Contracts, Industry Jobs, Wallet Journal, Wallet Transactions, Mail, Notifications, Kill Log, Planetary Industry, Research Points, Standings, Contacts, Employment History, Medals, Loyalty Points, Factional Warfare.
Multi-tab plan editor with integrated Skills, Ships, Items, and Blueprint browsers. Entry detail panel with prerequisite tracking and completion checkmarks. Attribute optimization and injector cost estimates.
Per-endpoint health state machine that tracks ESI reliability per character. Transient errors are silently retried. Persistent failures get one activity log entry, not a hundred. Recovery is automatic. No more error spam filling your notification bell.
Create shared skill templates for fleet doctrines, assign multiple characters, and compare training times side-by-side. Import from existing plans, see who can fly what, and generate personal training plans for each character with one click. Perfect for FCs managing fleet comps across 30+ characters.
Full Simplified Chinese (简体中文) localization with 300+ translated UI strings and 50,000+ CCP official SDE translations for skills, ships, items, and blueprints. Language picker in Settings → Appearance with auto-restart. Game terms use CCP's official Chinese translations.
Export your full skill list or training queue to CSV files for spreadsheets, fleet planning, or sharing with corpmates.
Compare up to 10 characters side-by-side. Skills are shown with color-coded level blocks so differences jump out immediately. Toggle to show only skills that differ across characters. Columns auto-size and show full character names.
A slider in Settings scales all text from 80% to 150%. Changes apply instantly as you drag -- no restart needed. Works across every window, dialog, and control in the app.
A clock icon in the status bar shows how many of your characters need training attention. Click to see everyone sorted by urgency -- empty queues at the top, healthy at the bottom. Click any name to jump to their Queue tab. Scrollable for large fleets.
- Clone tracking -- jump clone locations, implants, and jump cooldown timer (respects Infomorph Synchronizing skill)
- Native OS notifications -- skill completions via your system's notification center
- Activity center -- bell icon with 200-entry event log, smart noise filtering
- Character groups -- organize characters by purpose with colored tags and custom ordering
- Balance change indicator -- real-time ISK delta with directional arrows
- Auto-update -- Velopack-powered updates with delta downloads, checks in the background
- Data cache -- near-instant tab loading, limited offline viewing
- Per-character endpoint manager -- toggle individual ESI endpoints on/off
- Privacy mode -- for streamers and screenshots
- Collapse persistence -- your expand/collapse state remembered across sessions
- Window position memory -- saves and restores across restarts and multi-monitor setups
- Code-signed Windows installer -- verified Certum certificate, no SmartScreen warnings

EVEMon was created by Jimi Charalampidis and 57+ contributors (2006-2015), then maintained by Peter Han (2015-2021). Their 20 years of work built the foundation that EveLens stands on. This project is a direct continuation of that lineage -- same GPL v2 license, same commitment to the EVE community.
I'm not accepting donations -- I just want to know if EveLens makes your EVE life a little easier. If it does, that's enough for me. Building something people genuinely find useful and actually use is what drives me. Share it with your corp, mention it in a fleet chat, or just drop me a message and tell me what you think. If it works for you, that would mean the world -- not ISK. I take donations in kind words. o7
- macOS .dmg installer -- drag to Applications like every Mac app; signed and notarized. Now the one macOS download.
- Solved: mac updates that downloaded but never installed -- apps placed in Applications without a Finder drag were silently running from a read-only Gatekeeper copy (App Translocation) where updates can never apply. EveLens now detects this at startup and repairs it with one click.
- Updates fail loudly now -- a failed download or install says so, with the reason, instead of quietly leaving you on the old version.
Full details: CHANGELOG.md
- Doctrine Designer round two -- import from files/clipboard/plans, add whole groups, "Show only missing", missing-SP badges, aligned card columns with frozen panes
- Skill priorities -- visible on every plan row, "Group by Priority" milestone bands
- Overview rework -- drag-to-group, sort and density controls, group totals, saved comparisons
- macOS first class -- signed, notarized, and self-updating in place; Linux gets update checks too
- .NET 10 and EVE static data build 3480926

Is EveLens free? Yes -- free and open source under GPL v2, no donations accepted.
Is it safe to log in with? EveLens uses CCP's official ESI API with OAuth -- it never sees your password, and you choose exactly which data scopes it may read. Everything stays on your machine unless you explicitly opt in to community features.
Does it work on Mac? Yes, natively on Apple Silicon -- code-signed, notarized, and self-updating as of 1.5.0. Linux (AppImage) and Windows too, from one codebase.
Can it replace EVEMon? That's the point. EveLens is a ground-up rewrite of EVEMon for modern .NET -- same lineage, same license, built for today's ESI and 100+ characters. Add your characters through ESI login and you're home.
